from diff. angles....
Isabel necessary on a bike?
I swapped to a Deore shifter as the stock Sram has a 1:1 actuation ratio but the Shimano Rear Deraileur is 2:1
I like Moss.

I like the red dots too. And the red bar tape. And the red tires. And the red cages. Where did you find that chain stay protector? Nice looking bike.

Ditch the handlebar tape. Get some lock-on grips! I've used thick handlebar tape on flat bars. It works but grips work better.
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!

Also, very nice pictures!
Straighten up that bell. We don't want to see the bolts and brackets!

Forgot to mention, great backgrounds! Can you go back at night and shoot with flash?

The chain stay protector is a Cannondale genuine product. I bought it at my local MTB shop for about $11us.
Since the beginning of this year we've been getting so many incredible looking Cannondale accessories here in Japan.

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.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I probably used bar tape on flat bars for the same reason, limited space. I was kinda joking about shooting with flash, you don't really need to do that for my sake! I just wanted to see the polka dots glow.
The reflective yet hard to see in daytime graphics are cool. I had a Kona with glow in the dark decals and the grips glowed too. Not practical, like reflective decals, the glow in the dark did not provide illumination, I only really noticed the glow when I brought the bike indoors at night, but it was a kinda cool if whimsical feature of that bike.

That's really a GREAT looking bike ---- very unique.... I like the tape, as it seems to fit the theme.........
Looks like the Cannondale dealer is due for a visit, to see about that chainstay protector ----- wonder if they come in black**********?

To be perfect, it needs red dots on the chainrings. You are very very close.

Great pic. We don't have too many cows around here. Just rice fields.

I am allergic to cellphones that cost more than $100 so the camera on it isn't great.
Taking my actual camera with me while riding isn't an option either, so it'll have to do.

Talldog...Panasonic LX5 held low (knee level) in right hand set to f2.8, 24mm and shutter speed of 1/25. As for the saddle, if Brooks made one with bigger springs than my Champion Flyer I would probably look into getting one. Its the most comfortable saddle I've ever had.

ha ha ha, no.
I did swap those wheels over to a set of shimanos with no reflectors, and got hit two nights later by a motorbike. Sadly that was the end of my Giant, BUT hellllloooo, Cannondale.
