只是還是有人獨鍾鋼管、鈦管乃至於鋁管的車架
不同的材料有騎不同的特性,如果純用競賽和效率的觀點來看,或許會有優劣之分。
但是如果用騎乘感受的觀點來看,其他種車架也都有擁有的價值
小弟對這隻早負盛名的鋁合金車架十分的好奇,只是無奈認識的車主都比我高很多
目前還無緣試乘,喜歡的話,應該會想辦法擁有一隻的。
至於CANNONDALE CAAD 9 與 Giant ADV3的選擇問題
我想會放在一起比,應該是因為定價相仿(折扣應該很難想仿)以及變速系統相彷
騎乘效率和競賽表現上我想很難去評定,如果有車友用同一輪組長期交叉測試然後公佈成績,或許還有騎參考價值
所以挑選的基準應該就是在騎乘感受上的喜好了
CAAD 9雖然從未登上環法舞台,09的ADV車架一樣也沒有^ ^
尊重彼此的價值觀
全車含卡踏 及兩個水壺架 共7.6公斤
小弟目前有2007年GIANT OCR C1 及2008年CAAD9.
若是準備騎有爬山的路線 我會騎CAAD9出門.
騎CAAD9踩踏的感覺很紮實 但是腿變軟(車比人強)
騎OCR C1平路感覺很舒服,但是覺得車變軟 ,上坡很費力, 車子會吸震順便大盤踩下去的力量也不知到吸到哪去了.

車架終身保固跟
只保固五年差別很大
看了Cannondale首頁的保固條款(只有2005年的,應該是延用~)
http://www.cannondale.com/asset/iu_files/techcenter/2005_cannondale_limited_warranty_supplement_en.pdf
1) 看起來只保固材料與人工製造上的瑕疵,而且只對第一任車主保固。也就是二手車不保固。
Cannondale frames (except freeride, see below) are warranted by Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, 16 Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT 06801 against manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime of the original owner.
2) 原廠配件同樣只保固材料與人工製造上的瑕疵,一年保固。
Components: All other components, including HeadShok forks, suspension parts, frame fixtures and finishes (paint and decals) are warranted against manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of original retail purchase.
3) 保固條款:只對首任車主,二手車主無效。
TERMS OF WARRANTY:
This warranty is not meant to suggest or imply that the bicycle cannot be broken or will last forever. It does mean that the bicycle is covered subject to the terms of the warranty.
This warranty applies only to the original owner of a Cannondale bicycle and is not transferable to subsequent owners.
4) 水貨的話,保固要寄回同一大陸的經銷商(跟美國經銷商買的就寄回美國,香港就寄到香港)。
For any warranty claim to be considered, the bicycle must be brought in to an Authorized Cannondale Bicycle Retailer on the same continent on which the bicycle was purchased. The bicycle must be in assembled condition and accompanied by the original, dated sales receipt for the bicycle. (Be sure to keep your receipt in a safe place.)
This warranty applies only to bicycles purchased in fully assembled and adjusted condition from Authorized Cannondale Retailers or other outlets specifically authorized by Cannondale to distribute Cannondale bicycles.
5) 重點來了:過度使用、疏忽、不適當地維修、不適當的保養、變更、修改、意外或不正常、過度或不適當的使用,保固無效。正常磨損造成的損壞,包括材料疲勞,並不包含在保固內。巴拉巴拉…
This warranty is void if the bicycle is subjected to abuse, neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance, alteration, modification, an accident or other abnormal, excessive, or improper use.
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including the results of fatigue, is not covered. Fatigue damage is a symptom of the frame being worn out through normal use. It is one kind of normal wear and tear, and it is the owner’s responsibility to inspect his/her bicycle. See Section 5. and D. of your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual 118382.PDF.
所以要談到終身保固好像還真的是蠻難的~
這跟五年保固好像沒什麼差別~
因為騎了五年的愛車,車架上有什麼製造上的瑕疵應該都已看光光了…
要換的話,第一年早就換了。
或許留著瑕疵車,以後換回新車架也是另一個想法…

不過車買來就是要騎,大廠的車架當然比較有保障囉~
