I cracked one of the seatstays on my 2005 Lemond Versailles and swapped the parts onto the 2007 Buenos Aires frame. I would like to put on a new wheelset and switch to a compact drivetrain (the front derailleur is much trouble), but finances make that somewhat of a dream.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Thanks -- twilight does a lot for making better pictures.
I did another one to put the Jefferson Memorial in the middle of the bike frame. You can kinda see the "Handmade in USA" sticker, which is cool; but, to keep with the theme of the pic, I avoided the prominent Shimano logo on the rear wheel right next to the seatstay..

Only critique: drive train side, pedals lined with chain stay, lose the dork disk/bottle/seat bag (for the picture), and 53-12
Other than that, I really like the pic. (suggestions would make it perfect)

That was just how I parked it, and I thought it looked better facing into the sun;
They're misaligned on purpose to better show both the the smaller "Cannondale" sticker on the chainstay and the names on the crank;
Eh, didn't even think of those.. ;
Dude, coming back home up Capitol Hill would smoke me.. lol
*edit* Ah, I see what you mean.. yeah, didn't think to shift to 53-12, either.
I'll take another pic, just for you, when I get around to it.

Actually, I ended up flipping it last night after getting some more advice at the shop. Felt a lot better on my back on the Point tonight, and I'll see if it helps on another route later this week.
And take those bottle cages off your Scott...
Actually, I might bring mine down to Dallas later this month during our State Fair gig. It'd be a shame to spend this much (it's a lot for me) on a bike and not use it for three weeks.

Six days a week (every day but Wednesday) doing concerts at Marine Corps Square at 4 PM, then leading off the Starlight Parade before we bail for the night.
Good stuff; I'll take my Wii and the bike, and keep myself occupied in my off time.. lol
