I think the frame looks good. Heat tube is a bit tall, and a long stem on the top can make it seem a little goofy, but whatever. If you're setting it up for your comfort, then my aesthetic opinion is irrelevant to the overall goal. Modern Cannondales handle well in my opinion. And if this is anything like my CAAD10 Disc, then it's more long distance rocket than criterium fighter jet. The carbon fork should be fine. It ain't steel that's for sure, but it also isn't a disc fork which is even stiffer. I think that bike is going to rock.
Thank`s. I hope it rocks. It wont be built super weight weenie. It will have Ultegra 6600 10 speed Flight Deck Sti levers,derailleurs and brakes. Alloy short drop bars, not sure what stem I will end up with. Alloy seat post with a Selle Itallia Flite saddle. Cannondale Si compact crankset. Ultegra hubs laced to Velocity Escape tubular rims with an Ultegra 10 speed cassette. That is what I have on hand anyway. I can always upgrade it another day if I wish. It was top of the line in 2012. If I am going to try it, I may as well go big.
