Cannondale OnBike: Symmetry Is Overrated

Good luck getting one at $6,150 with only 250 produced:

From Gizmodo:

“The simple, asymmetry of the limited edition Cannondale OnBike is not the only thing that makes it so striking. You won’t spot a chain or (much) external wiring. And the frame itself…is that…squared?

Cannondale’s OnBike not only sticks the front forks to one side (a trick that offroad bikes have used for a while, but is still qualitatively awesome)—the gear box, balanced to the opposite side, functions as part of the frame, attaching the whole rear wheel on its own.

From the top down, the bike would look like one, long diagonal line machined from a single block of metal.

Cables are hidden inside the angular, aluminum frame. And the SRAM i-MOTION 9-speed hub gear and chain are tucked safely inside a maintenance-free (really?) box. You can appreciate the disc brakes, Octopus pedals, and Schwalbe Kojak Bad Boy tires—I’m just relieved to see it only comes in black.”
