blinkstefaans Posted May 25, 2020 Share 75k for Carbon 3 with alu wheels and mix of SLX / Deore is very steep at any rate and more so in these times where manufacturers + shops are running specials. Insane tech and sexy bikes still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted May 26, 2020 Share I think bikes like the Scalpel SE is going to become the new mainstream sellers - 120mm travel, 2.3 tyres, dropper. Perfect for a 3 day event mid field.Re price,sadly that looks like the new normal, better get used to it. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted May 26, 2020 Share Its a great looking bike but I think the price is mad for the base model. I wonder what a frame alone will cost? BTW, the Spesh Epic has a flex stay too. Come to think of it, this looks a lot like an Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, this looks a lot like an Epic. The epics flexy stay is on the seat stay like the Scott, Scalepl Si, Merida, DengFu, Supercaliber, KTM Scarpe, Cube etc etc. Cannondale held the patent for the carbon Flexing chainstay and probably renewed it with this new design spy, BikeisLife and 'Dale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton. Posted June 13, 2020 Share I want the one that's valued at 199 Is that an elektroniese gruppo? Its says AXS, and you can see the battery knob sticking off the rear derailleur .. so yes. Must have made Cannondale execs pretty unhappy to have held this one back during launch, waiting for Sram to announce the 10-52 Eagle cassettes. Remember everyone asking Where is the top-shelf model?

DieselnDust Posted June 13, 2020 Share Its a great looking bike but I think the price is mad for the base model. I wonder what a frame alone will cost? Current frame is R46k + lefty at R28K for the Ocho excluding Headset. Don't need to have the headset of course.I suspect the 2021 frames will between R50-52K for the Hi Mod and around R36K for the Ballistec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
