[I like Skol]

What can I say?...…..

 

[Rooster1]

yes please

 

[AndyRM]

Love the frame, but not the clearances or routing.

 

[Shortandcrisp]

Oh - they’ve gone and made it look just like every other aero road bike on the market. What a shame.

Apply some Planet X stickers or similar and nobody would know the difference! Not sure if that is complimentary to Planet X or bad for Cannondale?

Shame, I'm a bit of a cannon ball fan but jury is out on that one.

It was going so well until...... BB30

There’s many a happy BB30 rider out there. They’re not all problematic.

I dont disagree. My experiences of them will ensure I am highly unlikely (never, say never) to own another bike with them fitted.

that'll look lush with a carradice on the back.

I have three PF30 bikes. Ok, they are slightly different to BB30, but I haven’t experienced any issues with them after riding in all weather types.

Opinion is all shaped on personal experience, so you clearly have a different view based previous issues.

What are the slight differences you notice?

What happens if two bikes, both system sixes, are launched in the same year.... Are they both defined as 2019 bikes, even though one might be newer?

Pretty much the obvious really. BB30 bearings press straight into the frame. PF30 are pressed into a cup, which is more often plastic but can be metal, with the whole thing pressed into the frame.
