I will soon be in the market for a rolling chassis and am considering the dale. The Cannondale frame and related components seem to have less problems than those of other manufacturers. Also, its unique aluminum construction is an added benefit. Are there any weak points I should look at (A-arms, mounting points, axle, etc.). Also, how much difference is there between a Cannibal, a Speed, and a Moto rolling chassis? How much can I expect to pay in the Fall/Winter for a Moto (minus the engine, exhaust, electrical, efi)?

 

There is no difference in the frame between all models, although the moto does have a different suspension.
I am yet to hear of a bike for sale yet without the motor and trans.

 

THEBOTTOM MOTOR MOUNT BY THE BATTERY SEEMS TO BE A WEAK SPOT.IF YOUR A GOOD JUMPER AND DONT CASE JUMPS ITS OK .

 

On ebay their are 3 frames for sale, one is repaired, but the other two are in excellent shape.

 

I have one also, PM if interested. Thanks!
