THE ALUMINUM ADVANTAGE The bicycle frame industry has been stagnant for over 50 years. The technology that builds today's steel frames was developed with the bicycle your grandfather rode. A Model Tis a classic automobile, but could it win at Indy? Steel tubing has served the cyclist well, but has always meant a compromise. To get the stable ride of a long wheelbase, touring cyclists have had to put up with a flexible, inefficient frame. When the wheelbase is made shorter for racing, a steel bike becomes harsh and uncomfortable to ride. At Cannondale, we've always been responsive to the cyclist's needs. Now we have taken advantage of the latest materials and technology to elevate the bicycle to a new level. By combining the stiffness of large diameter tubing with the shock absorption and lightweight of aluminum we have created bicycle frames that deliver an efficient, comfortable ride no matter what the wheelbase. Test ride a Cannondale aluminum bicycle for today's ultimate cycling experience.
