ben_travis Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Cannondale's are expensive, its just a fact. Everything is made in their USA factory, the best clean welds in the industry, or so I believe. Jonny. ← yes they are very expensive for what they are. not amazing bikes. but look reasonable. The welds are just sanded down to look smooth. Or so i believe/told by a cannondale dealer. Yes i also believe thats a bad thing. cheers ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 nah its defineatly not a £4500 bike. why dont you write out a spec and im sure someone will be bored enough to give you a price on it. but yeh not 4500 worth at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxx-boxx Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well you put up a link trying to show me my bike is worth 1600 brand new but when i had a look at the spec of that one i laughed, i have xt reat mech not scram i have lx front mech not a low range front shimano mech, and there more but whats the point i like it and i have the money. As for ben lol, this bike is 3 years old only once to of been seen in chelmer cycles, and that was when they imported it in for my mate.

I've had a Cannondale and they're not that niceley finished round the welds anyway. your mate got absolutely raped if he really did pay £4500 for one of THESE. <<<click Even better model still way cheaper (second from left, top row) <<<click Dan Remember what happened to Pinnochio?... ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross W. Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I allways taught leftys were the best looking forks :turned: Dunno about functionality though ← ahahaha, my thoughts were always the exact opposite.

biketrialler Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Great, its expensive, woop woop. Go f**k yourself with your e-penis! Its a nice enough bike but in a stupidly small size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Personally I think a smaller bike is much better! If this bike was in a large size like umm 20 inches or something then it would fell horrid! If its smaller its easier to chuck about etc! My mate had a specialized 14" and that was foking mint!!! What I wanna know is why this hasnt been closed yet!? Not that I think it should be cus those bike threads are hummm (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a Sram 7.0 and a Shimano XT derailleur is hardly £2,200. And it's not 'electronic' lock out, it's a little cable operated thumb shifter. GIMP.

N.Wood Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 The Sram 7.0 is a direct competitor with the XT mech., if you didn't know that. It's a nice bike, as has been pointed out about 30740 times, it's not worth £4500. It's also pretty small for what is an XC bike, you'll have to put the post right up to get decent pedaling efficiency, grrrrrreat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its cable activated, but it, in simple terms, reacts with a fluid in the fork that responds to electricity which stiffens all the moving parts causing lockout. I dont know how it works properly, but its something like that, and it is called Electronic Lockout ELO. As for the small frame thing, fair enough if its for trials but if it doesnt have the reach necessary its going to feel cramped and make you sore riding XC.

Luke Drewery Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Very nice xc/freeride steed you've got there. Its amazing how much bikes like that cost now, you can get a car cheaper. Downhill seems to be the most expensive discipline in mountain biking, last time i looked rockshox boxxer forks were £1000 and frames ie intense downhill were like £2000? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honda bike was stupidly expensive, with a carbon mainframe and a gearbox etc. Intense M3's are more expensive that £2000, and you can get Foes/Carnutt sus. forks in the £2000 range too. But yeh anyways, on topic hehe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minitrialer Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 and if i am not mistaken he called sram scram......and from what has been said about the price.....oh dear. Some-one hasn't done the research they needed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben ← I never said it was for trials, I said if it was for trials its nice to have the bike short, but if you are using it for XC then if its not long enough it will give you cramp and get painful.

PhenoVenom Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 I think they should have named that bike Cannondale Hyde instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
