System Six 4, Sram Rival. The shop said it was the last one off the line for that particular model. The only proof I have is my Cannondale headtube badge is upside down...sort of an homage from the workers or something
. I've ridden about 30 miles on it and decided I want to ride classic road bikes. Cost me $2,400. I'm in the midst of selling it. I hope to get a bit more of it since it's a 2008 model and the last year they were made before Cannondale replaced it with the bloody "Six".
So I've collected almost all of DA 7400 8 speed and I'm just looking for a frame for it. I desperately want a Bridgestone RB-1, or a Panasonic, since they're Japanese (and so is Shimano...yes I'm one of those people...).
Please don't tell me to keep the Cannondale, I feel like a real ass on it. It's so "fancy" and it's just not me.
I contacted
www.yellowjersey.org in Madison Wisconsin who has an account with Panasonic and they want $1,800 bucks for a frame!
So I paid a visit to Yojimbo's Garage run by Marcus (great fellow), and he had a Fuji he was dying to get rid of with a 1" threadless stem and a horrible (to me) paintjob. He said he'd give me the frame alone for about $350ish, and with the massive money I saved I could repaint it anyway I want and get a threaded straight fork I wanted.
EDIT: Maybe YellowJersey would consider a trade...
