hi yus75.. a rd bike probably cost ya between $1000-$15000. . .

try cannondale or scott. .

however, i feel mtb is more flexbile cuz u can go on n off rd. .

maybe u can refurbish ur bike n ride it again. .

[k0na_scab]

sidetrack abit

cannondale looks good but the 'feel' on the bike aint that great. too rigid vertically, too flexy sideways

& the big head shock is really a piece of crap. IMO tried the lefty also

pure XC no trashing , frame breaks too easily.

the trek full carbon easily would cost u 5k n above.

but also depending on what wheels n groupset u opt for.

i think there's this Italian brand called Konalgo. the bike is at least $10000 and above. . haha. . if anyone owns such a bike do let me have the pleasure of at least seeing it in real life instead of magazines.

i always regard Cannondale as a high end brand ( maybe due to the steep prices and nice designs ). However, Cannondale did win several competitions the last two years to secure them as a top brand for bicycles.

Any Santa cruz riders here can tell me the feel of the bike?

As for Scott, the bike is pretty smooth and frankly, its not the top ranged bike ( bet $700-$5000 ) only. However, its worth every cent.

[chucky]

if u going to spend more den 4000,, u must well get lite speed... titatium frame some more... good for off road cause lighter.. my oppenient is what for spend so much money to get an allumium frame jst fot the brand??? for me is need to be lasting and not the brand..

[VILLAIN]

For road bikes, try Cinelli.

For MTBs, try Seven Cycles or Yeti Cycles.

dude , u muz be kidding right ?

getting a carbon bar on the santacruz , i dunt tink it will be able to handle the stress

further more is its yr 'play' bike , surly buang there goes yr carbon bar man.

careful when u clamp yr carbon bar to the stem , try not to have any kink or knock on it & do not over tighten.

safe riding
