From the days of Cipo winning countless sprints to the current riders
of Liquigas, Cannondale has been making bikes for the pro's for a long time.
They are pioneers in aluminum, oversized head tubes and the BB30 which is being
adopted all over the industry. From the first CAAD frames to the Super Six Hi
Mod, these are race frames designed to take a beating. Headquartered in Bethel,
Connecticut, Cannondale designs and develops bicycles in Bedford, Pennsylvania.
The company operates subsidiaries in Holland, Switzerland, Japan, and Australia,
and is owned by the Canadian company Dorel. To further their commitment
to Pro Tour racing , Liquigas will be called Liguigas-Cannondale. This reflects
Cannondale's increased support and sponsorship of Basso and the whole team. This
along with overall wins in the 2010 Giro and Vuelta, shows that Cannondale is
committed to pro racing. When it comes to cross Cannondale is no slouch
either. Refined North American geometry, bomb proof Alloy and Carbon frames is
what we love about Cannondale CX bikes. Johnson ,Driscoll and Powers have all
been dominating the North American CX scene on board the new Super X frame, the
first carbon CX frame for Cannondale. Johnson goal is the CX Worlds in Kentucky
in 2 yrs, which will be on board a Cannondale.
Another great feature of
Cannondale is they are not driven by trends, or what other companies do. Proof
is that they still develop one of the best Alloy Road frames on the market, the
CAAD 10. In my opinion the best race bike for the dollar.Don't get me wrong, I
love carbon but believe Aluminum still has a place. I would take a $ 2000 CAAD
10 over a $ 2000 carbon bike any day. Most manufactures won't make Aluminum bikes
anymore because it is easier and cheaper to make carbon. Shops sell carbon bikes
because it is the current trend and it is easy to sell, the industry and media
do it for them. All you need to know is cheap carbon bikes are exactly that, education
is key. We can substitute any part on our bikes to suit your needs and budget.
All bikes include a comprehensive sizing and fitting appointment. Check out the
