About Cannondale:
It’s been almost 50 years since a few dreamers started a little company in a loft above a pickle factory and changed cycling. Cannondale started out making tents, panniers and outdoor gear, but there was always a special feeling that has endured to this day. An unshakeable belief that there’s ALWAYS a better way, it’s what drove Cannondale to make bikes out of oversized aluminum, or to make a crazy single-sided fork, or rethink the basics of how a crank connects with a frame. It’s been an amazing journey, with more amazing bikes than you can shake a spoke at.
