If you're used to Cannondale quality, and want Full Suspension, think "USED".
$1,000 new won't buy you anything you're going to appreciate. The used market is abundant right now and there are some great deals available. A lot of people are desperate to get rid of their stuff, and are giving stuff away!
If you want new, stick with a hardtail, or increase your budget another $500 to get a quality Full Suspension bike!
L8R
BTW, what kinda riding do you anticpate? XC, agressive XC, Freeride, DH....etc.
That'll help!
