Delilah Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 On paper the blue looks hond...but in the flesh I actually prefer the blue...saw a couple at VG the other day....things of beauty! The blue is beautiful and I prefer gloss finish on carbon. The Storm is matt and it seems to attract every spec of dust within a 5km radius. However, I already have a good wheelset for the frame and the hubs are red so it will have to be the black/red one. Have this exact frame, it replaced my already exellent Blur XC (26 inch version). Absolutely love it! Fast when climbing and comfortable downhill. I doubt you can do much better....................both Cannondale and Spec you have to buy the whole bike. You will not regret it!!!!! Well then you've all convinced me. Time to pull the proverbial trigger. Please honour a moment of silence for my poor stressed bank manager Ramrod 1
Clinton H Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Santa Cruz is da bomb , I have the orange one . Much nicer and lighterthan the Niner . Delilah 1

The Blur is still Boutique

Newboy Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Better than the Niner IMO Better looking too. +1. That is a upgrade on any bike out there. (ok I might be biased, I have the blue one) Porra 1 1

Beer4Recovery Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 You don't want to hear my answer but glad you found what were looking for. What local Cycle Lab stocks the new 2013 Fuel EX range, since they are Trek distributors? Delilah 1
Li Mu Bai Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 The SC is awesome. much better than the 9er Delilah 1
