It looks heavy but IT's NOT!!!!Aluminium and carbon fibers frame.
I went out for a ride on some trails around my place and the bike came alive...Nice thing is that I can lock the front fork (on the fly)which is nice fo rclimbing,less bobbing!!!
But I like it !!!
Might keep it fo rthe summer and then this winter,sell the two bikes and get a newer,better one for next season!!!
Last night I had the clipless on it,tonight I will put my XC FIRE on it...the semi slick SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!
Overall,I like it....!!!

This is where the alteration will happen...
Tires are going( rear is a semi slick,not good for me) the front one is used...Panaracers XC Fire are going on.
Change of pedals,I might put my clipless on it(not sure yet)or just some flats!!!
There...That's it for now...
See my MOJO on the floor,MY BABY!!!!
Love the bike rack
Those cannondales used to be popular around here... most of the people I know sold them and got Kona's
I rode my buddies when he had his, It seemed that I was allways about to go over the bars on it. The geometry was to far forward for me. A smooth ride non-the-less. my friend had gotten his down to 24.5lbs when he had it...
congrats dude

forgot to mention... I rode this weekend. Twice 
I didn't need a HRM to tell me I was really pushing it. We rode the first 6 miles at race pace. I think he was trying to kill me 
It has been while since I have done that.

So how many young boys are buried under that bike dero?

Just kidding dero lighten up
Dero lacking a smily, thats like sally Struthers lacking a sandwich!, cool bro RIDE ON
I need to go get some new rubber this week, goind on two week rock climbing and mountain biking road trip starting June 10th!!!
Same here. I use the xc pro 2.1 on the front and xc pro 1.8 on the rear. It makes for some great traction in the turns and fast rolling on the straights. theyre light weight and hard to beat on the price...

The 1.8 on the rear????
Hmmmm
That's the first time I hear somebody doing that setup.
Not saying it's bad nor good,just odd.
You don't lose traction like that?
I use the 2.1 front and rear.
I'll have to think about dat one!!!

No, No losss of traction on the rear. It hooks up great, has a lower rolling resistance. I initially had the 1.8 on front and rear but it was too skittish on the front. The only time you may notice the 1.8 on the rear is on extreme up hills, if you had to stand up to pedal you may spin out a little. Other wise the performance loss is nill compared to the gain.
Go ahead and give it a whirl when you get a chance, You can order one pretty cheap for about $20.

Agrees with Dero. I can see you getting caught up with the ride and forgetting you have the camera.
