Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - New Road Bike

Well I did it I went to the store this morning and put a deposit down on a new road bike. I decided to go with the cannondale caad9 7 BBQ black. A lot of people said get the bike you fall in love with and this was the bike for me. No pictures right now but as soon as i get it they will be posted.

Sweet, and congrats! Feels great, doesn't it? :D

yeah i'm pumped, i was driving with my wife with eyes closed. (she was driving) and she said your day dreaming about riding your bike aren't you. i certainly was.

it actually inspired me enough to take my old bike out and attempt my first metric century tomorrow. I think it should not be a problem, it is a supported ride with rest stops and all the help I could ask for. I think it is also a great way to meet people from a local bike club and hook up with some other riders.

You are going to love the 9. It's the bike I would get if I was headed out of the door to get a new roadie.

Now you won't need a new bike for years. Every time you get the urge for a new one, just upgrade the group and you're good to go. It's an excellent frame.

well unfortunately it looks like my bike will not be here until mid january

Oh man, a wait like that would kill me. It looks like a nice bike though. :thumb:

I even asked to upgrade to the caad9 6 and the same wait would apply, my guy is gonna call his cannondale rep and see if he can twist his arm to get it by christmas

drats!

I hope the time passes quickly. I don't recall, how did the metric go?

no problems, it went well. I am going to do another on the "truck" that i'm riding now.

Arg, waiting for bike stuff is bad enough, but waiting on that beauty would try the patience of a monk, lol.

The Caad 9 is a great bike, so it is worth waiting for, but oh the torture of it all.

THE WAIT IS OVER, I got my bike this afternoon. When my wife gets home I will post the porn.

Good choice. I think that the Cannondale Alum bikes are great for clydes. I have an older one which I love.
