Re: MB Suggestions Around $500

NO Taiwan made crap equals a quality American bike. My bikes are
Lemond Buenos Aires (made in USA) rides far better than any aluminum
chinee garbage. I have a '98 Cannondale F400 that is great for a MTB
and a C'dale XR800 'cross. There are two types of cyclists- Those who
ride Cannondale and those who wish they did. I challenge you to find a
made in taiwan bike better than an American built one. I havent been
able to and back it up with my bike $$$. Once the OP rides his new
C'dale he will understand.
