Early this morning I have been invited to take some pictures of Acong new bike, a Cannondale Flash 4 lefty. Since this is a rare chance for me to see the lefty bike. In fact, this is the first lefty bike in our cycling group.
The lefty shock was handmade in USA with 100 travel as stated in the picture above.
A strange looking lefty steerer bike but the technology has been introduce years ago. I believe the price was not on the affordable side of many mtb kaki.
The red crown looks gorgeous
Straight handle for the race purpose
Having lefty front fork, the choice of changing the wheelset is not many. Not many bicycle shop here carry this type of wheelset unless you make a special order.
This Cannondale Flash 4 frame is made of carbon fiber.

Although many riders choose a full-sus bike or a 29er wheel bike as their choice when upgrading, Acong still choose hard tail.
The Prologo X10 looks good with similar color scheme to the bike. No feedback so far from Acong for the saddle.
The RD that come with the bike was the latest carbon X9 10 speed.
The cockpit was very neat and very straight forward. The red cat eye was a gift from the bike shop.
Sram FD with 2 chain ring crankset all under SRAM latest 10speed groupset.
Acong's Ashima 160 brake rotor
Botak's Ashima Air 160 rotor 85gm only
White Avid Elixir provide enough brake power for the bike.

Acong looks very happy and proud. Although some people may think that the damage was huge, actually Acong did a great score from trading his old bike then bought this new bike. It was said that the total addition was less then what you will pay for the new Fox Talas fork. Congratulation. See you on podium next time. Peace.
