Cannondale Quick - any alternatives before I buy one?
I'm after a 'do-it-all' flat bar fitness bike for my wife... mostly for rough country lanes and gravel paths.
Her mountain bike is a nice one, but I've convinced her it's too heavy and inefficient on road and tracks - and that she'll have more fun with a 700c wheeled hybrid.
At first glance I can't see much past a Cannondale Quick CX, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions - possibly a flat-bar road/cyclocross bike, as long as it has room for bigger tyres for the paths.
Budget up to £650.00 / $1000.00.
Thanks!

That's called the CX Ultra over here and it's £1100.00!!! It would almost be cheaper to get on a cheap flight and pick one up from your side of the pond.
I should add that I'm a big Cannondale fan anyway... I'm after a CX9... but I'm still open to suggestions for Mrs Monkey Face.
