I don't care how aerodynamic it is, the designers in Cannondale should be shot!!!

I like it. It's green.

Kintarō Hattori · 23-08-2011 9:43am

Sorry but I like it.

UCI will probably ban it, like the look of it, but wouldn't like to be speared by the back of it in an accident

Hungrycol · 23-08-2011 9:52am

I quite like it too. It looks fast! I do agree it is a like or hate thing.

UCI approved, so says the sticker on the frame

OP is right. Ugly as sin. Bring back the 80s.

crashoveroid · 23-08-2011 10:09am

I like it looks quick.

Jawgap · 23-08-2011 10:19am

Has Graham Knuttel started designing bikes......

Johnners1878 · 23-08-2011 11:14am

That's just wrong. It's barely a BSO ffs....

It's alright I suppose

mahoo · 23-08-2011 12:21pm

my eyes!!.... that is hideous.. it looks like they forgot about the seat post when they were designing it and just bolted one onto the crossbar afterwards. ugggg

Piercemeear · 23-08-2011 12:54pm

It's only marginally more hideous than all modern road/TT bikes.

patrick151 · 23-08-2011 12:59pm

Looks like someone played with filters in photoshop on the poor bike

But looks like it's using ideas from F1. They have similar extended pieces coming from the air intake above the drivers heads. I believe it's meant to aid cornering and reduce dirty air over the back wheel(s)

Looks like something that this fella would do...

Edit: It's mingin BTW!

jimbobaloobob · 23-08-2011 3:08pm

the seat post looks like an after thought.

wayne0308 · 23-08-2011 3:24pm

The back of that bike would slice you in three halves if you were unlucky in a crash.

I don't really like it, the small narrow seat post looks weird sitting in the huge seat tube. Other than that though, it does indeed look fast and it must make some improvement on drag if they went with that design.

Dr.Millah · 23-08-2011 3:40pm

Mank!

Origami bike. Unless the rider on that wins a tt he's gonna look like a teat.

Oh dear, oh dear ......
