Personally I’ve always been a little more of a fan of Cannondale. I know Trek makes great bikes, however, there is just something about Cannondale’s that I don’t think many manufacturers can duplicate. I have an earlier Aluminum Slice (05). Yes, I’m behind the times, but just to show their skill in bike making, my aluminum frame & carbon fork weighed in right around 2 Kg (I don’t remember exact weight) - after that, it’s all componentry. I just think they have that edge in making something a wee bit better. For me though, I wouldn’t mind the new Litespeed Blade, but then we’re talking boku bucks.
