I was looking for some accessories today, and found myself admiring some race Carbon wheels on a Cannondale. Asked the owner how much for it (the bike)he said 4000.00 dollars, 
thought that was a deal.. Then he said that's for the wheels, they don't go with the bike. I asked how much for the bike, 12,000 dollars, (16,000.00 total for a USED Cannondale) 
IT WAS HOT !

who cares if you can actually ride it. Bikes are art not transportation. and by art I mean fashion which is decided by very few. So in conclusion. Flip it, slam it and cut that steerer tube down. WTH is wrong with you?

In any case, E, I have the same frame, but am thinking about a different customization project. Can you tell me - and apparently, everyone in this thread - where you had the decals made, how you did the design, etc?
Thanks!

I made the designs in CorelDRAW, referencing images from the web and doing a lot of measurements on the actual bike, then I auditioned the design using Photoshop. When I was satisfied with the final design I had them cut on vinyl in an arts supply store nearby that also do custom car decals.

Not to mention the positive-angled stem.
Sorry, would have been hot, but it's a NOT for me.

The background doesn't help. For a picture of a bike, white garage door > Porsche.

Yeah...definitely a not. I'm not sure what "one flaw" you see, but the stem and stack height plus the background....white garage door is much better than the over compensating.

I posted my bike a while back but this is a much better photo
note i clone stamped out the spacer on top of my stem (10mm spacer) because I'm still playing with the fit
my plans for this bike are a longer stem and shorter reach bars. i think a 3t arx pro would match nicely
maybe an aero wheelset later in the season if I can find the money

looks pretty sweet, not to many decals and a very sharp saddle you must feel every bump with that!
