2009 Cannondale Rize

[ratbane]

This bike is now the permanent stable partner to the Explosif.

I have now had several rides on her, and she is fanbleedingtastic. A true all round mountain bike, whilst being light and flicky.

Not true retro, but this model is now obsolete so nearly there.

Bit tongue in cheek I suppose....but, name has had to be changed as Rize is copyrighted. Now called RZ. The 2009 model was 130mm, whereas the new models are RZ120 and RZ140.

The 4 comes with a Revelation fork, which is superb I must say.

Nice view. There were trees there not long ago. FC are cutting most of the pine down above Margam. Opens up a few more pieces of Single Track.
