Cannondale Road Bikes

Cannondale bicycles are the elite bikes manufactured in the United States.

The Cannondale Bicycle Corporation is a major American bicycle manufacturer, headquartered in Bethel, Connecticut USA with manufacturing in Bedford, Pennsylvania USA.

Which is one of the things I like about them, they are "Made in the USA".

The company was founded in 1971 by Joe Montgomery to manufacture backpacks and bags for camping and later bicycle trailers for bicycle touring.

Today, Cannondale produces many different types of high-end bicycles, hand made in USA, specializing in aluminum (rather than steel, titanium or carbon fiber) frames , a technology in which they were pioneers.

The name of the company was taken from the Cannondale Metro North train station in Wilton, Connecticut.

See how they build Cannondale bicycles here, and why they are the top of the line in bicycles.
