Cannondale, h300 from around 2000.

Got a topeak rack for the rear,lights, Shimano spd pedals just put on and getting a replacement wheel currently as I had a small accident with the spokes and lock bar...

Thanks! I test rode a few hybrids and this on seemed as smooth as the pricey models.Also seems much lighter than entry level bikes I had my eye on. Can't wait to get back on the road.

I love your bike, it's right up my alley. But where I'm confused is that I personally recognise it as a Rigid MTB. Regardless, it's fantastic.

These are, for all practical purposes, rigid 29ers. That said, the geometry is 'rigid-specific' (no jokes!), and is pretty well-oriented toward road/rough road use. I've been interested in them since they were 'announced', and have now been able to look over the SLR 1 version at my LBS -- they finally got one in. Really, really nice bike: I'm even more interested now, thinking about it as a supplement to or even replacement for my Sirrus.

Seriously go for it. If I didn't have my BBoy, that Giant would definitely be in my garage. My mate has a beautiful Rigid that I'm envious of.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...psgmpglr0z.jpg

Thanks. The more I ride this bike, the more I like it. I spent more than I intended but I'm glad I did at this point. I did swap out the stock saddle when I picked up the bike, so what you see in my picture isn't exactly what comes on the bike.


I told the LBS specifically what trails I wanted to ride and the roads I planned to ride to get there and they felt this was a good choice. So far they've been right. I've ridden on blacktop, concrete, loose gravel roads, hard-packed dirt roads, dirt trails and grassy trails. So far, so good.
