i think you can special order a frame directly from canondale. i think theyre based here in PA. So far i’m really happy with the bike. the aluminum frame is really stiff. the bike flys off jumps with a little extra effort than my previous bike. this bike is damn front heavy with that marzochi dirt jumper fork. i think it has about 5 inches of travel. The drivetrain is the weak part. is just a mixture of shiimano deore and LX derailurs but has a nice truvativ hussfelt crank. I guess canondale was just thining most buyers will replace them anyways. wheels are mavic and still remains true after 2 years. brakes are mechanical disks they just ok.

allright yinz. lets get a mtb. meet asap.
