Here it is, the inevitable all carbon Cannondale.

Wondering if Serotta will make an all carbon frame
in the future as well...

We asked him that when he came to our LBS last year. He said that most likely no. He would have an issue with the seat tube being carbon, in that if carbon, he would be leary of its integrity, having to clamp the front deraileur onto it - would much rather have it clamping on Ti. Plus, he said there is virtually no noticible difference in the ride with a carbon seat tube as opposed to Ti. If the Ti comes up high enough on the seat tube to secure the FD clamp, with the rest being Carbon up to the top tube, there would be no real weight savings, well at least not enough to matter.
