you just spend a shitload of money making the Cannondale more zippy when a mere change of frame to a track-specific one can easily make it zippier (but less comfortable on the road).[/QUOTE]
right i get the picture now - finally doh!
i have to say tho i think it has a really nice ride quality and i think, with your insights and considering it's a commuting machine, i don't feel the £800-odd was too badly spent.
one more question though - it's pretty light now with the upgrades so do you think a heavier bike with track-geommetry would give better/zippier performance than a road-orientated bike that's much lighter?
