Fun ride, minor issues

6 years ago

Perfect for around town and fitness. No hills to speak of where I ride, so replaced 46T front sprocket with 55T. Screw on rear brake rotor backed out and gouged caliper mount after two weeks--should have had Loctite, but didn't. LightSkin integrated seat post light failed after 3 months. REI warranty service has been good, but would have rather not had issues. Quality control seems suspect. Were it not for that, would have given 5 stars.

Just got my bad boy and as assumed it's Cannondale what's not to love about it right? Except that it comes delivered without the charger for the build in led lights? What is tthat all about. Really surprised that in that price class they can mess something simple like that up.

Impractical but Great Aesthetics

5 years ago

A great bike if you care about how you look more than the ride. Has bad back spray in rain and will "NOT" (caps are quote from Cannondale) work with a rear rack. Should have know something was up when the REI staff here you go and didn't size it or walk me thorough how it worked. Seat post light has connected charge cable. The lefty post has an unconnected separate charger. Neither light is sufficient to ride by - they do look good though.

Beautiful, but not worth the money.

5 years ago

Great looking bike, very unique design and some very high-end components. For almost $2k, you would expect it to last longer. After 10-months, the bike was noisy and creaky. The built-in lights are more of a gimmick and not functional at night, and the grips became very uncomfortable. Matte black paint also scratches very easily. For $2k, not worth it. You're better off getting the Co-Op 1.2. Almost identical components and at the right price point.
