    Both got very similar specs, most important component is the fork which looks to be the same. The rest of the components, the canondale just edges it but only just.

    Hmm I'd say the Cannondale is one level higher on just about every component, so it would be the 'dale for me of those two.

    Have a look at the on-one Parkwood as well.

    I would try to test ride them as the crave seems to be more of an xc bike than the cannondale in the riding position. If you are very tall the crave fits riders over 6ft6 in the largest frame size.
