Strengths:    Smooth And Fast. Beautiful Color White And Blue With Yellow
Decals. Love The Geometre.


Weaknesses:    The Ultra Head-Shock's Locking System Drives Me Up The Wall.....Like "Handle With Care" Or "Be Gentle" Or Something.

Bottom Line:   
The C'Dale F3000sl Is Probably One Of The Greatest Hard-tail Bikes On The Planet.

Strengths:    This bike is incredible!! I rode a Klein before this and that bike just didn't compare to the handling capabilities of this Cannondale!! The price was right on too. Tubeless Crossmax, XTR, and Ultra-lightweight for under $2000. Can't be beat!!!

Weaknesses:    None really, although I had one problem with air leaking from my front tire (Tubeless). I was able to fix that by using Vaseline on the seal of the rim-wall.

Bottom Line:   
If you're looking for a bike in the area of "the best" but don't have over $3000 to dish out, than this is the bike for you. All the best at half the price. Just compare this bike to other top-line bikes from GT and Trek.

Date Reviewed: May 7, 1999

Strengths:    
Light weight
Excellent Handling
Great components
Awesome front shock
Cool color


Weaknesses:    
thinwall tubing dents easily. I had a little chainsuck and it dented the downtube!


Bottom Line:   
This bike is incredible. The front end is so stable and solid through the turns it puts my old Rockshox JudySL to shame! The bike literally floats over the trail at 21.7lbs (with Crossmax wheels and ESP9.0SL drivetrain). I really really dig this bike

Bottom Line:   


WOW. A 2.8 pound fork that works better than all the rest. A 2.9lb frame that is the best. This bike is the Ultimate. It weights 22.4 lbs. STOCK!!!! All you have to do is step on a pedle and it takes off like a missle. This is a can't miss bike!!
