I don't know, my friend has a Cannondale Scapel and has broken that frame along with cracking his Cannondale road frame. Both were purchased from LBS who is a Cannondale dealer. I believe all carbon frames are subject to breaking. That's the argument for some for purchasing a Chinese frame, it's disposable if you break it and didn't spend $2000-$3000 on a bare frame
and are way stiffer.
Serious question folks, not being sarcastic, I just really want to know. Does stiffness automatically equates to durability?
That's because generic chinese carbon is bad and unreliable. That is probably a generic carbon frame and not a real Cannondale. (Disclaimer - the previous comment is dripping with sarcasm)
