Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Oh yeah, I'm sure they do. But just coming from the side of aesthetics I think it would look much better with wheels that were thinner, maybe half of what they are. Cool colors though.

The stem and handlebar were the only cannondale-OEM parts I didn't change since they were the sizes I needed. I also wanted a more neutral looking bar/stem without too many labels to match this build.

About the wheels, I took a chance and ordered a set from a seller in China. I ordered 60s and 88s were delivered. Lol.
It did arrive in 5 days and was impressed with the finish and just decided to keep them. Plus, they refunded $75 to keep them so not bad for around $400.

What's up with those wheels? Do you try to ride them on windy days? I can picture a gusting 30 mph cross wind blowing you across the road into a car or if your lucky, into a ditch.

I posted my CAAD a while back. Still mostly the same. However, I just bought some Michelin Pro3 Race service course tires that do a good job of matching the pait.

I like that bike better than the ridley, is that weird?

I ordered wheels. 303's will not be that visually hot but will be much more functional for a 110 pound person who can only afford one nice wheelset.

I love Ridley Noah's - I think sometimes their paint jobs can be a bit busy though.

OT: My husband and I just watched an old episode of Iron Chef America where the secret ingredient was bacon. We were trying to figure out what you add to it to make it better, b/c it's already got bacon. Hmmmmm.

You guys are killing me with the Gulf colors. Even the Ducati is ugly as sin and it's a Ducati for crying out loud! I like orange and I like blue, but the blue is just too flat and the orange is too loud. Just looks feminine and goofy IMO. Please stop praising the ugly bike!

Not a big fan of C-Dales but this colorway is nice!!!
I'd buy a bike in these colors, I like how it reminds me of the Porsche, & Ford GT from "back in the days".:D

Can't decide if I love or hate the CAAD10. I think I love it, but damn that's deep for a front wheel.
