I guess you can't call the front section a fork anymore. :)

The way your $ is at the moment, it will be to expensive to import from China !!

What's the advantage of that mono-tube suspension?

They can be built lighter. This one is 1400 grams in its alloy version. The carbon version takes it down to like 1200 grams.

Performance wise I don't think there's much difference between this one and a similiarly priced traditional fork.

I love those cannondales, still waiting for one to pop up cheap enough for me on craigs, also it needs to be an XL frame so it limits my opportunities. I just sold my R300 in anticipation of a mountain bike deal when/if it comes up. I would also switch the front to a 29 to make it a 69er.....

Shaving those grams probably gets expensive.

All that money and they only gave you half of a fork?!?! ;)

Nice bike. Just bought me a Rock Shox Recon fork for my bike to replace the crap that has been on there for the past 10 years.

Does somebody make a bike with a single swingarm like a Ducati motorcycle?

Nice buy! Always thought those lefty forks looked cool

At this rate we're gonna have to ask for a cycling forum here on Peach Parts.

(Nice bike by the way)

Assembled in the USA ,no? Unless Shimano has moved their crank set, group set, bottom bracket, shifter and hub production to the US recently, last I heard they manufactured in China, Malaysia, and Singapore.

From Wiki:

"The Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, is an American bicycle manufacturer, headquartered in Bethel, Connecticut with manufacturing and assembly facilities in Taichung, Taiwan. Cannondale is a subsidiary of Dorel Industries."

"Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, NASDAQ: DIIB) is a Canadian company, based in Montreal, Quebec"

Never the less it is a very nice bicycle, at least it was purchased in the USA.

This frame and fork were made in USA. Says right there on the frame. It's a 2010.

Heh yeah, I get that a lot. :D:D

Sometimes people will ask me about it and I'll pretend to freakout about it.
