Hi Guys
Taken bell off ,and no there are no reflectors on the wheels,
I only payed £319 new from evans .changed the forks to toros 318 u-turn09 with poplock,new lizard skins peaty lock on,new easton e30 mid rise bars ,gusssit slim jim pedals ,180 rotor on front ,good bike for the money has avid juicey 3 brakes .
and a good frame ,worthy of the upgrades

great spec for the price mateI nearly bought one myself when they were £380 a few months back, the original shocks were dart 2's iirc? how much did the tora's set you back if you dont mind me asking?

and as you say the frame is definitely worthy of fitting upgrades

hi i've got the 2008 cannondale F6 but with just v-brakes

but i've just been adding new parts, i've replaced the bb to a hope steel external bb and upgraded the crank to a raceface evo xc. and got a wheel set there bikehut ones yes i know but i get better ones than what were on it and was all i could afford at the time after i bent the rear wheel that came with the bike. plus the have mounts of disc on them and i just ordered a set of magura louise bat disc brakes. so the bike is slowly shaping up

it's my first bike after 10 years of not having one and i'm slowly getting back into mtb and a lot has changed since then. and i still have the mbuk dirt video i got free with the mag lying about somewhere lol

the magura's are fitted now and i just replaced the dart 2 fork with a set of recon race forks and but in a hope step down head set and yes it does fit on a cannondale and fitted an all sram X9 drivetrain. but since doing 4 of the 7 7stanes centre's last oct i'm wanting to get a full suser the hard tail was just loosing too much speed but i did still have the dart 2's on it then so i'll see how things go with the new fork.

Very nice! I have an F6 in the Lightening White finish. Steadily replaced lots of bits: Hope headset, Rockshox Recon Race forks, Avid Elixir 5s, drivetrain to deore, Wellgo MG1s, Mavic Crossride wheelset.
Just need to shorten the stem a bit now and I reckon I'll be done. Losing some of the weight off it makes all the difference.

Honestly think this is a superb bike after the tweaks - 'rapid' is the best term I can think of!

311Oneil I've just realised we've already talked about our bikes in one of my posts when I was doing the headset!
