And this looks like something in between a gravel bike, a touring bike and a road bike for elderly people
I think the term you're looking for is utalitarian.
Cannondale doesn't strike me as nostalgic, so we're probably at odds here.
Anyway, I welcome the approach they took on the 13.
Looks refreshing amidst all the gash and uncalled for design flourishes of cycling industry.Not a bad build for a baseline OTP, too. Finishing kit, in particular, looks more fitting/cohesive than most upgrades these frames will see.

Not entirely sure but a CAAD to me always was the successor of the old Saecos of the cipollini era (caad 3to 6 id say)
And this looks like something in between a gravel bike, a touring bike and a road bike for elderly people (but with low seat stay joints and an integrated seat post clamp, because thats just what you do these days)
And those horrible stripes make it even worse
And all that despite the all black parts, which usually has the potential to save almost every build from looking entirely shite
Like the base color tho (for a touring bike)
