    Pro Bike: Corey Williams
    Typically, we see pro riders testing the highest of high-end bikes this time of year. However, at Sunday's Philadelphia International Cycling Classic, some of the Incycle-Cannondale riders rode a prototype aluminum Cannondale frame. We were able to catch one of the new bikes, which belongs to Corey Williams. The prototype sports fully-internal cable routing and what looks to be updated fork from what the CAAD10 currently has.

    The most noticeable update to the Cannondale prototype is the full internal cable routing, which will be a drawback in the eyes of many when compared to the CAAD10 Force Racing Edition’s external cable routing. The current disc versions of the CAAD10 use internal cable routing, though the routing on this prototype differs slightly. Photo: Casey B. Gibson | www.cbgphoto.com

    The rear derailleur cable exits the back of the chain stay, goes straight over the top dropout, and then enters the cable housing to the derailleur. It’s a strange way to run the cable, but looks to give the cable a good line without having to use an excessive amount of cable housing. Photo: Casey B. Gibson | www.cbgphoto.com

    Williams runs an inline barrel adjuster, like most, to get just the right amount of cable tension on his front derailleur. Photo: Casey B. Gibson | www.cbgphoto.com

    The fork on the prototype is not the same as on the CAAD10; it looks similar to the current Cannondale SuperSix Evo fork. Photo: Casey B. Gibson | www.cbgphoto.com

    A small port on the down tube would be for an electronic wire leaving the A junction box and traveling to the B junction box. It’s drilled up higher than the rear derailleur cable hole, as the electronic wires don’t need the extra room for smooth cable actuation, but instead need to be close to the rear brake cable port for a cleaner looking build.
