That's such a good idea. Maybe a little heavy for street but I can see it working really good for something.

Wouldn't the top tube length be constantly changing?

The one thing I don't care for is once again, you can only use a Cannondale part on their bike. Since its a system only used by Cannondale, there's no real incentive for other companies to create alternative shocks.

Aside from that, its a reasonably unique idea and it'll be interesting to see if it gets made.

i think it would work better if they found a way of attaching the saddle to a bit of the bike which isnt affected by the travel. Say there was a brace running from the top tube back to the saddle and they attach it to that.

My uncle once caught his dick in a pogo stick.Rolleyes I forsee that the same sort of accident will be happening with this frame on toptube-shagging landings.
I'm not convinced with it tbh

Ouch!!!Eek

I think its a sweet idea but it would be to heavy for street.
It might be perfect for slope style though but im not sure if 3 inchs of travel is enough.
