Like Max Cannondales are my fave bikes. You won't be disappoint with that frame. They are nice stiff frames little flex making for a feeling of confidence. LIght and aluminium
Just remember the vertical drops thus not too much flexibility with chain tension unless you go for an eno bb or hub

Nice one J. Cannondales are the best bikes ever, Fact.
I think you, Gertie and I are the only people who love them though...
