Review: Cannondale Habit Carbon LT1
Nope, sorry cannondale, my wounds are still too raw from you dropping support for the unreliable bits you sold me. Its great to innovate but plan to stand by your customer instead of leaving us with the trash.
In my case it was a headshock that sealed to the frames headtube. Three years from new you stopped selling parts for it.

$1400 USDBeautiful bike seeks forever home.
I bought this 3 years ago from original owner who bought it from River Cycles in Portland.
It is the most beautiful bike but it is just too small for me.
Size is 56.
56.5cm top tube for rider 5'9"-5’10"?
Paint is metallic black, the dropouts are machined from stainless steel. It is very pretty and is stiff but with a great steel feel.
19.75 lbs
Lots of tire clearance, currently running 33mm vittoria tenneno wet.
Chris king headset and bottom bracket.
Dt350 hubs and velocity rims
Shimano 105 11 speed cranks, shifters, derailleurs, and 11-28 cassette.
Richey wcs seatpost and stem
Richey bars
Crand Cru long reach brakes
Fizik Arione Kium saddle
Fenders included but not installed
Pedals not included
Bike as pictured with cyclocross tires is $1400.
Ive also got a set of Curve G4 wheels with King R45 hubs for shimano 11 speed, sapim xray spokes that i would like to include for $600 extra. The wheels are great on this bike so ill sell the wheels separately after the bike sells.

WRT Shipping: I'd really prefer a local sale but I'll take it to the local bike shop of your choice for them to pack and ship at your cost.

Guy moves so well, terrific body awareness. See how casually he lifts his bike with one hand? Huge strength. Thanks for staring it’s inspiring to see.

The Ibis DV9 Hardtail is Back
This being a budget bike is a massive joke. But it is a damn nice bike. Hope they sell a ton of them - i Can’t wait until they hit the used market.

The Ibis DV9 Hardtail is Back
Besides aesthetics there’s no reason to have top tube up high where your knees and bars can hit. As long as bike is strong and light: Lower the better as far as I’m concerned.
