Hey folks, I am thinking about buying a 2007 Cannondale Rush 5 with a Lefty fork. My question is, is the Lefty fork the Manitou, or Fox fork on the 2007? Would anyone buy this bike, it is in the $500 dollar range? Thanx for your help.

I think he's referring to the internals of the lefty.
Some have Manitou SPV cartridge dampers; others had Fox internals.

For a 5 though, i'd expect it to be bottom end, and neither of these...

i think it would be fair to say that any lefty troubles would come from cartridges but from migrating bearing races.
