Thank you so much for the input, its greatly appreciated.
I got a chance to test ride the Cannondale yesterday, the LBS built it for me to test ride, what a great bunch of people who love cycling! So very helpful. I should be able to test ride the Trek tomorrow ?? The Cannondale was great and smooth, and it's pretty w/ that splash of pink : )
I have heard the Trek's are pretty good as well (I have a Trek 4300 MTB already). So the logical mind is winning the battle and holding out to test ride both.
Thanks Ladies!
