and just ordered a Cannondale CAADX Tiagra through work.

though, gonna have to standardize the drivetrain with my road bike.....
ie, 32T cassette and MTB RD.... in case I want to sneak my Mavic Kysrium Elite on it.

looking forward to non-technical singletrack (technical rides will require my hardtail) and some rail trail with friends whom do not like technical trails....

took off most of the un-needed weight: reflectors & bell

still need to remove the dork disk, fine tune, do a rough fit, install BBG bashguard with purely customs red chain ring bolts View attachment 266407
