Favorite Ride:
all are good

Summary:
I have been a triathlete (age grouper) and have started to commute to work which is a great ride across dirt roads, gravel roads, wooden boardwalks, streets, and a business highway section. I had been riding my Cannondale Road but the multi terrain makes it less then enjoyable. My commuting is my way of thumbing my nose at the gas prices and oil companies. I have been enjoying it also as I get home with no stress and have left work at work. The bike responds well and the handling is great, all of the bumps that were rocking me hard are now just a smooth ride. I am a big Cannondale fan and wanted to stay with the company.

Strengths:
Well built and good components for the purchase price.

Weaknesses:
I do rub the front tire when turning if the pedal is forward but that is a minor issue and was corrected with ease.

Similar Products Used:
This is my first Cyclocross bike and I am going at the same speeds as my road bike therefore I may sell my road bike and just ride this one.
