Cannondale Trail SL 2013 opinions please
Hi there all, I asked a week ago on the sticky thread in this forum about a few bike I am interested in. Long and short of it is ones not available on our cycle to work scheme and the other is last years model and the only frame size left is to small.
As I am a keen road cyclist but lack the knowledge in MBT to pick out a truly sweet ride. So your opinions really will help me.

Thanks as ever dave

It is a good bike capable of real singletrack trail use. The shadow rear derailleur is nice, and the rest of the gear is solid.

You'll enjoy it, and if you feel so inclined you'll have a great platform to upgrade over the years, or to convince you to move to a full-suspension bike.
I find myself really only using my road bike for group rides and exercise. For fun, MTB tops it very easily!

As the cycle to work scheme has a max value of £1000, how do you intend to get this bike, as it is out of the price range for this scheme?
