I have a friend who has that frame and wants something else. He says it feels "floppy" in corners. I've ridden his bike in the street and it does handle rather strange but I can't pin point why...

A friend of mine rode for grassroots Cannondale last year and had an 09 Judge and a few things that bothered me were,1.Really cramped top tube.I'm 5'9'' and his bike was a medium and when i'd sit and pedal my knees would often hit the shifter/levers.2.If you don't wanna run the floating brake you have to buy new drop-outs,common I know,but still annoying.and 3.The decently high BB,I think it floated around 14.6-7''?He put a custom shortened DHX in it and dropped the BB,lengthened the wheelbase,and slacked the headangle...felt pretty good after that.
