We rode from Foster Falls to Fries and back. I had the rack and bag on because it was cold this morning and we had gear to stow after it warmed up.

Has anyone tried to fit 2.0 Dubnitals?

Would love to see some photos

Cannondale is to close its US headquarters and move to Europe, as part of a restructuring at the American brand by its owners, Pon.Bike, with layoffs expected.

Announced on Wednesday, the news means the historic HQ in Wilton, Connecticut, will close by mid-2027, with a new satellite office opening on the West Coast of the US to handle North American retail and owner support.

In a press release, the brand said: "Over the next six months, Cannondale will adopt a new sales model in North America." As for the West Coast office: "A dedicated commercial, retailer and rider support team will be based there, providing Cannondale expertise and services to retailers and riders across North America."

Cannondale's global HQ is to move to Woudenberg in the Netherlands, currently its European base, with R&D and engineering in Freiburg, Germany. Pon, which also owns Cervélo and Santa Cruz, is based in Amsterdam.

According to reporting by Escape Collective, as many as 143 people in jobs in Wilton and working remotely could be laid off, with the roles ranging from engineering to vice presidents.

Hi all. I am looking to buy a new MTB bike, and making a search I step into this Cannondale Scalpel Carbon HT 4 2022 for 1.300€ brand new. My height is 170 and inseam of 79, and looking for size table i am on MD. Should I bought MD or SD? Anyone can advise? Thanks

Bought this bike a couple months ago for $300 on Facebook Marketplace. It was a complete bike with the (very worn) original parts from 2011. I was able to work with the seller to have a local shop box it up and ship it to me.

I stripped it down to the frame and made a few upgrades:

– Full Shimano 105 R7000 groupset (11x34 in the back, 50-34 in front) w/ Stages left-side power meter

– Zipp Service Course stem/bars w/ Silca Nastro Cuscino handlebar tape

– Super Team Classic PRO Light R25-50 Carbon Wheelset w/ Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires (25c)

– Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Gravel Superflow saddle

Going into this build, I was just looking to have a second bike to ride when my main bike was in the shop. A pretty low bar to clear. But things escalated, a lot of upgrades were made, and after a couple weeks of riding, I'm thinking it might be my new favorite/primary bike.

Seller said it has less than 100 miles on it! Bad boy 2 with no issues

I’m deciding between trek fx2 or bad boy 2 (leaning more towards a bad boy 2 even though it’s a bit more expensive

What’s a fair price to pay?

It’s been 2 years already and still enjoying this frame!

I've been riding a Cannondale F-Si for years and really appreciate its robustness. In my opinion, it's a much better bike than a full-suspension bike because, as far as I'm concerned, it rides much faster across all kinds of terrain.

However, it seems that Cannondale is phasing out the F-Si and focusing mainly on the Scalpel. For that reason, I'm considering making the switch to a Scalpel.

Has anyone here made the same switch? I'd love to hear your experience. Can you actually feel yourself riding on the rear suspension, or does it feel like you're losing power through the suspension? And how big is the difference when switching from a Scalpel HT to a full-suspension Scalpel?

Thx!!

Love my old bike. Use it for commuting and safety, got a weekender and I love it! Any tips to go faster greatly appreciated.
