I’ve always hated it. It’s full sticky-out single cantilever vs aluminium fatigue why didn’t they just stick the stay a bit further back madness.
I was about to say if it had been a problem we’d probably see it posted all over the internet but Tester makes a good point about them back in the day.
Do we trust this old Cannondale dropout design? It's always seemed mad to me.
