2008 Scalpel 100 Frame Recall Notice
This is why you should stick to a single pivot:
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Cannondale Bicycle Corporation is conducting a recall. U.S. model bicycles subject to recall are:
2008 Scalpel Frameset
2008 Scalpel Team Bicycle
2008 Scalpel 1 Bicycle
2008 Scalpel 2 BicycleWe are aware of the serial number of each of the bikes which are subject to recall. In December 2007 we advised each US retailer of all serial numbers that are subject to recall. Cannondale has shipped, or will ship, at no charge to you, a replacement frame to these retailers.
This recall is a result of discovering that the chainstays in these frames may be improperly bonded. There is a risk that the chainstays may separate from the rear dropouts, with risk of an accident or injury. Please do not ride your bike until the frame is replaced.

Are these the frames where the chainstay flexes rather than having a pivot?
Well either way bring on the Cannondale bash posts
Buck:
Yup

Well, of course. Don't you recognise bait when you see it?
hmmmm
I wonder what would happen if Lorrie jumped on one of these Scalpels!?
Surely the bike would just fall apart if "The One who breaks bikes" got within 10m of it.
I let bad luck breakem for me
A recall of 2008 models - is this just a pre-emptive recall by Cannondale because they know they are going to have problems or is their R&D that poor?
There's a couple of things that just look wrong on these bikes, and the flexy chainstay is just one of them.
I had my eye on one of those...
