2016 Cannondale Scalpel

[gfeldy]

As much as I like Cannondale bikes I'm very disappointed in their 2016 line. Even a switch from a Lefty to the RS1 would've been more interesting than the new lineup. I guess the good think is I wont be bike envious for another 12 months.

I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of updates on the SuperX (no Di2-support), and the fact that they didn't update the geometry of the Scalpel and made the rear asymmetric. Otherwise I think it's a nice program (except that the orange F-Si frame isn't a hi-mod).

Gfeldy, Why would you want a switch from a Lefty to the RS1? The RS1 may look nice but it's terrible to ride on

[gfeldy]

I would never switch to an RS1. I was just poking fun at the 2016 lineup and the lack of updates.

Does the lack of updates in the MTB lineup foreshadow a new road frame for the Tour? It seems like most companies alternate their releases each year between road and MTB.

There will be a NEW Supersix Evo and a CAAD12.

My 2015 ultimate build is almost complete. Did a little trick cable routing to reduce the amount of CDale clamps.

Looks really good. Only the stem is a bit mèh.

As many of us smaller Scalpel riders know, the head tube is massive on these bike. This is the only way I've found to drop the bars low enough in order for my hands to not go numb.

XTR 9000 Race and Gold KMC hollow pin should be here any day. I hope to have this thing rolling for the weekend!!

So smooth!!! It will hit the scales tomorrow.
