Just popped this up on Singletrack World but thought someone on here might be interested, or at least know someone who is. So apologies for the moderness.
I have ridden this about 20 times and never particularly hard. I have just had to force myself to come to the conclusion that it is too small for me. I'm gutted because it's a lovely bike
According to Cannondale - "The process is simple: 1.) Get on the Scalpel; 2.) Race fast; 3.) Get off the Scalpel; 4.) Get on podium and accept medal. Cannondale's cutting edge technology just received another redesign to keep the winningest frame at the front of the World Cup racing scene. The Zero-Pivot chainstays and monocoque front triangle deliver the premium ride characteristics the Scalpel is known for."
The spec is totally standard - not the Nobby Nics or USE post shown in some of the pics below, and no pedals.
So, it's:
Frame - Scalpel, 100 mm
Fork - Lefty Speed w/ DLR, 110 mm (integrated air)
Rear Shock - FOX Float RPL
Rims - DT Swiss XCR 1.7, 24 hole
Hubs - Cannondale Lefty front, DT Swiss 370 rear
Spokes - DT Swiss Competition
Tyres - Continental Race King, 26 x 2.0"
Pedals - None
Crank - Shimano SLX, 22/32/44
Chain - Shimano 9-speed
Rear Cogs - Shimano HG50, 11-34
Bottom Bracket - Shimano SLX
Front Derailleur - Shimano SLX
Rear Derailleur - SRAM X-9
Shifters - SRAM X-7Trigger
Handlebars - Cannondale C2 Alloy, flat
Stem - Cannondale XC3 Si, 31.8 mm
Headset - Cannondale HeadShok Si
Brakeset - Avid Elixir R, 160/160 mm
Brakelevers - Avid Elixir R
Saddle - Fi'zi:k Nisene Mg
Seat Post - Cannondale C3 2014, Alloy
Grips - Cannondale Morse
It has some scuffs on the decals, I have tried to show these close up below
The size is medium - I am 6' and it is just a little bit too small, although some people think it's fine! It would probably be ok if you were up to 5'11"
