on a section of the cannondale website they specifically state do not powdercoat the frames....must be a reason for this

I can't compete with your knowledge, but obviously you're saying I'm not a real man, otherwise I would have proved it by breaking my Rocky Mountain long since!Mickey":2nt1a44g said:There isn't framebuilder worth his salt that sold anyone a scandium frame with a straight face without making it very clear up front that they were building you a disposable one or two season frame. To have the same overall service life as a 7005 frame a sc7000 frame needs to be as heavy or heavier due to the brittleness of the material.
