  • Jackknife 2.0?

    Earlier this afternoon, Cyclelicious posted about a Cannondale prototype from Eurobike that looks a lot like a chain drive version of the foldable Jackknife concept bike.

  • Cannondale Jackknife at Fiets Rai

    I first posted renderings of the student designed Cannondale Jackknife concept bike back in January of 2006.

I am glad to hear it. I first…

  • An urban bike concept from Cannondale

    Like the Jackknife design, which I have posted before, this is a commuter bike concept from a graduate student at Elisava Design School in Barcelona. Unlike the Jackknife, which relies on future technology to work, Cristian Ciuraneta Catalan designed a bike that is based on current bicycle technology. This bike features mountain bike geometry and…

Torgny Fjeldskaar has been promoted to global director of industrial design at Cannondale after about 3 years with the company. The Synapse, SystemSix, and various European urban bikes are listed as some of his contributions so…
