Aren't they closer to $1700?

I would have to say that's the first time I've ever heard a Cannondale referred to as a turd.

The Blue Banana

Turd is a term of endearment... I love the bike, the 85 sr300 is the only cannondale to come in this color, its a definitely a cool bike.

I wouldn't **** you, you're my favorite turd!

Love the chrome finish.

Elduderino2412

Nice. Some old school looking bar tape would look really cool on there.

I just got my first real road bike (had a GMC Yukon), but I now have a Specialized Secteur Compact.

Is it me or does that handlebar look massive compared to the rest of the bike?

Im about to do the same. What was the transition like? Was it as different as you were expecting?

Elduderino2412

they usually do in pics. Cameras distort the handlebars a little, b/c they are closer than any other part of the bike to the lens.

Well I don't feel like a tool now when I go on group rides with ''real'' cyclists. Even though nobody has said anything I would still feel like the ugly duckling.

Strictly from a 'bike feel' standpoint, theres not much difference IMO.I have a carbon fork which may make the ride a tad smoother.
However when you consider I went from a 39/50 front and 14-28 7 spd rear (30 pound bike) to a 50/34 and 12-28 8 spd (21ish pound bike) There is a significant difference in my ability to climb.
I also just bought clipless road pedals (from platforms) and now it's totally different.

I think any bike will feel different than your current bike. Im not super picky about little differences. However I will say that this bike has less random noises and creaks as my yukon.

And the paintjob is totally sweet!

Hey,
First of all I'd like to inform you that I'm from Poland and I'd like to apologize you for my possible language mistakes
I've found my bike in the basement because I decided to ride a little during this summertime. It turned out to be a quite vintage Cannondale, so I decided to identify it - there's a lot of Cannondale bikes that look simillar (M-XXX series) but I cannot find exactly the same one. Can you help me with it?

I've attached the pic of my bike.

Updated my Parlee just a bit...ditched all the blue accents and the dark black felt bar tape...switched to gumwalls....contemplating another upgrade to go Dura Ace 9070...

PatrickGSR94

that looks sick man, love the gumwalls.

Kingshead

YOWZAAAA, really like the accent of the gumwalls.

cmc0108

I normally hate gum walls, but it fits perfectly on your bike.

martinus

lol, thats one of the few bikes gum/skin wall looks good on ... ofcourse now, the blk/wht saddle needs to go.
