I give Cannondale a pass for doing this last season when Lab71 was brand new and production likely lagged behind the marketing effort. But this is the 2nd season that Cannondale is doing this, when Lab71 frames are in decent supply. I'm not angry about Cannondale's false advertising. I just find it curious and see nothing wrong with calling them out for it, that's all. The bike industry is weird.
As for elitist tier frames, I have no issue with it. I own a few of those elitist frames myself.
