I am sure you've seen it already, but in case any of you 29er fans have been sleeping...here is the next Big Wheel fresh out of the factory from the good old boys in Bedford, PA. Cdale has listened to the masses and began production on this sure fire hit. Rumored to be available September '06 with a price tag around $1,600. The Cannondale Caffeine 29'er.
Spec'd as follows:

GOOD RUNDOWN ON THE SPECS, BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND OF CABLE HOUSING IS ON THAT THING?? CALL YOUR PEOPLE, THANKS BIGWHEELRIDER....
P.S. HOW IS ONE TO SHIFT IN THE AIR ON THE CANNONWHALE?
blueif, they use the excess skin from 29erfan for the cable housing since he has no need for it after shedding his winter pelt.
About the shifting in the air question - you will have to ask Jose, sorry...
I THINK I UNDERSTAND, THE CRACKINFAIL 29ER NOW. THANKS FOR SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE... BIG WHEELS.......
