P.S. Always wash out your new Camelbak or you will have powdery water when you are dying of thirst….mistakes happen when daylight is burning 😕

[quote="reiver":1w7bidem]Hello, first post here…Honestly I was going to buy a Walmart Mongoose just to save some dough, but I picked out a Cannondale instead. I’m a newbie in the sense that I’ve been out of it for 15 years. In the 90s, I had Cannondales, Treks, etc – but married now which makes me a poor man. Your blog helped my wife understand why buying the expensive-to-her Cannondale F8 for $420 is not ridiculous…thanks mate!

Thats awesome 😃 I’m glad I could be of assistance![/quote:1w7bidem]

I ditched the Cannondale and bought a more expensive GIANT Rincon…which had a lot beefier fork (not the best, but didn’t want to jump to ($700 on sale) a RockShox equipped Haro))…well I did, but I didn’t want the wife to kill me in my sleep. The bike had better components as well as it shifted a lot smoother. On another note – I just found out I’m not 20 anymore after a test sprint. Forgot to buy a new helmet and decided to go for it anyways…came close to regretting that. 😮
