I caught the Optimo sticker on the bottom of the seat tube...

Great job, Tom. Amazing triple on that thing, bike can go anywhere. Weight for acceleration and climbing, gearing for anywhere.
I have to agree with the other posters, Cannondale has really listened and took the R series through definite improvement with the CAAD's.
Not only that, they kept the prices down, enough so that locals here are willing to drive a couple of hours to get one.

khatfull first turned me on to the improvements, and since whatwolf continues to torture me with those black Eurus, I'll swing Shimano back at her....
I know this bike is not C&V but it's fun, 16.73 lbs (w/o bag and pedals), and was originally built by BF member High Fist Shin, a real master.
