My Cannondale T2000 tires!!!!!
I am an extremely inexperienced cyclist and bought the T2000 after much homework.
I cycled 1400 miles on it, in 22 days, and then cycled 2/3 hours a day, for 3 weeks around Katrina devastated country roads...glass, debris, garbage.....you name it.
How many flats?.....ZERO
If you don't like the bike, at least buy the tires.
If Cannondale needs a spokeswoman, have them call me!

Are they Conti Travel Contacts, Helen? What size are you running, the 700x37s?

Glad to hear you had such good performance out of the Conti Travel Contacts (and a good ride besides, I hope?) Continental tires have always been a personal fav of mine.

I looked at the Cannondale T-800 last weekend and liked the bigger tires. It was heavier than a Trek 520 sitting beside it which sort of surprised me. Now on a bike like this weight is of secondary importance but, either the T-2000 is a lot lighter due to whatever reason or, Cannondale must be using some awefully thick aluminum in those tubes.
