This'll make Kato and all the other SRAM brainwashers happy. Cannondale are speccing quite a lot of SRAM on their 05 range. The F4000SL gets XO mechs and shifters and the lower end bikes are gettting SRAM rapid fire and mechs. They're still using Shimano chains and cassettes though :-)

It'll be interesting to see if other manufacturers go this way.

my 03 cannondale cane with sram 9.0 cassette, from what i saw when i bought it the 04's had sram too.

There'll be a lot of it about. Many manufacturers are having trouble getting hold of supplies of certain Shimano parts in time for their desired launch date.

Yes, I heard that the deore won't be available until Jan 05.

God bless Cannondale ;-)

I thought you'd appreciate that. Never thought I hear you praise Cannondale though.:-)

I like Cannondales Mike



Well, I like yours anyway :-)

I think we both have a thing for weird forks.

Must do, although at least mine has two legs

















and 4 pivots ;-)

I was expecting a picture of Tony Benn!
