Is it still made in Bedford or overseas?

Bummer. Guess I'll be keeping my caad9 after all.

I've ridden it, definitly a step forward.

No SRM offerings for 2011 on the top end bikes.... guess Im SRMing my Liquigas HiMod on my own...

Has the 2011 Cannondale road line officially been launched? I don't see it on their website and haven't found any articles on it.

In what way?

Frame weight is down about 120grams lighter and the front end stiffness was definitly up. BB stiffness felt about the same, it may have improved a little but not real noticable. Whole bike just felt a little more solid.

with all the new power measurement systems out there, there is no reason to try add it to the retail line.

Dumb question, but could I procure just the CAAD-10 frame and possibly the frame/crankset?

I would take frame and fork (and cranks). Cdale have a pretty damn nice fork now. I think bang for the buck wise it would be very hard to beat.

crank sets are now stand alone available...

Cdale were adding SRM at a hell of a nice price point when included with the bike... The SISL SRM is still the lightest / stiffest available set up.

edit

To answer some questions.

1. Yes, the CAAD 10 will be available as a frameset.
2. The Hollowgram SiSL is currently available in almost every possible combination.
3. Cannondale is not allowed to sell the Hollowgram SiSL SRM aftermarket per an agrement with SRM
4. You may buy a Hollowgram SiSL from Cannondale and then ship it to SRM and they will take care of the powermeter stuff. All you have to do is ship them arms, lockring, chainrings, and chainring bolts. 2 day turn around.

5. I wouldn't expect the SRM spec'd bikes to be gone forever.
