Really like Cannondale, even my sl4 has been a great trail bike for the money. I am currently thinking I may upgrade that bike and I have done some shopping and had some conversations. Based on budget, I am thinking either the f29 2 alloy from last year, or the 2014 f29 5. Price is pretty close either way, so not a real factor. Although the 2013 is a little cheaper.
I have looked at spec list...any thoughts?
I was looking at the 2014 F29 5 too. Really nice bike. But yesterday I found a 2013 F29 Carbon 3 for the same price. So I'm pretty sure that'll be the way I go unless the 2015's come out very soon. Then I'll wait and see what the new bikes bring and that the prices of the 2013's and 2014's do.
Wow..carbon for the same? Seems like one model year old might be the way to go with these. I wonder if there are any significant updates planned for the 2015 f series
Yeah, that's what I'm kinda on the fence about. I'd hate to buy a 2013 bike and a month later 2015's get announced with some great improvement. Not likely to be huge changes I'd guess, but that seems to be my luck.
And yeah, the Carbon 3 at a semi-local shop for $2170. That's a hard deal to pass up.
