I dig the red tires and I've never seen the camo Cannondale mark. That alone sets your bike apart from any I've seen but the other details even more so. Thanks for the close ups!
The handlebar tape is an experiment at the moment for me. I did go to the MTB shop and found the perfect set of lock-ons. Black with red annodised locking rings and the New York skyline in the actual grip. A number of factors are standing in my way right now from buying them. Main reasons are the bar-ends which I want to keep on and space on the handlebars. Although it was suggested to cut the grips, I'd rather wait until I work out a cleaner solution.
The Cannondale decals are also reflective at night. I took the pic from an angle so the sun would show the writing, but in normal light it's actually difficult to see.
The garden in the background is my front entrance. I only own a mobile phone camera, so the flash option unfortunately would come out like poo poo. I'll borrow a better camera and try a night shot.
Thankyou to all of you for your nice and helpful comments.
