Not a new bike, but some fairly important changes. New rims (H Plus Son Archetypes), and shifting and braking is now with 2nd-gen Rival instead of Ultegra 6700. New saddle too, but who cares about that? Obviously outfitted more for training than racing, but the only real difference is that I'll lose the seat bag and lights. Photo is a little crummy, since my light went away.

Thanks. The hubs are Chris King R45s. Glad to hear you've had good luck with them. I'm replacing my Kinlins with these, it'll be great if they turn out to be similarly durable. They felt pretty good on my ride, light and snappy. Nice smooth ride quality, too, though that's more down to spoke count.

is it a big deal to have really good handlebar and stem? ie really stiff and light
also, how are the pf30 frames being fitted with shimano grouppos? Do they use praxis, mfg, or some other adaptive BB to get the axle diameter down to 24mm?
trying to find parts for my first build. pretty much got it figured out except for these two things. but not going order the stem until I fit the saddle and match the handlebar position with my current fit.
also, a new set of brake pads (like from an ultegra brake) can be used on carbon rims if they're new, right? or are there special carbon brake pads out there with less abrasive additives or whatever that I gotta put on to make sure I don't strip the graphite braking surface? don't want to spend a few more hundred on training wheels when I already have carbon tubulars. and if I do, they'd probably be cheap Chinese carbon clinchers from yoeleo or something. I just don't want to change brake pads.. pain in the ass.

Your first question is stupid. Buy what you can afford. Contact points are important from the fit perspective. Fit is most important.
Your second question, there are a few alternatives. A special BB or adapters.
Your third question, you can use any brake pad on a carbon rim, it just depends on whether you care about stopping or not. Carbon specific pads generally do not work well on aluminum rims, plus there's the contamination factor. I have carbon rims on the race bike and use Swiss Stop Black Prince. They are expensive though. I got my carbon clincher training wheels from carbon cycles. I have been very pleased with them so far.

Taking your bike to the hood and getting picks next to graffiti is a nice touch. I should do that but as soon as the pic snaps I'm throwing the bike in the Mercedes and gunning it out of there...
Also, ++ cus its black, and ++ cus its a Cannondale

Just curious on why a Colnago TT bike? Is there any data on that frame? Sure it looks cool but how does it compare to a P5, D6, IA, Shiv, etc. If I'm going to drop $10k on a TT I want a fast one. Not ripping on it just haven't seen a info on that bike. It looks awesome though.
