Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You should be looked at by other newbies with AWE!

Nice bike. Get some dirt on those shoes quick.

Tits...definitely tits.

While your at it, if you happen to like watching car racing, I'm pretty sure you can pick up a nice used formula 1 car on ebay...you know, just to start with.

very nicely done. The only thing about starting out with something like that is that it costs even more to upgrade!

Did you steal those shoes from Reno Hightower?

Regardless, that's one fine bike

Its a CAAD7 SI unless he got one of the extremely (extremely!) rare CAAD8 SI frames. Its the last all-aluminum frame C'dale mass-produced with the BB30. Crit-monkies will fight for this frame, I'm not even joking.

That looks like an 03-04 Caad 7 Saeco team color. I could be wrong about that, but I remember in early 04 when I bought my left over 03 caad 7 in black and orange they had that bike and it was one of the higher end models for that year. I think they even did an Si crank with gold chain rings for the team bike that year too. Looks good though, I just don't understand the Bontrager stem, it's a Cannondale, don't put Trek junk on it! jk, it's your bike do what you want with it, and most of all, enjoy it. It's a Cannondale, it'll be hard not to.
