Your posting is very infantile and off-putting to people wanting to discuss sensibly.

You're a poo poo head.

I finally got myself a 2.8 frame, a nice 1995 purple R800. If anyone is interested, I'm selling my 56cm Capo frameset in the classifieds

My CAAD10 is still for sale after some serious nuisance failed sales.
Anyway. 54cm 105 5700, complete bike, £600 ono. Come at me....
The groupset is 190 miles old. The wheelset is Aksium. 90 miles on the Michelin Pro4 tyres.
Comes with spare inner tubes.
I just spent the past two days riding it. It is still whippet light, and fast as all hell.

regarding the lefty crosser:

"Still, Rudell offered up details on the Slate, Cannondale's drop-bar bike for all roads meant to appeal to the “anti-road” rider. The 650b bike comes spec’d with 30-millimeter Lefty fork and 42c tires. Its shorter chainstays and lower bottom bracket allow it to retain efficiency on the road with pretty fat tires, Rudell said. It comes in 105, Ultegra and Force CX1 builds for $2,950 to $4,290. And while it doesn’t come spec'd with a dropper post, it’s dropper compatible."

I'm expecting about £1700 and up.

Close enough

Be interesting to see how many they shift in the UK. 100 or so?

If they sold the Lefty on it's own, many many $?

Not that many people who want a pricey super-short travel, double crown front end whilst ruling out pretty much any system wheelset going because of the need for a special front hub.

I'd imagine, anyway.

Heh. Even I don't want one (I'm just harbouring FSi lust, that's all).

You suggested that you could modify an existing Lefty fairly easily?

You could convert a stock XLR. You'd need to reduce the travel - easy with plastic spacers - and reduce the air chamber volume to keep the spring rate sensible. Not quite so easy, but you can do it brute force simply buy pooring a volume of suspension fluid into the air chamber.

Just means you carrying round an extra amount of plastic, fluid and damper shaft that you don't really need.

All [most] lefties are effectively designed for 26" wheels, then reduced to fit their application. Oliver might be different, or it might just be a carbon with a load of spacers in it. Who knows.

If it's £1700 I'll buy one!

Usually dollars to sterling is close to 1:1 on these type of things.

True. I can't see them selling many for £2950 to be honest. That would buy you a carbon hi-mod FSi with Si cranks, 1x11 and Stans Arch rims.

...not that you've given it more than a passing thought...

;-)

The slate isn't completely ridiculous as a ride-to-trail-centre, do-a-loop then-ride-back kinda tool.

(stopping half way to service the forks natch)

When does it launch in the U.S.? I'm in Colorado in a couple of weeks.

650b and 42mm tyres, did they not know there's an even bigger 48mm version out now?

...not that you've given it more than a passing thought...

I DON'T CHECK THE PRICES EVERY DAY OR ANYTHING

Yes please
