I wanted a hybrid that would be suited to road and canal paths ( I have 25 miles of made up paths on the doorstep). I got very disappointed when I tried out several hybrids with a rack and all bits included. This one came up on ebay and was in really excellent condition. The price was just a third of new (New= £1400) so for me it was the right price. I thought it had just nine gears, but I soon found another eighteen :)
Not having been on a treadly for 20 odd years and closing in on 60 years of age; I was not into all the tech stuff about. The disc brakes are awesome for stopping, the gears are silky smooth, I can not even hear the chain moving it is that whisper quiet. Very quick, easy to get up hills, light as a feather (it is to me anyway) finish is drop dead gorgeous, and all I have changed is getting rid of those stupid octopus pedals. I purchased really as a stop-gap until I found what I really wanted. My decision now is keep it and run it into the ground. I'm racking up a hundred miles a week and enjoy every single one of them.
My only criticism is .... why the hell did Cannondale stop production? I guess it must have been a flop. Heavens only knows why ....it is brilliant in every sense!

Utilitarian but still performance-oriented. Riders also get the peace of mind knowing that more than 25 years of experience have gone into the optimized tube shaping in this commuter.

About Cannondale
We fight to be different... not for the sake of being different but for the sake of being the best. For us, like you, it's the secure click of a cleat meeting its pedal. For us at Cannondale, it's building, testing and rebuilding; making it better in the process, never settling for "good enough". It's knowing it, verses guessing it and using the world's greatest athletes to prove it. It's having such high standards and expectations in how we want product to perform that we are relent
