650b options- Cannondale going to offer it next year 2014?
Moderator: Moderator Team
It seems 2013 is very 29er centric for the main Specialized/Trek/Giant/Cannondale players. It seems most of them are very heavily invested in the 29er wheelsize and therefore haven't offered a 650b option for fear of diluting there 2013 bikes. I'm super disappointed Cannondale don't even offer a 26' hardtail in most markets (except you lucky Europeans).
So the question is will they (and specifically Cannondale) be offering some 650b options in 2014 do you think?
I have a 26' Cannondale Flash and would love to try 650b. If they brought out a 650b Flash that would be amazing. I'm 179cm with shortish legs and have never felt comfortable on a 29er.

Flash 26" rear is good, at least the aluframe what we tested on work. So get a Lefty and new wheelset

650b and Lefty original is good.
Flash 29er to 650b works but long chainstays. Can get some more travel out of your fork thou.
yes, think the 26" will be better to convert

That's what I hear.
My original question is whether Cannondale will release a specific 650b model, much like the Scott Scale which has specific 26, 650b and 29 frames.
In my opinion they should!

My guess is they won't do the hardtail in 650B. They ditched the 26", why bring in another wheelsize again to further confuse?
A Scalpel 650B on the other hand, that would be cool.

Trigger 650b is the bike I want for next year

Dan posted this on the other site. No 650b listed there but who knows about the rest of the world.

That stealth color theme on F3 looks great- makes me kinda swaping my Orbea built to this frameset
