Also, I resent the "numpty at Halfords" comment. I'm sure that some stores do have a few "numpties" working at them, but at my last store nearly every member of the cycles staff rode pretty frequently, and knew their way round a bike better than some independent shop staff I've met.
Instead of calling them numpties, how about saying what was wrong with the staff? Halfords can't exactly improve standards if all they've got to go on is, "the guy that served me/built my bike is a numpty!"
I have worked in Halfords (yes, there's a slight conflict of interest there :D) and the main problems I've seen with these have been fork issues (which would be rockshox's problem! And always fixed pretty sharpish) and I've seen two bikes with a cracked pivot, but from the customers own description, they were after some hefty abuse.
I had a cannondale full sus had it five years 2300 pounds worth.
I nailed my mates boardman comp FS round the west highlands for 140 miles.......
Cannondale has now gone and I own a comp fs. The frame is great so is the gear on it.
can't see why people knock them chris boardman knows his stuff and oversees all new models and has major input.
The frames are hand finished....and if you work out the RItchey wheels and finishing kit to buy on there own your looking at big money along with the rock
GREAT VIDEO!!

As a side note, they don't fall apart.
