Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel Carbon LTD

Ludwig Döhl No more excuses - the Scalpel Carbon LTD is a total marathon and cross-country beast. Even marathon world champion Henrique Avancini thinks so. Thanks to a moderate 68 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
