Cannondale's bicycle frames are unreal...

If it weren't for the fact that they're a little more expensive than a Trek with similar components, I would be riding one.

When you do an A/B comparison with another bike (at least for road bikes) you can feel that more of your power is going to the wheel on the Cannondale... very cool.

In one of my warped motorcycle daydreams I imagine Cannondale coming out of nowhere to create a "real" American sportbike, with the motorcross bikes and ATVs as a starting point.

Yah I'm dreaming and it doesn't address the motor issue but wouldn't it be cool?

Bicycle frames may be pretty different than sportbike frames, but they aren't *that* different, and some of the mountain bikes even have swingarm designs that are similar to a motorcycle. The dirtbikes supposedly handle great, and and they obviously have some serious Aluminum wizards working for them, so I bet they could make some really great sportbike frames after a little learning too.

A long while, prob 3 or 4 years now, What I want is...... Fuck can't member the name, it was at Vanson Open house 2001 spring. $ stroke 400 that you can start with your hand sitting on the seat, and to change gears it was like 5 bolts pull out the gears in one piece and put in a different set, so you can go from trails to MX to street all in 10 minutes...... Fuck what was the name of that bike....VOR that's it VOR
