Cannondale Flash Carbon Ultimate 2010 Mountain Bike
The Cannondale Flash Carbon Ultimate 2010 Mountain Bike features an ultra-efficient, stiff frame. A radically shaped seat tube and top tube junction attribute to this. The Cannondale Flash Carbon Ultimate 2010 Mountain Bike also uses continuous-fiber technology, allowing the carbon fiber orientation to run uninterrupted throughout the length of the frame. This makes for a very stiff frame with minimal weight. A Lefty Speed Carbon SL fork takes care of the front end, with DT Swiss XCR 1.2 Carbon Custom rims and Schwalbe Furious Fred tires. A SRAM XX drivetrain is also used. The Cannondale Flash Carbon Ultimate 2010 Mountain Bike holds a retail price tag of $9,599.

WARNING WARNING, DANGER WILL ROBINSON
THIS FRAME HAS A GIGANTIC DESIGN FLAW WEAKNESS. THE NEW DERAINGEUR HANGER IS SUPER FLIMSY TO PROTECT THE FRAME. HOWEVER A STICK CAN SO EASILY TEAR THE DER OFF AND IT CAN RIDE THE CASSETTE UP AND INTO THE SEATSTAY. THE SEATSTAY AT THIS POINT IS COMPLETELY UJREINFORCED CAUSING A FAILURE OF THE FRAME. SO A HANGER SAVES A $200 der and destroys a 2400 dolllar frame. I still love her but a 1300 crash replacement as the result of a poorly thought out design surely sucks.
