What does that Cannondale retail for?

And where to find one in JHB?

 

Epic sports in centurion will definately be able to get you one. Best serice ive ever received at a bike shop.

 

Recently bought my new flash there! And loving it!

 

Oh ****. Nearly forgot.

 

Cannondale

Thanks all, so far dale is the clear winner.

Dale 60k (FLASH-CARBON-29ER-1), not cheap..

BMC +/- 47k, according to sa website

Swift, not sure probably about 45-50k.

.

Hope you have enough time and money to have that lefty serviced

2013 Lefty has 150hour service intervals.......

RS 100hour+-, fox is roughly the same

If its a 29er Hardtail you are looking for the choice is easy ans there is only one option - Cannondale Flash.

 

The Lefty is brilliant.
