not in those colours tho surely

What thread is this?

Kids bikes and Evans knuckleshufflers >>>>>

Feel my knuckleshufflers miro.

I don't feel it, the bike that is...

Probably a reepadeep from a while back... I was doing the 'what if I had a few thousand £s to spend' on evanscycles and I think this is particularly pretty...

No one buy it, because I want it one day.

All that money and Ksyriums on it, what a waste.

If caad10 can make it why not allez?

The caad10 shouldn't be here
I wasn't complaining about the Allez just saying you'd never expect to see one in here

If a common Trek can make, why not a spesh....

I suspect because Cannondale, rightly or wrongly have some 'masters of alu' cachet, and because in theory you can trace lineage through the CAAD range that includes grand tour stage winning frames like the CAAD9.

That and the Allez frame is fugly. Although to be fair the silver and black one Dan posted on the previous page is a strong effort.

Agree. And wrongly. The grand master of alu was and is Gary Klein. Klein, however, fell victim to Trek which he joined to get a network to compete against the superior marketing of Canondale.. Klein's genes live on.. The Quantum is clearly the grand dad of the Storck (which btw. started off as the Klein importer to Germany) and a number of others.. Old Kleins are cool.. Old Canondales are about as "sexy" as an empty can of Pepsi.. the coolest old Canondale product in my book was the Coda Magic Cranks--- which set the stage for Shimano to make hollow cranks--- but it was really a Coda and the Canondale follow-ups were pretty darn boring...

Nah

Klien had the first inetgrater setup on their mountain bikes if i remember

Troll!

I know there's reasons that people will call anti on this, but I can't stop looking at it.

Might call repost

Klein had loads of innovations. smooth welded construction, oversized alu tubes, oversized integrated bottom brackets. integrated headsets, complex butted (axial and radial) alloy tubes, shaped tubes etc. Klein also adopted a lot of the stuff that was just starting to happen such as internal cable routing, extended seat-tubes, threadless steer tubes and vertical drop-outs. Quality and finish was also extraordinary.

When Klein came along most road bicycles used 1" steel tubes--- with a few exceptions such as Vitus with their alu tubes or the Teledyn Titanium--- and were in larger sizes quite noodles. The Klein frames were lighter and stiffer than pretty much anything out there.

^^^ I think it's awesome, BMC probably have my favourite bikes in the pro peloton right now - I'm longing for a TMR01.

Longer answer:

I like Cannondales - and the reason behind this is that they always seem to have been an engineering led company.

They invented the BB30 standard and then open sourced it, they pushed a single sided fork (strut?) into production and kept it there, constantly refining it.

They pushed the understanding of how to use aluminium as a frame material- sometimes to failure, it is true. As Howard says, the CAAD9 was a stage winning frame.

With the SystemSix they (possibly apocryphal , I grant you) lost money on every frame made, such was the complexity of the manufacturing process. They did it anyway, and created another stage winning frame.

The Hollowgram SiSl2 is the current iteration of the Coda crank- constantly evolving, rather than rebadging someone else's kit and slapping it on.

The Evo Nano is at the cutting edge of carbon frame design, the CAAD10 at the cutting edge of alloy frame design.

Beyond that, I really enjoy riding mine.

thats it, alias is going on ignore

those are just nasty. gives me nightmares. BMC won't do that.

I want a caad10...

I've always wanted one of the cherry red/maroon saeco cannondale caad's - and nothing that anyone says is going to change my mind.

Anyone got a pic of a great big red Cannondale Capo with deep carbon rims?

Asking for a friend.
