It's been talked about as a concept bike for a while, now Cannodale have seen fit to release the first run of the 'On Bike'.
Wow.
Pretty much sums it up. Aside from the unique styling (which you'll either love or hate), this bike is revolutionary. Here's the blurb:
"The ON makes use of the “System Integrated ChainCase Technology”, where the chain case is a single sided, fully enclosed,structural part of the bike frame. This results in a maintenance free, cleanand efficient drive system with 9 speed internal gears and disc brakes.The chain case structure is machined from billet, making the structureextremely stiff yet light at the same time. Cables are internal in the frameand the tube shaping is edgy and aggressive..."
Forget 'edgy and aggressive' tube shaping or even the stupidly high On Bike Spec, if this thing's drive system is really no maintenance, say hello to the future of hybrid bikes.
The futures not cheap at £3999, nor very available as they're only making 99 in medium and large sizes. If you are the right size, have the money and would like to own a piece of history, let us know very quickly.
