If it works for you then go with it but.....I would definetly get rid of those wheels and that fork sometime down the road they are both JUNK but since all the manufacturers started putting the lower ended stuff on most all their bikes with the advent of the downturn in the economy its no wonder they left you with those components. Upgrade this one to a 9 speed at some point. Brakes up to the BB7 maybe and any 100mm fork should be fine, Rock shox Dart III maybe. Ride what you have before you go throwing hundreds of dollars at a bike that barely cost over $500 as it is. Money would be better spent on a better equipped bike in the longrun!

Need advice...Cannondale F600 vs Specialized Stumpjumper Mountainbike?

Hi,

Admittedly a bit new to the bike scene, but I have a chance to purchase either of these. The F600 is $400 and the Stumpjumper is also $400.

Stumpjumper:
27 SPEED, IT'S FULL XTR COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE HUB, SIZE. 19.5 RAPID FIRE SHIFTERS NEW SADDLE.

Cannondale F600:
2002 model
pare set of tires (mud, dirt), the tires whcih are on now are brand new, ridden once. Shimano SPD pedals, freshy serviced front suspension. Brandnew saddle.

I am hoping to do some long rides, 40-50 miles (long for me haha).

Any feedback much appreciated :)

Thanks.

Are you planning to ride on roads only? If so, you'd probably be better served by a road bike. Suspension isn't of much use when riding on pavement. I can't offer much help choosing between the two. Used bikes can be a bargain or not. They often need much maintenance, especially the drive train.
If you know someone that knows something of bicycles, take him along to look at the bikes. It's very important that a bike fits you, so, there again, if you can, take a knowledgeable person with you to check the fit. If you do get a mountain bike to ride exclusively on roads, think about replacing the tires with "street" tires.
