We have come up with a quick release seat latch for the Cannondales. This is an easy to install latch without the removal of the stock seat posts.
The kit retails for $39.95 or $37.95 with the Cannondaleriders discount.
Here are a few of the steps for the install:

step 1: This one explains itself!
