I like it but it seems something's missing...
Blue cables maybe?
Some sort of something blue on seat/bars?
Blue skewers would look good.

very much NOT!

Hot !

IMO, its not a matter of something missing. Its a matter of it already being overdone. The blue tires make it look tacky. a bike that is by all means sexy but the way it stands in this picture is as a not for me.

I think I agree with this.... The bike is already very busy as it is.... I think the color just adds to the mess of what's going on.... I think it will soon go back to a bit more stealthier mode.

Oh and I do like the Williams 30s very much, I'm going to try something new though very soon.

I was also asked about the blue stripe, that is pin stripe tape, and will also be coming off ;-)

How difficult is it to remove some of the name logos? Cannondale is huge and no need for three versions of it per side.

I'd like to see that bike with black tires but leave the blue pinstripe on. I like the idea of a little accent. maybe if the tape was thinner it would be a little more subtle?

Yea sadly this is the raw carbon frame and I don't think I can get any of the logos off... If I could I certainly would.

Hot!! Tell us more about the bike. The paint looks original.

because it is a brand new bike :)

Hot! I know to each their own, but I love the blue tires! And the black bar tap keeps the subtlety level down a bit - blue or white would be too much. As an aside, how do you like those wheels? I've been comtemplating those or the 19's as I'm fairly light.

I like it....I would leave like this for the season and enjoy the colour and then over the off season I'd switch out the tires and maybe try a different colour accent or thinner pin stripe. The accent colour looks good to me.

The blue stripe is covering an existing white stripe so I am not sure if a thinner stripe would work. But who knows doesn't hurt to give it a shot. I'd bet this would be a little better if the Williams didn't have so much lettering going on, but I don't want to remove the logos :-/

+1 CDale seems to overdo it on decals.

Thinner tape(1/2 width), cut it off @ the Top tube, let it run the full length of the TT.

Agreed.
Ride it as is, wear out the tires too, I like them, they draw attention to your rims.
Heck I run white/black tires on my white/black/grey bike. It doesn't belong in this thread, but I will post it somewhere in the 41...
:innocent:

HAWT! I like it. I like bikes that don't look like 1000 other people have. If I saw this rolling down the road it would turn my head!

:twitchy:

I think the old beast looks fairly decent these days, what do you think?

Frame too large.

seriously?

either that or you have really short legs with a really long torso.

Hot!
