A once great American bicycle company, now just another mcbike. The company had a failed attempt to manufacture ATV and Motocross bikes. This caused a bankruptcy and being purchased by a private equity holding company (Pegasus). It looked as the company was back on track but no real advancement have been made since 2005. Many of the paint schemes even look like rejects from previous years.
Cannondales proudly displayed "Handmade in USA" on the rear seat stays. Now most models are just Mcbikes from China.
In 2008 Cannondale was sold to Dorel. A Canadian company that owns the ruins of many great brand such as Schwinn, GT and Mongoose. This makes the prospects look good to being just another Schwinn or Raleigh. A once great name that was dragged through the mud to make a fast buck on customers that don't know better but will learn why the price is so low. With the move to sell cheap bikes they have decided to compete with Asian brands and rebranders like Trek in a very crowed market. Most Treks are made by Giant in Taiwan.
You'd now be better off getting a Specialized or Bianchi. They are made in Taiwan but the parent companies have better track record on components and craftsmanship.

The main reason to buy a Cannondale was to own a quality American made bicycle that you knew was made in Pennsylvania. Now it's is just rebranded Chinese crap. Freds will probably knock themselves out to get a once premium name for 300 bucks.

Get the Jack and Jill Cannonblast mug.When a man is receiving oral sex from their boyfriend/girlfriend, they take their balls and put one on each side of the shaft so that it looks like a Cannon on rolling wheels. As the man approaches orgasm he announces that he is going to fire the cannon and forces the other party (Male or female) to deepthroat them and then the man takes a lighter and lights one of his pubic hairs one fire so that it begins to burn away. This must be timed correctly so that when the pubic hair is completely burnt away the man orgasms down the others throat (Like a cannonball firing)
