Also note,the BBU will take 26" wheels with fat tires which would help with winter commuting.
Wasn't anything wrong with the BBU, per se -- just a mismatch between its best features and what I'm accustomed to commuting on. Mostly, it was the headshok feature. I didn't feel that I was going to use the suspension very much at all, even with having to resort to riding the ATL sidewalks every once in awhile. That being said, cannondale's BBdisc is still a consideration for me.
