Would like some help on what would be a good choice stache 7 by trek or
Cannondale sl 2 29ers.

What bike did you end up getting? I ride a Tallboy LT but got the Hardtail bug during a Trek demo back in September. I didn’t really want an XC hardtail and went crazy for the Stache 8 during the demo. I just ordered a 2014 Stache 8 today and should have it next week. I myself have not demoed a cannondale but I have demoed a bunch of different brands/models. If you’re still shopping around, like many have mentioned you really need to ride both bikes and on a trail if at all possible. Thats the only way you will no for sure which bike is better, it will be the one that feels better to you and causes that ear to ear grin. I have only gotten that grin and the talking to myself saying "whole crap this bike is awesome" on 2 bikes, the Tallboy LT and now the Stache 8, well maybe 3 the Niner RIP 9 did it for me also. If you ride a bike and you dont get that feeling, then keep on demoing others until that happens for you.
