I like the Bikes that Cannondale ships to the UK and European Market better than the few they offer in the States..

I own a Koga Miyata With a Rohloff rear hub for gearing .. frames are both aluminum..

but the way the front and rear racks are an integral part of the Koga build up is excellent.

I tend to re assemble what ever bike I get, and found a number of flaws that I fixed .
