My new bike for 2008, first new bike I've bought since, well, before Cannondale made bikes.



52 cm, Ritchey stem, will use mavic crit bars (not 3ttt which is on for training), and not keeping the wheels (will use Reynolds DV46T and hopefully some carbon clinchers, currently shod with neither - Campy + FiR Zenith). The wheels were on the bike to hold it off the floor.

I cut the "shot glass" bit off the fork (above the stem). The "shot glass" is the stack of spacers (40 mm) provided with the bike. I'll be using 0 mm.

I thought I wouldn't like the seat but I like it. Will need a zero setback post.

Coming off of a Giant TCR carbon (Record and other Campy) this bike is a nice surprise. Seems a lot more responsive, will do some tests on a Computrainer this weekend, Cannondale vs Giant.

SRM is still too much for this feeble mind to figure out. I have yet to download a second of data and I have 8 or 9 hours on it. lol.
