Mtnbiking

Jo and I have a new member of the family. My bike.


Isn't he beautiful?? We haven't named him yet, but we were thinking about 'Charlie'.

For those in the know: It's a Cannondale, Prophet 2000. It has a Carbon Lefty with SPV internals and a Manitou Swinger 3-Way at the back - both with compression and rebound damping adjustment and adjustable pedaling platforms (via a shock pump). It has a full XT kit - including Dual Controllers :) with an '07 XTR rear derailleur; the rear hub is a DT 340 (with a Cannondale front hub) with Mavic XM819 UST Disc, 32-hole rims.

Side note: I bought the bike in Colorado - the retail price there was less than the trade price in London... - and the bike's still there. There have been 'logistical hassles' trying to get it shipped here... The plan to have it FedEx'ed or UPS'ed here has been thwarted, so if anyone has any good ideas I'd love to hear from you...
