Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That is one sweet Cannondale.

Is that a 48cm S2? How hard is it get the bottles out?
I really want an S2 or S3. I'd be riding a 48cm and a little worried that I might have to go with side-release bottle cages.

It's a 48, it's not that easy for her to get the bottles out of the cages. We sort-of solved it by buying some Tacx bottles. (16oz) The rear is easy to remove, but there's a bit of difficulty getting the front one out.

We also got some Idio Carbon Bottle Cages. The arms are really flexy, so now both front and back are very easy to remove. You'd need 16oz bottles regardless, the frame is just too small to hold regular sized ones.

First of all, both of those bikes are gorgeous. Congrats.

Mind if I ask the specs. on the cervelo? Specifically, the wheels. Thanks in advance.

Would be better if you swapped the Team stem for the Pro.
