What road bike do you have?

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

Very nice... Clearly you have had some coaching on staging your bike for this thread. Though missed a couple things. Big chainring. Welcome to the Bike forums!

Edit: Wrong thread, thought this was hot or Not. Nvm the Big ring comment. Well done!

I think sticking with the feminine references is just fine with me. ;-)
I could see George Michael saying this, if he were a cyclist, that is.

Personal reasons, but the bike hasn't been ridden once. Literally, brand new.

Don't want to jack this thread. If you have a q, please PM me. Thx

Not sure what you mean by "*Brand New - Full Warranty*", but if this is a personal purchase, you might want to read the Cannondale limited warranty (not transferable).

I'll give ya ten bucks for it, since it has no warranty and all.

Oh, a size 54? Never mind, too small.

Thanks. I think you are correct about having it on the big chainring, though. Also, I should have removed the computer.

^ The Germans make some pretty good-looking bicycles. I actually think a majority of their line look really nice.

+1, I am sure you have different reasons. But for me, it just seems like every company is so willing to throw that crank on and it kills otherwise perfectly matched groups. Not that it's a bad crank or FSA is bad, I just hate how many of them there are.

I think if the chainrings were black it wouldn't look that bad. The bike is sweet by the way.

Yes Drak: The bike is awesome. UCI just brought up something I have been thinking a long time but they seem to be the go to crank for pimp ass bikes so what do I know.

That Arsis MS is great stuff actually. Not bad looking and crazy inexpensive compared to Shim and Sram.
