Prophet 800 = what specialized?
My buddy has a 2005 Cannondale Prophet 800 and I am wanting to know what Specialized mountain bike that this would compare to? I looked but I'm just not real sure what to tell him. We both have a mutual friend who is wanting to buy a bike but is not so sure of the Cannondale, he would like something comparable, but just not a Cannondale. My friend payed around $2000 for his Cannondale if it will help. So what ever you guys suggest, I am going to give to my friend as a starting point. Thanks
Link to his bike is here and here are the specs on his bike:

Pedals Shimano PD-M520

The base Stumpy would probably be closest, I know I'd rather have it. Of course I am biased

Actually, I would place the Enduro as closest to the Prophet. To be fair, I have sold both bikes and I don't think you can go wrong with either, I believe the Prophet will be a bit lighter, but all else should be relatively equal.

They bill it as all-mountain/light freeride. You can set the head angle from 69.5-67.0 if I recall correctly. 5.5" of travel. Its truly just a mini Gemini. There is an even more freeride version available, the Prophet MX... which is the 4x model.
