Good points raised, especially the pollution aspect. I do not know how Cannondale are regarded in the U.S. but in the U.K. it is a premium brand and much respected. I do know that we pay in pounds sterling what you guys pay in dollars. My Silk Road R4000 Saeco Paris-Roubaix replica with Spinergys should have cost circa œ3,400, which makes it an expensive bit of kit. There is some perceived value in the brand and I suppose that they are "milking" the name.

I suppose a counter argument might be that if outdoor enthusiasts are going to spend their money on motorcycles would we prefer it to be a Cannondale rather than a Honda, etc. I don't know the answer to that one.
