why doesn’t it get any love?
It's basically a caad10/12 but with less fancy aluminium and the stock builds aren't very fancy but otherwise I think they're very decent
Basically a more modern CAAD 8. There's no such thing as a bad alloy Cannondale frame IMO, they do know their stuff.
As you say, cheaper aluminium used but likely the Optimo is more robust than a CAAD12 with it's famously fragile toptube.
