BarloWorld Cannondale (skunkworks)
Just read an article in cycling weekly (uk mag) in which they showed a black team bike which no one could identify. There is speculation that this is the all new carbon racer. Anyone seen the pic/read the article/know anything? Also the new six13 slice looks really cool! its a pity that cannondale reserves those tear drop shapes and seat tube cutouts for time trial/tri bikes. All speculation/rumors welcome!

I think it was cyclingnews.com that had a photo of the new Cannondale. I confirmed this past weekend that it will be released for 2007 and that the CF front triangle will be made in the US (unlike the Synapse). Is the bike full CF or is it a CF front triangle with the CAAD8 rear end? And it had a huge head tube...why the hell would they do that on a road bike?
I can't find that photo on cyclingnews but I swear I saw it there...still looking.

so pretty much its an evoutionary step from six 13, now entire front half is carbon, while seat tube, chainstays and seat stays are caad 8? 1.5" head tube? oh wow! all new forks/stems on the way! What's the benefit to the wider head tube? Strength increases, so does weight. Is it really necessary?

A new standard is cool. I just hated Cannondale proprietary Hollowgram crank/BB.
I wish Shimano would just revamp the frame standard with their new DA 7900 group to be honest.

I like the frame pump in the pic...I went back to one myself and ditched the Co2.

LOVING my Six13 boys. Man, that bike just ROCKS. I wonder what this new Cdale will be like?
