It would have been a contender if it was in my size.
It's just a personal thing - my thoughts on Cannondale just don't really send any positive thoughts rushing through my head. It's a bit shameful, but I like to think the rest of my bikes are moderately fancy/desirable/noticeable. I see most cf bikes as bog standard Evans fodder for guys from Richmond. Nothing inherently wrong with it, but not where I am right now.
One of the reasons I wanted to keep the cost much south of 3k, is that if i crept to that amount, I'd think 'fuck it' and go for my semi-dream bike and get a Trek Domane 5.9 (£3,8k) - the only bike where the actual design innovations would make me ignore the 'orrible branding. At 2k II'll be half way there when I sell my (lovely IMO!) Colnago Super (after L'eroica) and the Di2 (which represents the bulk of the cost) can be recycled.
