I'd also guess that the bike hasn't been used all that much with respect to component life, so there'd be little chance of needing any immediate upgrades. The frame quality makes the bike very upgradeable for future desires. I've got an '01 RT1000 with 18k miles on it and original components, so I'm a little biased toward the Cannondale. I'd say go check it out. If you don't have a bell, that'd be the first accessory I'd add. It makes riding the Greenway and Cedar and Kenilworth and other trails a little easier. :-) (Most of my daughter's and my riding are on the road, but every once in a while we join the "lessers" out on the trail until we get our fill of erratic traffic. :-)
