Looking for some solid black pedals, haven't found anything that's caught my eye yet.

I apologize for the lack of tire/stem alignment—I might actually just deflate the damned thing and move it. Oh well.

Sorry. Long stem + saddle slammed back, methinks that frame is perhaps a size too small for you. Also, uncut steerer = sternum breaker. Also also, pretty terrible background.

Very possibly! I've just got it; haven't changed anything out yet. Feels pretty comfortable, but I've got to spend more time with it.
(And yeah—that background ain't great, is it?)

I'm running an SI on my Black Inc CAAD, came with some FSA rings which I switched out for Cannondale. I'm weird like that, I don't like my bike to cross-dress.

Got from Online Swap Meet; old bike got wrecked in a car accident and I absolutely love the frame so I jumped on it. I might change the cranks eventually, but they feel fine for now. (I might also just see if acetone takes the lettering and details off.) Will probably get praxis rings in future, at least. In the mean time, I'm pretty poor, so I'll try and keep out of this thread 
.
EDIT: apparently the acetone might be a bad idea, so I'll look into other ways of doing it.
EDIT 2: I'll think about the steerer tube thing; that's not a bad point. I just don't want to cut it before I'm sure of the height I want. For reference, @k_kibbler's comment made me realize that my old quill stem is probably why my sternum is still messed up from my accident, and is kind of motivating me to figure that height out quickly...

You'll notice that that, at least, is not on the new bike.
