bradwentzel Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Sworks. More support/parts should something break. Those Lefties can be a pain... and Spez brings a truck
Toxic Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) if you can get hold of an spez epic! I went with Scalpel 2 because there is no stock available on epic expert for whole of 2012. I've got the scalpel within a week, and support on dale's also good at the epic. Edited June 14, 2012 by Toxic
Dr Drey Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Sworks. More support/parts should something break.

(I own a Bulls and will never change but between the 2 mentioned it is simple!)
Toxic Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Just remind me again which brand won the Epic for the last 2 years. (I own a Bulls and will never change but between the 2 mentioned it is simple!) It is not all about the bike that wins races.
Top Fuel Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 It is not all about the bike that wins races.You should write a book and call it......... "IT"S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE"
kosmonooit Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Remember Suzzie won the world MTB cup on Scalpel 2000 back when he was riding for 'dale...? The Lefty is a great piece of engineering. Also 29'er Scalpel has evolved rear suspension, on a pivot now. But It's down to personal choice. Either bike is not going to make any diffs. in your results.
Dr Drey Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 When a bike is set-up for you and it fits..........then it's all about the bike!When a bike isn't set-up..................................then it's not all about the bike!
G-Unit Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 You should write a book and call it......... "IT"S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE" That would never sell...
nickc Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 which one would be better for the Cape Epic? Personal choice, both are good, both have won the Epic.
norman-b Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 The lefty fork is a pain.Not robust enough,expensive to replace/repair.Chucked mine and fitted WC rock shock.Scalpel looks a lot prettier
Zac.A Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 go Cannondale! I've got two flashes, one 26er and one 29er.26er was bought secondhand and everything needs to be paid for.29er was bought new, have got 2 new spiders, new axle, now a lefty service, all free. Cannondale support is the best by far.
