This note of importance from
www.crazyguyonabike.com/msynder
in response to my asking him
why he chose Cannondale:
'Why Cannondale? In my reading, Cannondale had been consistantly shown to be a well made bike - so it had name recognition along with a few others.
I also wanted to get a bike that had a dealer in the near-by city of Calgary.
I went to 3 different LBSs there, tried out several bikes, and the Cannondale had the features I wanted and felt the best.
The Trek was a close 2nd - but the gear levers were bar ends (they're not now), and I did NOT want that.
But, I do admit to being more-than-a-little ignorant when I bought it - I think I lucked out.
Whatever bike you get, be sure you get a super-strength rear wheel.
And use a thread tightener (Loc Tite - blue) to avoid the mega-problems I faced with spokes loosening.
Have you read my "Tips for Clydesdale" page?
I wish I'd have known that stuff before I left. Murray Snyder'
Murray's site pages (22) about 'The Dempster Highway' are simply wonderful. K
