Yes...That's what impressed me so! I rode it hard for a few years...Thank GOD nothing happened...Hung up my biking hobby in 1997 and there it hung...Have been jogging all along but at 64 it's been taking its toll....so I decided to pull it down and turn it into a hybred....It was a miracle I stumbled upon the old recall because I had a ton of stuff picked out and ready to hit the buy button on. LBS that didn't even sell it to me originally did all the leg work for me per Cannondale...In the meantime I put a deposit on a Sirrus x5 that should be in soon from them not expecting the results I got from Cannondale!!! But that's still a win win! Don't know if I will keep or sell the replacement because it is not as hard-core as I would like for a dedicated mountain bike...BUT....I am happy and very impressed by Cannondale!
