2012 Cannondale

[funhog1]

This looks like this may be a reincarnation of the system-six. The rear end is the exact same as the CAAD10, note the 'delta box' logo by the BB at the bottom of the seat tube. The whole rear end, including BB area look as though they are made of the aluminium CAAD10........

IMO rgkicksbutt called it.

all the visual ques are there

I've noticed: no metal chain-stay protector on drive-side for chain-drop/suck

and green/white graphics on the inside of the CS's, looks a bit similar to that shown here in white/red http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iDm-x9jU470/T ... %2B150.jpg

IF they've figured out they could go internal with a weld at the SS/TT/ST junction........HOLY KOW

BUT I can't tell.....

for sure.....

did you notice that some are riding Campy chainrings?

They are using Campy rings because the BCD on all their SRM's is 135mm. Replacing all those SRM's with 130BCD meters would be pretty pricey.

did you notice that some are riding Campy chainrings?

this is not a pic of the new prototype
did you notice that?

of course i noticed that. but it was a photo of the same training ride. they are all riding sram red, but only some have sram rings.
i guess they pitched for some new SRMs.



i know, it's an older bike too. so shoot me.

They probably kept the campy 135 srms for training bikes and new 130 or 110 ones for the new race bikes.

...except one of the pics up top shows the new Evo with campy rings, too.
it doesn't matter, in the end. it's early in the season. I just thought it was interesting.

[funhog1]

Interesting....


Ridiculous

ALL the pics have been scrubbed.

But how much does it weigh??

[bruno2000]

Or maybe this is just the Team Edition of the Caad10 frame...

[cswi9367]

definately the new super. its been called the "evo" in unofficial talk.
it looks like my SuperX rearend and a new designed super six front end.

i like it. if it rides in combination to my SuperX and my Super6, its going to be amazing.

internal cable routing is nice along the top tube.

So some think it is a new System6 with a CAAD10 rear? Wouldn't that be more expensive for Cannondale to make? I guess price of CF has gone up and aluminum is cheaper. Not sure. If it is a SuperX rear, would this be more of a cobbled classics type bike like what Specialized has and Trek is coming out with?

[durkonion]

You an see carbon fiber on every tube, so it's not a new System6.

[53x12]

Where do you see "carbon on every tube"?






Seems like a lot of paint to me.

[funhog1]

It's an EVO
