    Do they have a reputation? Or is it like the cracks that are supposed to appear all over Cannondales? 18000 km on my Cannondale roadie with no cracks (despite a big crash).

    Old Roadie

    Hey all. Old fart roadie, decided to play with MTB's as well. We old blokes never like to admit we are too old for anything :) Joined here to learn a bit about using my new toy. Ignore me while I lurk a bit and understand all this MTB stuff and how to ride on dirt. See how many bones I can...
