Getting a new Mountain Bike

About two weeks ago Ted and I demo’d a Cannondale Scalpel 2000 and Cannondale Jekyll 2000. Personally, I didn’t care for the plush-ness of the Jekyll. I suppose this is mainly due to the fact that I still ride and love my Gary Fisher Mt. Tam with the Genesis Geometry. Nothing climbs like it.

I rode the Jekyll with the rear locked-out in many of the flat sections and climbs. I didn’t get a chance to ride the Scalpel, but Ted was a different rider on that bike. Scary in fact. So he’s sold on the Scalpel; without riding it, I think I am too. That’s why I didn’t push to ride it [yet].
