I received my Scalpel 29 Carbon 2 in August 2012 - It's an amazing bike.
Whilst training last week I've suffered a frame failure at the drive side chainstay - broken right through.
I can't imagine that I broke the bike that ride, perhaps there was a crack already I hadnt noticed where the frame had been covered by a chainstay protector... I don't know.
Regardless - Cannondale will not honor the warranty on this break - it does look pretty similar to the failure posted by SuperSlow though.

A friend of mine has the same problem, the back swimg arm on his scalpel carbon 2 broke last september 2013 and he's still waiting for a replacement, i think thats so ridiculous. I my self have a cannondale f29 aluminum and i too afraid to buy a carbon frame from them.
If any of you can help us whit this matter we would greatly appreciate it.
Hi there. Sorry to reply to an old thread but i'm looking for a very random Scalpel part. I have uploaded a picture of the part I'm looking for. Hopefully someone has one laying around that I can purchase. Do you have a damaged rear triangle and might have one laying around.
Thanks in advance.
I too needed a new bridge a while back, and Cdale lead time was two months. That site is also where I found mine, and is the ONLY place I could find it 6 mos ago. Although they only had white which looks funny on my ultimate, it did get from Germany to Texas in 10 days, was so happy to get the bike back on the trail.
could you please inform me if your cannodale frame was replacement with seat tube broken or Seat stay ?
There are here people with the same problem.
Cannodale does not want to replace my frame
I would like request your expertise to help me on this .
Thank you and Regards
