OK, Now that I have decided My next 29er will be the ultra-affordable Redline (deposit already placed) I am now planning for a 29er with gears (other than putting them on my KM). I was at my LBS to check out Orbeas, it's a nice bike, but didn't get that cool feeling from it that I need to drop $1800++ on it. My LBS also carries Cannondales, and It seems to me it would be way easy for C'dale to do a 29er lefty , solving the need to deal with other MFG's for forks. So after leaving the shop I went home and was websurfing on C'dales site and found a Blog for Brad (Brad is teir Nickname for their Big headed dude on their logo's)
one of the Blogs is called "Ask Brad" so I did, and got a response in less than 24 hours (during a weekend to boot) My question and "Brads" response follows........
Brad, you Big head bugger, I have a question that keeps me up at night, I want a Cannondale, and I want it with a Lefty, but I also want it with 29" Wheels, Is it possible for my Dream to become a reality? Keep up the great designs......

Hey Robb, Wish I could give you a yes/no answer, but it's a question that is on the minds of many around here so, quite frankly, there is no answer yet. Here's what I will do, I'm going to pass you wish onto our Product Development Manager.... can't hurt! Cross your fingers. It's a small market but it seems that the interest is growing. Anyone else want to chime in with their thoughts? Thanks for droppin' in Robb. BRAD
So since they asked if anyone else wants to Chime in heres your Chance
