Cannondale Killer V
After years of riding my hardtail down the trail of the North Shore, I have finally made the move to upgrade to a full suspension bike. It is not that my Cannondale KillerV could not take it anymore, it is more like I can not take it anymore. My wrists, knees and ankles often got sore from the pounding they took with little to no suspension. The bike held up fine, doing jumps, drops and stunts without ever breaking down.
This is a picture of the bike that I have been riding up until now (Feb 2003) Of course this is the picture from the cannondale site so in reality my bike looks a little different. I have upgraded the tires, pedals, added a rear disc brake, lights, removed the big chain ring, replaced both the front and back rims (many times), replaced the front brakes with xt components, and then add about 5 pounds of mud.
The bike that I have been riding since is a 2002 Specialized Big Hit Comp.
