Just stumbled across this thread about the broken Scalpel 29er bridge. I'm really hoping to keep my kiddo's 2015 Scalpel 29er going this year (NICA racing). He has the same cracked bridge. I know UtahJoe gave up his last one, but any chance somebody else might have one laying around? 🤞

You have all my parts.
@dominichowes I do not have an extra bridge, but if you have the receipt and are the original owner of the bike, you can file a warranty claim trough your local Cannondale dealer, and they will get you a newer model frame.
Also, loved seeing everyone's scalpel pics! I raced this past weekend and unfortunately went rubber up half way through the day and separated my shoulder (I wish I had a go pro on because I heard it was a pretty epic spill lol). I'll send some pics from before the crash once the race posts them! I should be back out racing in a few months 🙂

oh man, sorry to hear....I hope this parts transfer didnt somehow piss off the bike gods....get well soon!
Thank you brotha. Im pretty sure this one wasn’t the bike gods. I had ridden the loop 4 times before crashing and just hit a bump weird, definitely a user error lol
that happens, I famously crashed and landed on my face/broke my arm in a race...on a trail that I have probably ridden 200 times.
Haha oh god… that makes me feel a bit better

Nooch, hope you feel better soon! And thanks to all who double checked the parts bins. Cheers!
Sorry, I have had several inquires and gave all of mine away over the years. Did you buy the bike new from a shop? they might warranty it...If not and you are really married to that bike....I'd look around for a 2017 or newer frame....they are a nice upgrade from that old first gen scalpel.
Thanks for your answer, yes I bought it new, but I'm living in Ecuador and the distributor does not longer exist, I'm traying to ask to Cannondale USA but the web pages is down at the moment. Lets see, where I can find it thanks
Hi Guys, just in case I found this guy in pinkbike, he says that he is making an aluminum one and is working perfect. check the link for the bridge

The carbon shock clamp failed as many (most?). of them do. If you’ve read this far you know they are unobtainable. It took four prototypes to get the fit perfect. To keep the piece cost down I bought a batch of 20 and had them anodized in black.
