Caad8
Here is my ride, Cannondale CAAD8. Image taken during a ride through Scottsdale, AZ. Eventually I'll get a few better parts on it but for now it rides great.

It only takes a few minutes to clean up a bike after a ride.
When you spend some coin on a tool, it pays to take care of it. I keep my hammers clean too, even though I use them to beat things.

This is an 52cm 06 Fetish Cycles Penna. Setup for a short, round, oddly proportioned person. I owed you all a new picture now it's finally completely comfortable for me.

As per usual, my road bike is cooler than I am. I have a Spot (yes, the singlespeed mountain company) road bike. A looong time ago, the old owners had a few road bikes made and I got one. That fact and the super cool Spectrum paint job makes me look fast, even if I'm not. Hmm I should go take some pics.

Yeah. Kills me how "beater bike" is used to describe bicycles that look like they've been hermetically sealed since new. I see many Seven's, Cervelo's, Serotta's in my work that are so pristine I wonder if their owners really ride them, or just spend their free time detailing them as though they were show pieces only to be moved by gloved caretakers.
I do race about every other weekend or so and put on 16-20+ hours a week training on that very bike. It is my only roadbike and I literally beat on it everyday, although I do wipe it down, clean and oil it every chance I get. The hours on it will be slightly less when I get my TT bike because I will ride it at least 2 times a week.

Well the wait (for me) is over! Here's a pic of the Caad9 I picked up last night. I put just under 3 miles on it first thing this morning and boy do I love it... This is my first road bike but I do have a few mountian bikes in the garage.
'08 R6 Caad9 frame with a full 105 group, and Reynolds Alta Comp wheels. The wheels and components are a take off from an '09 Kuota, the owner who bought the Kuota wanted full Campy before he took it home so I got a great deal.
Here she is:

I scream for ice cream.
yeah, i ride my Time often, and usually at least take the wheels off and clean everything every other ride. it only takes a half hour or so-- easy to do and watch the news or some tv show. it's not like washing and waxing a car every day.

Can I ask what tipped you over to the Elite?
I rode the regular last weekend. Liked how it felt. Did not like the components. To jump to Sport, I get 105 throughout.
What are the big gains from Sport to Elite?
