Cannondale Scalpel-Si: Will it handle a Pike 120mm?

[Sidmouth]

I need to replace my frame,while i have never been a fan of Cannondale the new I think is amazing, however i have a pike 120 on my current XC bike, does anyone know this frame can take a Pike or is it Lefty only?

Pike on a Scalpel. Purists will burn you at the stake!

[Sidmouth]

LOL, its a risk im willing to take

[Mike Posthumus]

Sidmouth, it will with specific bearings (bottom) and reducers at top - can be ordered from cannondaleexpert.com (shop I know of that will have a solution).  Like said above would be a sin. However, cant imagine anything more fun than a 130mm supermax lefty on the new scalpel! 

[Scalpel]

Just make sure before ypu go this route. On the new Si Scalpel they use different size Lefty's for the different frame sizes. The head tube size differs on the different size Scalpels. Hence a small size frame wont be able to fit a medium sized Lefty. This is only on the 2017 Scalpels.

Regardless of whether its compatible, it will undoubtedly look better than a lefty fork.

I cannot get my head around a lefty, but the new SI, looks amazing
