Ok, Im like a kid with a new toy, yes I suffer from that Peter Pan syndrome, but enough about that.
This Thursday my new bike arrived, '01 Cannondale R800, I bought it on E-bay, and I feel I got a good deal.
It was a little cold to ride this morning, so Im waiting (impatiently) for it to warm up.
Bike porn to follow!!

I like them because the dont have any fool with adjustments, they have a decent amount of float and i pinched them from my mountain bike, Im looking for another pair so I dont have to swap peddles back and forth. And I guess, I just dont see the rational in having shoes for different bikes. (OK Im cheap too!)

Thanks, yes I think we have some here, and Im not convinced that these slicks will grip but we will see.

Wow - I really like that blue color. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy your new scoot. Don't push it if your not feeling well. I know that I would have to take the bike out for a run regardless of the cold or how I felt, but then again - I'm not that smart!

Very nice scoot!!

The wheels appear to be the same color as the frame. Is that an optical illusion, did they come that way or did the previous owner match them? No matter what it looks good.
