Hey Mike , this is John who bought your Cannondale from you , my son took it on its first ride and the front forks are absolutely seized , we took it to the R2R shop at sunpeaks and he said the rebound dampener is probably seized . You mentioned to me that it was stiff because of your set up which is not right . Is there anything you will do for me on this because now i feel like i have been dooped .Let me know cause im kinda pissed . You told me the bike was perfect and i took your word on it .
