Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel LAB71

Ludwig Döhl No more excuses - the Scalpel LAB71 is a total marathon and cross-country beast. Even marathon world champion Henrique Avancini thinks so. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. When viewing the 135 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Racebikes in this price range. Cannondale is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Cannondale is behind its products.
