|   Cannondale's advertisement campaign about minimum weight | palmix
Jul 12, 2003 11:38 AM | | As probably already you know, in today's TdF stage the Saeco-Cannondale team changed the color of their jerseys as a way to attract attention to their demand to UCI for reducing the minimum required weight (6.8 Kg.) of racing bicycles.
At this page http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/innovation/legalize.html we can read: "But our Swiss friends have recently passed a ruling which limits a road bike's weight for competition..."
Imagine what would be that minimum weight if one of those "Swiss friends" would be... yes: you guessed it: Nino!!
Have fun :) |

Jul 13, 2003 12:55 PM | | that was no more than another marketing gag.
other years Mario Cipollini had dresses that weren`t allowed which secure Cannondale some good press.now the whole team wore some black and white dresses and got punished by the cycling federation...once more a marketing gag because the audience is here and there`s lots of talk about during the TdF.
at least the Cannondale roadbikes aren`t as stupid designed as the bikes oops-now this will start a discussion:)) but that`s what i think of those MTBs. |

Jul 13, 2003 5:14 PM | | The reason is the rider of the moment. As long as the bike doesn't fall apart it doesn't really matter for who you're riding. |

Jul 13, 2003 8:04 PM | | I thought I'd post this for the other curious gearheads here even though it weights about 260 pounds.
It began as a X440S and she's a blast. It's a shame it tanked the company, the bikes just needed more time and cost management. |
