Same stupid internal routing in the Disc, compounded by a 25.4mm seatpost >>>>>>>>>>

I've read several idiotic articles by Dan Cavallari, the author. Velonews is completely inconsistent and a burnt out husk of publication these days. The article title is... so very daft. Cannondale has been producing aluminum frames for how long? That headline might have been timely in 1994.

Could this be an official 2017 model?

Another 2017 model.

This is from a Japenese shop's Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHyDvatjLCu/?tagged=caad12

This particular colour might be a Japanese market option only. (Like the yellow 105-equipped model in 2016). But it could also be international like the black and white 105-equipped model which was available in all regions.

And some more 2017 models.

From another Japanese Instagram, so possibly Japan-only models. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHzLWZKg0FJ/?tagged=caad12

Nice! Do you have more pictures from that catalogue?

Hollowgram wheels. Does that imply carbon, or do Cannondale also make aluminium wheels?

I found some more pictures of 2017 CAAD12 and other models on facebook.

OT, but some Supersix are looking quite nice too.

My co-worker already bought this. Nice bike but if I were him, I will choose another carbon bike :(

The hollowgram wheels are carbon. It's a stunning bike.

Personally I love the 2016 dura ace disc colour scheme! None of these beat it. I was so tempted by it! Kept refusing a test ride at the lbs because I know I would have put a deposit down afterwards!!

That black Supersix with the red stripes is looking damn good though!!!

There's a sticker on the rim that says Stans NoTubes, so it could well be them.

Anyone have pictures or information of the upcoming women specific CAAD12 models for 2017. I can only find this one online:
https://it.ciclimattio.com/s/cannondale/cannondale-caad12-women's-105-2017/?id=15564 but was interested in what options were available for a bike for the gf.

thanks!

I am looking for new wheels for my caad12. Does anybody have experience with wide carbon clinchers like Zipp 404 NSW or Enve SES? In the front it seems to be no issue. But how about tyre clearance in the rear?

Farsports 58x28mm seem to be a modern and cheap option. Tyres are Specialized Turbo Cottons in 26.
