I'm in the market for a new Cannondale Bad Boy. My current bike has the lefty front fork which is now only fitted to the top end Bad Boy 1. This model not imported into the Uk by CSG who are Cannondale in England. I have spoken to CSG who are unhelpful and disinterested. They are clearly unwilling to assist and won't special order for me.

Any idea where I can source one?

lots on german ebay and german bike shops. At least one should ship to the UK i would have thought. you will have to swap the brakes around but apart from that they should be the same

prices from 1699 to 1899 €

Im in Germany. PM me and i may be able to help out.

I bought a Cannondale last year from thebikeshop.de . No problems in shipping to the UK, site has an English option if you need it and they answered my emails in near perfect English too.

Can't see the Bad Boy listed but you could always drop them a mail. Don't forget to ask them to switch the brakes around before shipping if you go ahead.

The Bad Boy uses a headshok, not a lefty.

Yup, as the OP points out, we don't get the full range of Cannondale products in the UK

That is just a headshok with a single sinded rigid fork.
Lefty has the suspension within the left suspension leg.

Sorry, I am being pedantic smile

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. /end Hermes mode
