$300.00 | | Purchased At: | some dudes garage | | Strengths: | light. smooth. | | Weaknesses: | crappy grip shifters. brakes and levers suck. tires were barely decent. stems a little long for me. | | Similar Products Used: | tons of mountain bikes. | | Bike Setup: | shimano brakes, specialized tires, shimano trigger shifters. rock shox judy cross country fork, pyramid levers, the brand saddle,everything else stock | | Bottom Line: | light and rides smooth. some of the stock parts suck.
give it some suspension and some new components and it gets the job done.
not my favorite bike but worth the money | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

all bikes were of the 600 to 1000 level not your average base junk people call mountain bikes (can you say comfort) | | Bike Setup: | stock frame, marzocchi bam 80 fork, disc front, lx rear, 8spd xt-rhyno lites full xt drive train, 70mm bontrager neck coda bars and brake levers and seat | | Bottom Line: | buy it for xc riding it is still as light as bikes of 2003 but you will have to put some money around to bring it up to a proper level of kool if you know what i mean dont put a super travel fork on it stay with a 80mm or less the frame was never ment to have a none rigid fork it willo void the warrenty not what you would get one on a 5 year old bike but i havent had a problem and i have dropped easy 4+ feet and not thought twice good luck ride fast see you on the trail | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$750.00 | | Purchased At: | West Liberty Cycles | | Strengths: | Solid Frame. No shocks necessary because of such a flexible yet sturdy frame. Infallible Grip Shifters. Rims strong enough to take the worst abuse possible. | | Weaknesses: | Bad seat stem...the seat won't stay angled correctly for more than a day or two without needing an adjustment.
Bad Brakes...these brakes are constantly riding the rim. They are over sensitive and not as effective as possible. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized StumpJumper | | Bottom Line: | Great riding bike...definitly one of Cannondales Unsung Heros! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
