Cannondale vs Specialized?
Hi,
I'm about to buy a new bike (to replace my very old Stumpjumper Comp), and I've narrowed the choice down to two models: the 04 Stumpjumper Comp and the 03 Cannondale F800SL. I'll be using it for commuting, off-road recreation AND a bit of touring once I've cobbled together some clips to allow a rack. The Specialized seems to have better components and 'conventional' forks rather than Cannondale's Headshock system (I'm a bit worried that I'll be locked into buying Cannondale parts, or limit my upgrade options). Both bikes are about the same price new; the best price i've found for the Specialized is £200 off the rrp, and the Cannondale is £400 off the rrp, so it's more of a bargain! I'd be very grateful for any opinions about either or both of the bikes. Many thanks, Al -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
