Agreed it’s a nice paint job, cheers for sharing, was just grumbling and reminiscing about the world before 9/11.
Not a sociologist or psychologist, but I reckon there’s a difference between remembering tragedy and what the US does. At a point, it’s healthy to move on.
Leshaches-
There is a fine line to cross before things can be understood as jingoism, especially when 9/11 and waving the amercan flag is concerned.
A quick googling and this seems to be the background story which for me makes these bikes more well-meaning if still quite shit
“Shortly after 9/11, five firemen from NYC went on a goodwill bike run from NYC to Los Angeles. Cannondale donated custom bikes for this trip. They were CAAD5 with upgraded parts and a very custom "stars and strips" paint job. In 2002 Cannondale decided to make a limited production run to sell them to the public.”

Ngl, I did not notice that it was a 9/11 tribute. I think it's a pretty cool paint job. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with remembering a tragedy.
I mainly posted it for the sketchy track ends, which they seem to have totally skipped over.
