Looks like a Trek seat tube, a Serotta ST stay and a Colnago fork. A lovable mutt indeed.

Made in Bedford or Bejing? It would not surprise me to see the new "group" that owns C'dale farm this out to China. It's all about filling a hot market nich to round out the bottom line...

I really don't mean to be naysayer here, and I apologize to all, but I for one am tired of the everything carbon / everything black fad. I remember C'dale from the old days, I still have my first pair of panniers and seat packs from '74 or '75?

Just had one built up for the regional rep at my LBS......was gone before I laid eyes on it. New for 2006 is an integrated SRM powermeter(!!!!) and some minor changes.

Yeehaw - I kinda thought maybe it was farmed out. Not that that is bad, but another "made in pa" product, where I'm from, gone offshore to be mfg. to please a companies bottom line. Hey, maybe it's a great design made by the best fabricators and it's the best bike in the world. It's just that I remember C'dale products bearing a sticker made in pa. I hope this carbon frame is not the first to be taken offshore, with the aluminum ones to follow.
