Submitted by Bill a Cross Country Rider from Metropolis, Ill

Date Reviewed: February 25, 2001

Strengths:    This is a very fast bike and it can stand up to the punishment. I weigh 180lbs and ride a medium F3000 and I have had no problems. I average around 20-25 miles per ride when I can.

Weaknesses:    Coda Parts, why put cheap parts on a great frame!

Bottom Line:   
This is an excellent cross-country machine. I have raced it a few times and it is a rocket. I don't think it could be set up any better. I just wish I had more time to ride it.

Date Reviewed: January 18, 2001

Strengths:    None its weak

Weaknesses:    Ive broken the frame in four places cracks and snaps the forks are sh~t i bent the steerer and flared the head tube i twisted the stays and the whell is still true the bottom bracket tube cracked down the middle i got mine with coda discs and they pump up and drag like my dog when it has an itchy ass the rotors warp the coda cranks twisted and i was riding the fairfield xc course in nsw (the one in the olympics )

Bottom Line:   
Cannondale need to get it together there bikes are weak and are specced with dodgy parts so i would advise u not to buy one cos they are expensive with cheap parts
