The Radavist

Here’s the full-length to that teaser I posted on Friday, featuring Cannondale’s new Slate suspension road bike on a ride from Park City to Ogden and Tim Johnson. Slate packs big 27.5 / 650b tires and the new Lefty Oliver road suspension. Watch it gobble up a 100 mile ride that hits smooth tarmac, gravel roads and into the back country of the Wasatch mountain range.

I have an idea. I’ve ridden one… More next week!

Spring has sprung and the sakuras are in bloom. This makes for an ideal backdrop for Will’s Cannondale track with full Suntour. Check out more of this bike at Will’s Flickr.

David at Death Spray Custom has been busy preparing for the 2014 Tour de France. Many moons again, Cannondale commissioned him to paint a bike for each rider, adorned with their spirit animals, inspired by native American Haida style.

The fleet looks amazing, so head over to Death Spray Custom to see each rider’s bike! Brakethrough did a great job documenting these bikes.

I could give two shits about “spy” or “leaked” product shots. Personally, I feel like when a product is ready for public consumption, it’ll be posted in reputable sources but seeing this on Tracko got me stoked on production-level track bikes.

The “rumor” has it that this’ll be hitting the boards soon. See more on this Cannondale fan page on Facebook.

If only it was still made in the USA.

The Necronomicog knows no boundaries when it comes to two-wheeled sacrifice and as alluded earlier, this insane Cannondale track bike served for plenty of entertainment on my last night in Los Angeles. Of course, Kyle’s film photos do this icon of American aluminum track bikes justice. See more at Kyle’s Flickr!

I’m still going through all the madness from Los Angeles. This one in particular came as a last minute surprise. Luka’s Cannondale track. Pristine condition. He even has the original wheels at home. As always, more on this to come!

Of all the places in the world, who would think that Helsinki would have such love for the Cannondale track? The local owners had an impromptu meetup over the weekend at their velodrome and Kim shot a bunch of photos. Head over to his Flickr and check the rest out.

Hailing from Finland, this green Cannondale track is sure to get your mouth watering. Especially with photos from Kim! See more great shots at his Flickr!

Most builders will tell you that a bike has the best proportions around 54-56cm in size. Yamaguchi will tell you that a 49cm bike will bring all frame design problems to the forefront. Modern cycling tells you that the tighter, more compact the frame is, the stiffer, lighter and most importantly, pro it is. All that applies here. Is Arik short? Or just going for that über pro look? Check out more at Tracko’s Flickr.

The blues of this Cannondale track bike really compliment the Autumn vibes in the photo. Brenton, once again with the superb composition. Love this man.

Ippe’s Cannondale track might annoy the purists but having just put a basket on my Icarus, I can say that it’s awfully nice to not have to shlep around a backpack anymore. See more of this beauty at Cyclonesia.

Evan’s back in Portland, where he bumped into Matchew on the street, outside Stumptown coffee. I like candid portraits and couldn’t pass this one up. Fast ‘n Loose!

Brenton Salo is the king of photographing bicycle reflections. It’s gotta be a contextual thing since the Pacific Northwest is always wet. This Cannondale portrait is pretty rad and I’m guessing it’s Patrick’s from PC? Check out more at Brenton’s blog.

Matt, Jerome and Chas are the Cannondale crew from Portland. I partied so hard with these guys last week and I completely blanked on taking their portrait. Luckily, Damian got one outside of PushBike.
