Well, semi-naked. In a Howie-esque move to please the invited IBDs, OEMs and journos at last night’s bash, Cannondale had hired a body-painter (he holds the world record for most bodies painted in five hours) to adorn two young frauleins.
Gatta’s speech was corporate to the core and the crowd didn’t listen in silence.

The Rohloff-equipped commuter bike is almost as sexy as the painted frauleins…
