    Road Bicycles

    Cannondale makes some awesome road bikes. From the CAAD9 which features one of the most critically acclaimed aluminum frames, which are still handmade in the USA. They are fast and aggressive, while still being comfortable for the long haul. If you are looking for a comfortable strong performing Road Bike, check out another shop favorite the Cannondale Synapse. Offered in both aluminum and carbon fiber, both bikes offer a relaxed position for all day comfort and casual riders. These bikes may be focused on comfort, however they deliver comparable performance to any other road bike; just as the riders of the famous Paris-Roubaix Race. They also offer the Slice which is a sick Time Trials/ Triathlon targeted bicycle.

    Cannondale offers a ton of variety with their Mountain bikes and many new for 2010 models. The CO2s make for great entry level Mountain bikes, perfect for Gainesville Trails or a good all around bike for trail riding and something to get to or from class or work; We have had great success with both the F9 and the F5. The Trail SL and Flash hardtail mountain bikes are extremely lightweight capable mountain bikes, sure to please any level or experienced rider. In addition to the wide range of full suspension mountain bikes, including their new for 2010 models; the Cannondale Scalpel is the Best Full Suspension mountain bike for Florida. The Scalpel's pivot-less suspension makes for a stiff, lightweight, fast riding bike that offers all the benefits of full-suspension, but the performance of a hardtail.

    Cannondale CAAD9 Review

    Cannondale CAAD 9 6
    CAAD9G
    The Cannondale CAAD9 series of road bikes are Cannondale’s top of line aluminum road bike frames. Canondale offers one of the very few aluminum American made frames on the market and on top of that they are value priced with entire bikes starting at only 899 dollars. The middle of the line 2009 CAAD9 model is the 6, it is flanked by either the higher end mainly Shimano 105 ’5′ and the entry level CAAD9 7 with mainly Shimano Sora components. The CAAD9 6 is offered in white and grey color schemes and is available in a double or triple crankset option. The CAAD9 series of road bikes offer a veristile performance minded frame-set that are just as comforatable in a weekend crit as they are riding out on a metric century on the weekend.

    The ’6′ is a well packaged performance road bike / budget minded racer. It comes stock with a full Shimano Tiagra component groupo save for the cassette and brakes, which are supplied by Sram and Tektro respectively. The ’6′ also comes equiped with Shimano wheels and a carbon/aluminum fork to soak up the bumps. Though the bike is only speced with modest entry level components; its combination of an elegant paint job and stiff and responsive chasis make for a bike that rides and looks like a much higher end and more expensive machine.
