A History of the Cannondale Bad Boy in PDF form

urban_badboy
I am a big fan of Cannondale's Bad Boy line, and I have been since they hit back in 199X(?).  Sure, they're a bit on the over-priced side, and there's a lot of style over substance (arguably) but they're great to ride and they look awesome.  
I finally managed to purchase a brand spanking new 2007 Cannondale Bad Boy Ultra that I will likely never shut up about and will nurse until at least 2016.  It has not been a letdown.  
The Bad Boy line is interesting for a couple of reasons; The marketing is geared towards urban hipsters who aren't into Dutch Bikes (so, like, me).  And this leads to all sorts of interesting variations on the Bad Boy theme.
So I'm trying to document these variations from Cannondale's site.  Here are the models listed from 2001 to 2009 from Cannondale's accessible archives (omitting I think 2004-2006, I can't get to those) from the North American market and some from Europe.  

Note: Europe seems to get some cool cool variations.

  1. I am also a fan of the Bad Boy. Very few Hybrid/Commuters are as sexy as this Stealth Rocket. Mine is built up with ALL lightweight MTB race components, including a 1430g 29er/700c wheelset. My 2001 BBU weighs a paltry 18.87 pounds/8.55kg. Do you know if a CAAD5 version of this bike was made....2003?
