Surprise. I picked mine up after all! A black Hooligan 3, which i'll be taking home on Wednesday. Going to start off by throwing some On One Mary bars onto it, Ergon grips, and some Schwalbe Mow Joe 2.0 knobby tires. It'll be fun to rip around on

A few extra comments after having actually tried it out:

1. The gearing range is just about right in my opinion. Not too high, not too low.

2. Yes, it is quite heavy for a 20" 3 speed bicycle. But the frame is extremely thick, and presumably extremely strong to match.

3. The photos on the Cannondale website show that the 3 has a derailleur hanger. This isn't true according to my Hooligan 3, it simply has a flat dropout. This is a bit of a downer considering the tinkering I was planning to do, but an Alfine 11 should be a nice thing to throw in there later this year..

4. Tire clearance is big, big enough for Big Apple 2.35's.

5. I personally think its uglier in real life than the photos can ever portray. But its a "grows on you" ugly. Also, the silver squigglies are reflective!
