After reading the review in the latest ST, I seem to have developed a bit of a bike-crush on the little cannondale.
I personally hate SSers, 29ers *and* rigid bikes yet I still find myself looking at it and drooling slightly.

Wwwwhhhhhyyyyyy!!

Bargain bike and great fun to boot.

Competed in the Thetford Winter Series with mine. Didn't frighten the top riders, but was a great ride nonetheless.

Have a search on here, there was a thread a while back about them and how bad the brakes are.
Yes. You'll want to upgrade the brakes 😉

I'm really fancying one of those as a 'spare' bike or winter bike.
Just needs a decent set of brakes fitted.

Do it, do it, do it!

I swapped the brakes and fitted some wider bars to mine, and it's now awesome.

Fourbanger, I believe it's about 23lbs.
It makes no sense to me, but I absolutely love it in that blue above.

Anyone got any tips on sizing - for a 5'9" bloke with slightly short legs?

Really fancy one of those - could tick all the rigid/SS/29er niches in one go and then convert to gears or forks if required. Gets great reviews in all the mags, they are rarely ALL wrong
