Well after what seems like forever, the 22nd is the date of arrival for my shiny new Cannondale Flash 29er, since I ordered it the date has changed 6 times, but hopefully tomorrow will finally be the day, to say I can’t wait is an under statement, first new mtb in 4 years, ans just what’s want for xc races after a year off due to illness.

The silence from the supplying shop is a worry though, I have a funny feeling it won’t turn up…….Again…..

Nice bike, be worth it when it does, just make sure your legs are up to it!

Let’s hope so, spent the winter on the road bike, as the ministry of fun and finance insisted I flog bikes to fund it! So lots of turbo time, and it’s my first proper go at the vets category in regional races, I’m just hoping what I have done will justify it, but if not I don’t care it’s mine, all mine……

Nice one, enjoy.

I might be able to help, drop me an email, address in profile.

Stylish I’m in the Sam boat as you
Bike ordered November 2012. Told arrival today.

Fingers crossed!!

It’s most likely here….

I really want one of those, but my results place me firmly on my nine year old hardtail. 😥

You underestimate the power that a new bike can have 😀

Any news stylish? I’ve not heard anything as yet.

Would love to be able to have free reign in that warehouse!!!!

Keeps fingers crossed.

It’s in transit, which is good, but it won’t be in the shop until Monday, so I can’t race it on Sunday…..But finally it’s in the uk and by this time next week it will be mine…..

Don’t worry about results and an old bike, I figured I work hard, and should enjoy the benefits of something new for my move jo too veterans…..

They look great, though I’ve not had a test ride, I’d still have one at a drop of a hat. Though priority is;
Road race bike
Road training bike,
Cross racing bike,
MTB.
I’ll probably end up with a XTC 29er, [mate in the trade]

Better get some pics up when it arrives.

Once it’s here pictures will follow, it’s down for Monday delivery, which is a pain as I’m back at work, sadly the supplying shop is only a mile away, so I can certainly see an afternoon site visit coming on…….

Few little bits to be done when it’s home, just to add the personal touch, and then it will be ready to race.

And I have to say thanks again to kongman 28 for the help.
