With the help of homeowners insurance I managed to get myself the newest version from Cannondale - the Gemini 2000.  I got an extra large as I always felt my large Gemini 1000 was a tad too small.  I'm almost 6' 3" and weigh around 170, and the extra large seems about right.  The suspension seems about right for my weight too.  The paint job, if you want to call it that is pretty cool, although I liked the blackness of my 1000 more.  Mine came with the "Gemini Girls" emblem, something I guess you have to specifically request NOT to have.  It's ok, but would've preferred to leave the "Girls" at home in Connecticut.  I have to say that the suspension that this bike comes with is SWEET compared to my 1000.  The SPV deal really seems to work.  I get ZERO pedal bob when seated, even when really grinding up hills.  When you get out of the saddle and crank you'll get some bob front and back, but that's to be expected.  The nearly 7" inches of travel (front & rear) is very smooth.  It's been fun demonstrating the incredible suspension to neighbors and friends by letting them ride straight into and up a curb while fully seated (not sure this is a standard test over at Cannondale...).  Both the front and rear travel is adjustable.  The front is adjustable by hand simply by flicking the black lever on the left fork tube.  By applying pressure the forks will lock down to 130 mm or pop up to 170 mm.  EASY!  My old Rock Shox Psylo's required cranking, which was ok, but flicking the lever is better (the Psylo's were too flexy also).  The rear can be adjusted between 150 mm or 170 mm, which requires a hex tool.  The Manitou Breakout Plus w/SPV EVOLVE with 1.5" steerer handles the action up front while the Manitou Swinger SPV 4-Way Coil handles the rear.  Both are ultra adjustable so you can fine-tune your ride.  Hayes Mag w/8" rotors provide the hydraulic stopping power.  I had the Hayes 8" disks on the Gemini 1000 and had no complaints so I expect to be pleased with these too.  One finger stopping power for sure.
