The Cannondale Quick 3 looks like an awesome bike. Their website has the 2011 model on it, of course. But your bike will be very similar, I expect.
Nice low gearing, particularly the front chainrings.
Cassette could be a little lower, but is OK if you are not in a hilly area like Seattle, or Colorado.
I really think the 700 x 32 Continental tires are excellent.
I hope it fits you well.
I have had a Cannondale since April '09 and it has been excellent. Good customer service at the bike store too.

Enjoy riding.
I need to get off the computer right now and get out for a ride.
