I would love to see the other side of that bike

Cedric is off Cannondale !

Cedric is off Cannondale so no Gracia this year or next .
Looks like he signed with either Commencal or KTM or some combination of both teams.

This may have something to do with all the big name pro's pulling out of NORBA this year .

 

[BigBadHucker]

The bike is still coming out through, just with a different name?

Where did you hear that they are stopping all production on the bike? I'll have to call cannondale from the shop tommoro, I have a hard time believeing they wont have a downhill frame available this season. Its not like these are mass produced bikes like specialized, stopping production on a bike that they make as they go would be foolish on their part and I have a hard time believing it.

 

[BigBadHucker]

I really doubt that they wills top production. There probaly just gunna change the name if anything bc there in the Cannondale catalog.

and why is that?

 

[Jettj45]

They say on cannondales site that if gracia is not going to ride for them they will just change the name of the bike but still sell them.

 

[free-rider_down-hiller]

Changing the name would be funny because of this

 

[austinb89]

im not to crazy about the color, maybe when there changing the name theyll change the color to. but its still a great bike

 

[jfl]

They should just add an S to the name

Then it would be Gracias--"thank you," according to my high school spanglish teacher.
And if Cannondale picks up J Bender and makes a 14 inch travel version, then it could be called the 'Muchos Gracias'--I always say that to the working gals in Tijuana.

well i cant speak spanish

well i cant speak spanish

i love how the bike is set up in the granny gear.

I think they called the proto the GRIND
(before it became GRACIA.)

My guess is that they are going to call it the GRIND again ?

Hes completely wrong. The bikes are being produced right now, but the name may or may not be changed, they haven't decided yet. Look for them to be out around Late Feb-March.

CG is talking to Commencal, but is not counting out any other options.

and why is that?

like to see if they are running a floating break and what the pivots look like without the chain and everything else in the way

 

[TNC]

There's a floater.

See that floater arm running below the swingarm to the seat stay?
