Scalpel100 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hi I want to buy either the Cannondale Scalpel or Taurine.Can anybody please recommend.Overseas they race with the Scalpel but locally DCM chrome use the Taurine
singletrackmind Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 well depends what you are using it for... Scalpel is more comfortable and not as light and taurine is hardtail and more racey
nickc Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 DCM use both Taurines and Scalpels - depending on the terrain. The winner at Graskop was on a Taurine. I recently upgraded to a Taurine and it is without a doubt the best bike I have owned - hard or softtail. Having said that I never have ridden a Scalpel so I cannot comment on the ride.I had the choice but chose the Taurine due to the Carbon ride feel and reduced maintenance.Feel free to PM me if you need more info.
GoLefty!! Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 scalpel... no one I know who has bought one has been disappointed.
nickc Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Only too True, One day when I am big I want a Team issue to join my Taurine.
GoLefty!! Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The team issue is lovely but a Scalpel 1 is just as nice with a 25% lower price tag!!! Also I prefer the blue and black of my '08 to the red black and white of the '09. everyone is doing red white and black these days. is there a special on paint somewhere?
