Yeah, I've heard that about the old Cannondales.

However, they've come-up with something they call the "SAVE" frame, which allows the rear frame to flex (somewhat) vertically to absorb shock, but retains side-to-side rigidity (link). Based on what I've been reading in the bike forums, as well as from speaking with a couple people that have this, the consensus seems to be "thumbs up"....

I can't afford carbon Bill, nor am I into this enough to justify the expense. The SAVE frame seems to offer some of the benefits of carbon (smoother ride, lighter weight than steel) without having to shell-out the cash....

Of course, I'll take one for a lengthy test ride (30-40 miles) before I plunk down the money, should I ever be so lucky to find myself with some "extra cash"....
