Local Cannondale dealer told me today that he's expecting the 2005's in
around late August or something like that -- at the very least, he'll
have specs and pricing by then.
I don't know if most bike manufacturers release their model years at the
same time like car manufacturers do, but it would make sense if they did
(don't want competitors getting the jump on them and all that).
