Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel Hi-MOD Ultimate

Ludwig Döhl No more excuses - the Scalpel Hi-MOD Ultimate 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. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
