2011 CANNONDALE TRAIL SL 29'ER 2 X-LARGE FRAME

[TheBlitz1]

can that seat be ANY higher

[slimthuggles]

@TheBlitz1 yea maybe 2 inches more!!

[TheBlitz1]

@slimthuggles maybe if you took the seat off and stuck that pole up your butt it would stick out your nose

[slimthuggles]

@TheBlitz1 yea you try that let me know what it feels like :P

[TheBlitz1]

@slimthuggles feels good man

[slimthuggles]

@TheBlitz1 lol

Nice bike!

It's exactly what I want. I'm getting rid of my car - thanks to extortionate fuel & insurance prices. I'm 6'4" 17 Stone and I don't wanna look ridiculous on my new mode of travel :)

can you tell me if the frame was made in US? I know all the lower level Cannondales have been made overseas for several years but heard the higher priced bikes were still made in US?

[InferocitoMustang]

Your seat is even higher then mine :) I feel all the pressure on my hands. One problem is that I gain some weight :D

[slimthuggles]

@InferocitoMustang yea im 6'5 , it feels proportional now. about pressure an expert told methe reason one would feel it in the beginning is coz of no firm upper body strength but that after a few weeks of riding you will feel a chage especially the arms and shoulders

[InferocitoMustang]

I just want to ask you one question. I have Cannondale SL 4 XL and I am 6'4" tall ! What size steering wheel do you recommend ! I feel like this 680mm long wheel is a little bit to much ??

[slimthuggles]

@InferocitoMustang . hey 680mmX20mm is standard dimensions for the trail SL class. I thought it was alttiel to much but once you get it onto rough terrain or after a few hours of riding it gets to feel really good and firm

i just got a 29er, love the way it rides

[timekiller80]

I have the same bike! Awesome!!

[basstrom88]

I'm looking at getting one of these soon too, but a 26'. The component spec is just what I need and it seems like a light and durable setup. Ha ha the frame is so large that the 29' wheels are in proportion and it looks like a 26' bike

[slimthuggles]

@basstrom88 you wont be dissapointed. i still love my bike

[oneirishpoet]

@slimthuggles btw, how much did you pay for this bike?

[grnhell]

Nice bike! Probably grabbing one of those myself soon. Two things: take off those spoke reflectors and switch your music!

[kktubey]

got the sl2 with the standard size wheels back in august.cool bike.do you feel the benifit of the 29r's?

[slimthuggles]

@kktubey ... 29er feels easier and slightly faster. and control feels sharper

[sheed1]

how tall are you? Im 6'5'' and looking at getting this bike or a aluminum lefty

[slimthuggles]

@sheed1 . my bike has the x-large frame. im 6'6. the bike is the perfect size for me

[patriot6157]

@sheed1 ahhhhhhhh cat wait till i get mie this week im 6'5

[slimthuggles]

trying to swap audio but no music Fazer" pretty sweet on yahoo

[YodaPala]

not trying to tell you what to like but the forgotten band from the early 90's Quicksand is pretty good. Sounds like Tool and The offspring mixed together.

Check ou the song "Fazer" pretty sweet.

[YodaPala]

may I make a suggestion?

[slimthuggles]

@YodaPala yea sure give me nay suggestions ??
