Whoa! Didn't they hire the German dude who designed the Scott Addict? I think I remember reading this somewhere; if so this is probably the sign of great things to come.

Denk is best known for his decade-plus collaboration with Scott (where he and his Germany-based firm steered such key carbon projects as the Spark, Scale, CR1 and Addict, plus their associated CR1 and IMP construction technologies) that ended in late 2007.

For now, Denk and his Denk Engineering GmbH colleague – who is also now a full-time employee of CSG – will both remain in Germany.

"I can't really give you any details at this point but I can tell you that even before this announcement, Peter's been working with us on a number of projects that will come out for model year 2011," he said.
The Flash Carbon was co-developed with former Scott bicycles engineer and carbon technologies guru Peter Denk. After a decade of partnership, Denk and Scott Sports parted ways in October of 2008. Together, Cannondale and Denk have created what they are calling the lightest hardtail, ever.

Cannondale is, in many european cyclists opinions, the brand with the biggest "Made in USA" image out there. They were the only US company that proudly wrote "Handmade in USA" on the seatstays on all their bikes and I believe it was part of the image, a fact that they were made there, from the scratch. Cannondale = made in USA (for many people)
