Asking price for both is about 2,100 for each. Cannondale might have a mark-up depending on the import tax. Which should I buy?
nickc Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Welcome to the Hub - richchin. It depends what you want to do, if XC racing is what you have in mind then the Flash has a serious race pedigree. I have not ridden the Orbea but the Flash is brilliant and nothing beats a Lefty.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I'm more thinking of when you going to sell, which one got the name? (will sell easier) If the price and specs are more a less the same, buy the one that makes your tummy feels warm Edited March 16, 2011 by popeye
