A bicycle of course. Well that’s what Cannondale reckon anyway, although sadly there’s a disappointing lack of afterburners or aerofoils on their new Concept Stealth bike, on show at Eurobike last week. Whatever, it is certainly different, and it does have some of the “edgy” design elements of both the Lamborghini Reventón and the Stealth fighter from which Cannondale’s designers took their inspiration. Well, it’s got a lot of edges, which to be fair is what Cannondale mean. The flat edges on the Stealth Fighter help it stay invisible to radar, we’re guessing that any radar invisibility benefits on the Cannondale are going to be spoilt by not-so-radar-invisible rider sitting on it, but you never know… 
Aside from the cutting edge (there I go again) frame the Concept Stealth also features some fairly eye-catching componentry for a flat bar commuter bike. The mono blade fork is something of a signature item for Cannondale, it features on many of their mountain bikes and on the BadBoy street bike, as do disc brakes, but the integrated stem and seat collar are pretty unique features – certainly on a bike of this type. The display bike at Eurobike was claimed to weigh a fairly feathery 8.6Kg (18.9lb) and it was a decent sized frame too. So it should probably give a Lambo a run for its money on city streets too. We look forward to riding one.
What do you get when you cross a stealth fighter with Lamborghini?

@SVXY Again, it doesn't say that riding three or more abreast is inconsiderate. That's just your opinion, which counts for nothing.
Black bike in a black room with minimal lighting. Marketing people eh?
That’s honestly the best 32” bike I’ve seen yet. Avona’s road bike is also beautiful except for the tall stack height, if they ever release a race bike I’m in.
32 inch wheels are here to stay until the next new wonder product hits the market...
@Gd29 Redshift regularly have sales with 25% off, so you should be able to pick them up for under £40 at some point
@SVXY Yet again it's highly impressive how are you know the exact circumstances of this incident, now down to the exact type of footwear Ms.Tanton was sporting at the time. There are numerous types of all-terrain/hiking sandals that have far better grip than a standard pair of trainers. And once again do explain how having shoes without gaps in the uppers would have prevented Dick from driving straight into her from behind? No actually, don't bother.
@SVXY Of course because cycling on a 60mph road is far more dangerous than cycling in a 30mph zone and you need footwear with the strongest grip to react quicker if needed
@SVXY So sandals are permissible footwear for cycling if you're riding at 15 mph in a 30 mph zone but they are not permissible footwear for cycling if you are riding at 15 mph in a 60 mph zone? I'm afraid this is how trolls always give themselves away because clearly no human being with the capacity to operate a computer with sufficient adroitness to post a reply could genuinely be that stupid.
mdavidford It says you can ride 2 abreast and must have consideration for other road users. So if you ride three or more abreast you could be prosecuted for careless cycling with your inconsideration for other road users under the highway code used as evidence by the CPS
I’ve got a G-Line. I quite like the look of some of that bling. I can’t imagine any of it will be cheap though. :( It’s already quite an expensive bike.

I like it
That looks remarkable, like a TT bike at the front end. I am a huge fan of the heavily styled look and the enormous effort that’s gone into it. But surely this is a “pure” concept bike. No-one is actually going to want the minor performance benefits in an overly-expensive (NB not necessarily overpriced) commuting bike are they?
re: i like it
yes, the front end reminded me of the BMC Time Machine and the new Argon 18 TT bike. Be interesting to know whether this one is a goer – think I’ll ask. As to whether anybody would pay? S’pose that depends how high the price is, but I remember when Cannondale brought in the BadBoy Ultra a few years back, at what seemed an outrageous price at the time, they didn’t seem to have any trouble shifting them. And these days commuting bikes there is much more of a market for high end commuter bikes. Fair dos though the BadBoy Ultralite was a very versatile machine
