FLX1 Posted December 18, 2012 Share The Cannondale flash is one of the best handling bikes on the market, that would be my first and only choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meentb Posted December 18, 2012 Share 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.

nickc Posted December 18, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
