I posted this in the Cannondale forum but thought I'd share it here with the other cyclocross fanatics. Reportedly @14.4 lbs. Anybody want to buy my supersix road bike? I don't need it anymore.

No disc mounts, it's worthless, nobody will ever win on it.

too bad its raced by posers!

That's a good point though. The bike is already below legal weight with quite a few grams still to lose. With some discs this thing could be right at the legal limit. Now what would be a SuperX!! Since it's carbon, tradition is thrown right out the window, so you might as well go all the way. I honestly think that would be a killer bike and eye opener.

Yeah, the Cannondale 'cross team is terrible. *rolls eyes*
I guess Tuesday/tomorrow pictures and more info will be showing up everywhere. There's going to be a lot of cool things for 2011.

Very Nice

I saw the catalog, there are two models and Cannodale uses their own fork for these, not Easton. The prices are expensive, the cheapest of the two I think was $3,700. They still have the aluminum models for those of us who can only dream.

no fatty headshock either...what's a Cdale crosser without a headshock. what a turd.

I saw the new XC MTB as well. New scalpel is very nice. The $9800 price tag is not however very nice. Same color scheme as this bike. They also used a carbon rim on their top end MTB OEM.

You would think for that kind of money they wouldn't put the cables on the down tube.

+1 Deal breaker. Internally route or GTFO.

I was thinking the same thing. I just don't get why bike manufacturers aren't doing this more. For example, the Focus Mares does not come with internal cables, but their high end road bike does. Doesn't make sense given the potential benefits in CX and triviality for road.

Maybe because for most people 'cross is still their "beater" bike? Not many Joes have a 10, 000 dollar cross bike. I see regular people riding super expensive road and mtn.bikes all the time but hardly ever cross bikes. Personally for me I'd rather have an awesome cross bike. It's almost as fast/light as a road bike and can handle most of the trails I ride on.

 

[Todd_H]

My point is, if you are going to offer a high-end carbon cross bike in your lineup why not do what Ridley did, and go internal? I don't think about cables during a race, but there is more potential for failure having them externally routed.

Stem is crooked. Junk.

This is not the top end Super X, the high end bike has Zipp wheels, SRAM Red and Hollowgram cranks

 

[limba]

That makes sense. I was going to ask why no Hollowgrams on the top bike?
