Hardtail for GF  - seems like a good swap!

 That would have been, Hardtail for Ex Wife

Rob, thanks for that.I totally agree some of the paint jobs on WSBs are patronising with pink frames and flowers.

My LBS has taken delivery this week of the Mens 2010 Cannondale SL2 and the Orange G3, so we're going there on Saturday so my GF can try them both out  on advise from this thread  I'm really hoping she'll like the SL2 as that seems to be my favorite too.

Looking at the Geometry figures in the Cannondale book, there is very little difference in the frame sizes on the smaller bikes, the differences are more noticeable on the larger frames. My LBS has already said he will be more than happy to help us with changing the stem and saddle at probably no cost or very little depending on what we change them to.

Thanks Again to everyone for the advise.
