Aluminum is inherently more brittle than steel or titanium but no where near
as fragile as carbon. Periodic inspection of welds, especially at the bottom
bracket, are well advised. Similar to making sure your brakes work, tires
inflated and QR's tight. Cannondales are well made and well warranted.
You'll can get years enjoyment from a quality aluminum bike. I would be more
concerned with the longevity and fragility of carbon frame members on the
high end models before I worried about the aluminum.
