The bicycles were sold in various colors.
Hazard
The frames on some of these bicycles have been improperly manufactured, causing too much of the thickest portion of the downtube to be removed. This could cause the frame to break during use, resulting in falls and serious injury to riders.
Remedy
Consumers should stop riding these bicycles immediately and contact their local Cannondale retailer for a free inspection of their bicycle frame. Consumers with improperly manufactured frames will have a free replacement frame installed.
Incidents and injuries
Cannondale has received three reports of frames breaking. One minor injury was reported.
