Here is what the plastic would have looked like....

Looks like I'm not the only lunchtime user!

One hitch I see is that it looks like the cross braces would have to be tossed or significantly modified.

Also, I'd be really surprised if Brad doesn't already have a carbon axle. How many were actually made? I'm thinking I've heard of 2 owners, maybe a third.

I've heard that there were 2. I thought USAMoto had one.

I have never seen that pic before.

I knew the 04 plastic looked like that, however the pics were never shown from the rear of the bike. It looks like they addressed the tank width concern and it appears to be MUCH thinner in that area where your knees spend a lot of time when hanging off the side.

Anymore cool pics Paul?

I have some old pics from back in the day. I'm not sure if you can see these or not....

Awesome pics, I guess that Natalie pic is before he got hurt and sued the **** out of the company.

I am looking for clear pics of the 1st prototype "Monica" with the black plastics and fox rezzy shocks. That plastic was awesome.

Also can you tell me the reasoning why the rear shock angle on the ATV's was designed so steep compared to anything else out there?

He sure did, broke his neck or back in testing

Those are great pics. What I want to know is why Cannondale scrapped the Monica plastic and decided on what we have now. I like the Monica plastic better. I also see a piece of the frame that is not there now on the Monica quad. That looks a little like what Can-Am is doing now.
