Post up your white bikes
I am thinking of getting a CAAD9 frameset and am wondering if I should go with the white frame. Any have experiences with white? Is it always dirty and hard to keep clean? Any pics of the new cannondales?
Thanks

Throw the stick!!!!
I had problems with my white Fuji Team Issue (may she rest in peace) getting kind of a grimy type of a stain. I'm not real sure what caused it and it wasn't really noticable except when cleaning and examining it. No one I rode with ever noticed it.

I used to get that from the Michelin Axial Carbons... maybe the way it gripped bits of the pavement, maybe particles of the tire itself.

cleaning white is nice b/c you know when you're done at least. (granted, the bike was brand-new in this pic)

White bikes are the way to go, especially with white tape and saddle. I just order a white Bianchi. I'll post it up when I take pics.

white bikes are fine, obviously dirt is more visible than on a colored/black frame, but the euro factor can't be beat.

White is totally pro. My theory is that bikes should only be white, black, or bare aluminum. But preferably white. I want that Cannondale so bad.

It's a ***** keeping the fork and head/downtube just behind the front brake clean from all the brakedust; otherwise, it's not too bad and nothing a good wipedown and some Bike Lust can't take care of.

Stunning. I came sooooooooo close to choosing this frameset (decided I wasnt worthy). The Look 595 is peerless in style on the market right now. I am not entering into a debate I am stating FACT.
How does it ride? What did you have prior to this?

Thanks for the props! The bike ride fantastic....having said that my prior bike was a CAAD8 and it was pretty damn good as well. I've spent some quality time on a SystemSix and the two bikes handle very much the same. Laser like lines in the corners, stiff and very responsive yet compliant. Looks aside, if I had to pay retail I'd get the Six on performance. I paid significantly less for the LOOK than I would have paid for a Six. On sheer sexiness nothing really competes...some come close but I'm pretty biased about the looks of the LOOK!
