SOPHISTICATED VERSATILITY - NEW 2008 PRODUCT

We are excited to introduce the all-new Cadent FT Series, the most sophisticated performance hybrid line we have made. Bridging the gap between road and hybrid, the Cadent FT Series features our Re²P (Relaxed, Ergonomic, Effective Positioning) geometry, which improves comfort without sacrificing performance, and we have equipped all the FT models with flat handle bars for added stability.

Our Cadent FT line invites an array of riding styles; it's designed around the rider who wants the nimble handling and speed of a road bike but doesn’t want to be hunched over or feel unstable while riding on drop bars. The FT line is user friendly, with a frame design that is quick and peppy for weekly interval training, nimble and stable for year-round commuting, comfortable and efficient for weekend century rides, and relaxed for a casual afternoon of trail riding with the family.

The Cadent FT line comes in four models: Cadent FC (C=Carbon), Cadent FT3, Cadent FT2, and Cadent FT1 (men’s and women’s).

I just bought (a few hours ago) the FT1. I can't wait to ride it. It is exactly what I was looking for!

My bike squeaks too. What is that?

Matthew (Sg) said...

Bought the FT01. Everythings was smooth and good except for the squeaking noise coming from the front stem/ fork. Toeing in of brake pads and tightening of nuts and screws doesnt help! Anybody has a similar problem and found a solution??

Are your brakes rubbing?
