Pretty funky design by Cannondale. It is nice to see utility being designed into new U.S. bikes.

That's rad. Throwback to the 1800s up front, ultra space age in the rear... :mrgreen:

i can dig it, but if the "dutchess" name sticks, i see alot of guys not buying it.

That's the only part I like. :mrgreen:

Pretty cool. Is there a shaft drive in there? Or belt perhaps?
