If you want to be an awkward, and in this case right, customer, I reckon you've got a fair chance of getting it replaced, their design is shit and if they've changed it since because it was shit, there really should've been a recall. If you've got ~£500 spare, get it sent off to target composites but I really think Cannondale should be fixing this, there's no way it's not their fault, yes it happened in a crash but any other frame likely wouldn't have broken in the same way, that frame wouldn't have broken in the same way if modified like target do. I'd be very annoyed if I'd spent that amount of money on something that's just not made properly, but TBF I'd never buy a Cannondale anyway because they're always full of awkward designs choices and stupid proprietary parts, this is one of the few choices I'd say is worth a recall though.
