- Same frame
- Nicer components on the 2000, the T800 is still nice but the 2000 is really slick. Also comes with good tyres. Buy 2K if you can afford it, it is a beautiful bike.
- New (Touring Classic?) model comes with good racks front and back, bottle cages, basically fully equipped BUT has same gearing as the Trek 520. T800 and T2000 both have good touring gearing (24-34 at the back I think; might be 26-34, still spinning madly at walking pace, fine either way).
- Only one rear eyelet. If you want mudguards, discuss how to mount them with the shop, and get them to install (they will have to bend the stays to get the mudguards to fit if you want them mounted outboard of the rack)
- Beware toe overlap, which is a big problem in the smaller sizes of the cannondales. Not so much an issue with the larger frames (but still present to some degree). Other than that, great riding bikes.
- Also, the smaller sizes have little room for water bottles.

If you are in Canada you might be able to test ride a Rocky Mountain Sherpa which people on this forum seem to like.
