I ride a Cannondale F700 with front shocks. Cool feature: The shocks can be turned on and off with a simple twist. This is my third Cannondale as the two before were stolen. The oversized aluminum frame is great (3 lbs light), but the equipment lacks a little on this model. I still have old-style cantilever brakes -- I need to replace them some time soon. I logged some 3200 miles on this bike -- once across the country!
