Spoke to a dealer today. Oiz delivery is May 2021 now.
I am test riding a Spark RC and a Blur next weekend. I also have first dips on a Epic Evo expert. Decisions decisions. Both the Blur and Spark are older designs, but proven. And have always had a soft spot for Santa Cruz
I like the Scalpel too, but the Cannondale specific stuff puts me off slightly. Same to a degree with the brain.
