Great Bike
Love this bike and perfect for my use. I commute daily to work, it's a 8 mile trip one way. The terrain is mostly in the street but I am jumping curbs, riding in grassy rocky fields and hitting pot holes here and there. The suspension is great and knobby tires are perfect for my type of use. I definitely recommend this bike but I also recommend getting a pair of Thorn Resistant Tubes if your riding style is similar to mine.
Great Bike
After finally receiving the bike and using it for about a week now I'm really loving this bike. It's performed exactly how I need. I've even taken it on a mountain bike trail and it did great. Seat was not to my liking is my only complaint
great decision
Get choice for all around riding, and the bike was fitted to me perfectly. I would highly recommend Cannonball and REI to anyone.
Poor quality, go Trek
I bought this bike one month ago or so and got 2 spokes broken. REI says this is not covered by warranty and I'll have to replace the wheelset from my pocket. I've been using only for commuting from home to work on a paved trail in DC area. That never happened before with my Trek bikes. Cannondale is poor quality!
