buying a bike

glava565

Hello

need some advice.i was looking some ads for a full sussers and find
cannondale prophet with lefty.
So i was wondering is it good for a first full susser(i was riding anything but a hardtail)
and how lefty can cope with some jumps (nothing to big(or long)


Any advice is welcom.

Thanks and cheers!!

The Prophet is an AM bike IIRC, so I would imagine 'dale would spec it with a fork that can cope with a fair bit of abuse. The Prophet is a pretty fugly bike though! - have you looked at the Spesh Pitch?

I just spend(in january) my money on a new f so i am a LITTLE short on money
but was reading ads just for fun and prophet 2007 just come up. I live in croatia which has small market compare to yours so its not often that some good full susser is for sale.
Besides i never rode a full susser so dont now what a good full susser is.
Dont understand "fugly bike" what do you mean by that?

cheers!!

Oh the wonders of the English language.
F***ing Ugly squashed together to give Fugly.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder so if you like it go for it. it will take most general riding but no big jumps/drops. The fork is (was) used buy the canondale 4X riders

Enjoy.
