guess i've never seen one of those up close and in person, or paid attention to previous posters pics, because the madone-esque psuedo fairing on the seat tube comes as a surprise.
nice ride, btw.

That is one SWEET looking Cannondale! I like how the CF pattern on the rank matches the frame! Very nice.

How do you like the Aliante saddle? I have a friend who insists it the most comfortable saddle made.

She sure is pretty.
Did you have to include the pool in your pic? It was in the 5-'s when I left the house this morning.

When I first looked at the full image of the bike I thought it had fenders!
Looks fast.
Those hoods are in an interesting position....cocked high.

Sweet - I rode one of those a while back. Its the most stable road bike I've ever ridden - corners very well - very predictable.
Look forward to checking it out on our BF ride.
