New vs. Used??

[avr284]

Thanks for the advice so far! I'll keep looking! I'm very sure I will use this new bike a lot. I have a great mountain bike that I bought years ago, rode it all the time in middle school, high school and college. The only reason I don't ride it now is it's at my mom and dad's and is in desperate need of a good tune up. I might give myself a date, if I can't find used by the first weekend in April, I may have to break down and get a new one. Thanks again!

well i bought mine used from a shop, so besides buying it at a really great price, i got free fitting and tune up...

plus being a cannondale, you get lifetime warranty on damages to the frame.

look around and see if there are good bike stores that have a used inventory, you'd be surprised on the deals and kind of service you can still get from them...
i think that's better than buying it directly from someone.

hope this helps!
