Any Cannondale dealers here?

I have a funny question. I’m looking for a very specific bike and my local shops can’t find it online or in their system. Like it took 15 minutes before I told him to just google it before he could even find it on the website.

It’s a Synapse Neo EQ. I really want to get it for my wife’s commutes. It’s got all the lights and fenders ready to go.

I see it in stock in the Uk at evan’s cycle but have had no luck with a local dealer yet. Is there any way to check the country inventory to see if I can get it?

Announced but not yet available in the US market, according to my sources.

We were told to expect nothing from Cdale until September. Nothing.

30/60/90 days is a common refrain these days in the biz, get used to the concept as applied to availability

I would seriously doubt that an overseas vendor has actual access to product when no one in the world does, either. There's no magic in these crazy times

Something to be aware of: Cannondale releases region specific models, especially with their ebikes.

There’s a possibility that model will never be sold at a US dealer.

Unless you heard specific US availability somewhere, your waiting may be for naught.

It’s on the US site, would they really put it there and never intend to send it here?

Just stating what I’ve experienced, wasn’t looking to confuse things.

I’d venture to guess the obvious: if it’s on the US site, it’s a US market bike.
