I wanna sell my Langster and get something else, but i cant decide what i wanna get. I really like the Cannondale Capo's and also the Volume Cutter along with some others that i cant think of off the top of my head.

You guys have any suggestions for a new bike? Thanks

I would personally get the Capo if it is in your budget.

yea i would probably have to find one used...900 is a little out of my range right now but it all depends on how much i can sell my langster for

why do you want to get rid of a perfectly good bike?

And how could you compare a Capo and a Volume Cutter?

i don't think by stating that he likes both bikes that's a comparison....

you could probably fetch @ least $400 for your langster if it's in good shape

what kind of riding do you want to do? that will help narrow down the suggestions

that's silly, especially if he doesn't have the funds to afford a new bike now.

I would suggest searching ebay (and ebay UK) for framesets or complete bikes & pull the trigger on the one you must have. I had a Windsor Hour as a refresher bike, then got the one I needed on ebay UK via the londonfgss ebay/cl thread.
