Cannondale have their headquarters here in Connecticut. The dealers all complain that Cannondale doesn't treat them well.

The company that seems to do many things well is Specialized. I find them innovative and reliable.

10-speed or better and get toe clips, but much of the rest is so much
nonsense.


It is funny to see how though can differ on the other side of the pond. I
personally find the US brand first class. For aluminum bikes, nothing beats a
pre-Trek Klein; titanium, it's a Seven or a Merlin you got to have; carbon it's
a Kestrel you gotta have.


I'm more a stiff and light weight person so I own a Klein and a Cannondale :)
