I belive the word you are trying to use is voila. A viola is a stringed instrument in the orchestra, place between the violins and the cellos.

Yours truly.

Ditto! I now know more than a did a few seconds ago. GREAT!!!
I am still a little confused about this thread though. That almost at the bottom of C'Dales MTB line. IF you are going to start a thread about a C'dale it should be about thr R5000Si!!!

And there was me thinking that a viola was a small member of the pansy/heartsease family...

What's the difference between a violin and a viola?

A viola burns longer, but a violin burns with a brighter flame.

Rich...

The headshock system is nice...i have it locked out since i need it less for road riding; but when loosened you get good stability when pressure is put on the fork.

fubar5...

actually its got the cannondale frame i wanted and some decent components with it when i got it. basically these are the most important things on a bike to upgrade, besides weight. I want to customize the bike, thats why i got it. A souped up CRAPCYCLE tm. can easily beat your RS5000Si x to the third power, whatever-bicycle.

and if ya dont like the thread, i think theres a complaint area discussion back in the General Forums Home area...

....https://www.bikeforums.net/index.php

theres the link for ya!
why dont ya spend some time in there bizatch?

Do I sense some jealousy there? Is it the rad handlebars or the superior front suspension?

I'm guessing handlebars. Back in my day we didn't need front suspension. We got stress fractures in our wrists, and we liked it.

Well, if I'm in this race that starts at 8, and you want to finish even a little bit in the same millennium as me MikeW305, you should have started a few years ago. Muahahahahahaha!!! I have a secret booster food that gets me going the speed of light in the speed of light.
