at Ray's Cycle Favorite Ride:
rolling hills Bike Setup:
The bike is stock with the exception of a Terry fly Ti, thompson setback seatpost and look 396 pedals. Summary:
I had back surgery last summer and lost a lot of flexibility and had almost given up on road bikes due to the paint and stress on my back, that is until I tested this cannnondale.
The geometry of the "sport" frames makes for a very pleasant and comfortable ride, yet the bike handles extremelly well and is very fast.
After months of riding this bike and changing the seatpost and saddle, I'm very satisfied with it's performance, craftmanship and looks. Strengths:
very confortable ride, light weight with excellent handling and quick to accelerate, awsome paint job (sunburst fade) and cool loking and very stiff truvativ elita triple crank Weaknesses:
I did not like the feel of the suspension seatpost and the gel saddle, which I replaced after a couple of rides. Cannondale should offer this bike with a standard seatpost and normal saddle.
The other item that I do not like is the tiagra front derailer and cassette, how much can they save by downgrading these two components? Similar Products Used:
