I went out today, and after much hunting, came away with a Capo 5 Red. Funnily enough, the frame feels heavier than my Bowery's. I can safely say that I never seen more horrible looking pedals anywhere, as on the Capo. The shop will swap the for some standard MKS ones instead. The sizing is also slightly different. I had to get a 54cm, as the 52cm was definitely too small.
I'll post a dual review of the Maxxis Refuse's that come with the bike, and also the bike itself and its handling. I'm supposing its heavier than I expected, because Cannondale expect it to be thrashed in hard road riding. They could be right.
My Bowery will be undergoing some slight cosmetic and performance changes. Ditto to the Capo. I don't think I will ever get on with that spinny gearing.
