Out of curiosity, I just checked the website. I couldn't find
anything. But everyone knows that every Cannondale uses a 27.2 post.
And the fder is almost certainly probably 31.8 or so.

Those words kinda, sorta, probably, I'm sure, positvely do not belong together
like that.

This is a wonderful setup for a wisecrack; I need more coffee, however.

Alex, Sometimes its best to keep silent, otherwise it removes all doubt
bout your abilites. Isnt the tech board here to help others? If i have
an answer to anyone's Q i would be glad to share, and if i dont i would
hope to learn something, instead of posting a comment that has no value.

I think you are correct, but posting comments that have no value, is a
regular occurence.

That wasn't a commnent. I was pointing you to the obvious source of the
infomation you were looking for. A commnet would have been 'gee that was
dumb of you to buy a bike and not ask about the size of the parts you need'.
Another comment could have been 'don't you know how to measure?'. But I
didn't think the comments would have been very helpful.

I think you misused "non-valuative." I don't think it has anything to
do with value in the sense of wothiness or importance. Three minutes
of Google research indicates that the word usually means "expressive of
values" or "quantitative."
I think you should have used "valueless."

-Vee (is for Value)

Simple answer(s) would be sufficient
Yes, here is the dimension ......
NO, (wait and learn something)

keep it goin and reveal more of yourself.....

My experience is that if you write them at
they are prompt and helpful in their responses.

Let me get this right, you're saying that if you have a question about
a particular frame, the best place to get answers is to go straight to
the source and ask the customer service folks at the manufacturer???

Gosh, I wonder why the OP didn't think of that?????

Nah, he just to post a stupid question on RBT and then express shock
that he caught crap for it.

"there are no stupid questions, just questions asked by stupid people"

Sorry for not being more 'valuative'

Ah, so you're just a troll who doesn't like the actual useful responses.

It saves time.

Original post - Nov. 16.

Suggestion to call the dealer - Nov. 17.

Complete response from a fellow CAAD 8er - Nov. 21.

Had you acted upon Mr. Rodriguez's advice and called the dealer when it
was suggested, you would have (presumably...unless you were kept on
hold for a *long* time) had your answer with four days to spare.
