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

Proverbial New Bike Post

So after ordering my Cannondale CAAD9-5 on Feb 27th it finally arrived on April 2nd. I've been to busy riding to post a picture of it. Hopefully I have not broken any BF protocols with this pic, sorry the garage door isn't white I hope grey will do. Also, I'm happy with the fit so to get it out of the way, I won't be flipping it.

Without further ado my first proper road bike

Almost perfect, but the seat bag kills it. Just kidding, great looking bike, glad you're riding the heck out of it.

Seeing a CAAD9 with negative saddle to bar is just wrong. Flip it

What can I say I'm disproportionate for 5'6", maybe when I get some more miles down and a little more flexible I'll flip it

Proverbial - that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Nice ride though.

Nice looking rig. Some schnazzy white cages would really spruce it up.

Correct me if I am wrong but based on the saddle height the frame looks like it might too big. What size is the frame?

You can't tell without seeing the rider on it.
