classic...
better background would bring out the bike.
over all the photo not very well staged.

not digging the seatpost and stem.

an aero campy post and more classic quill stem would look better on the bike.

I agree. Also the white hoods are a bit too much. So close to realizing this frame's potential.

New build, 2 rides so far and really like it.

Changed out the Crank to a Sram Rival, 10 speed rear, Mavic Ksyrium's wheelset, SCHWALBE 700 x 25c Double Defender's, Garmin Edge 500, the bikes is close to 20 pounds, can not do the drop bars due to my back. this bike rides awesome. But also wanted it to look nice. Pretty top end for a flat bar bike. :)

FSA crank on that bike??? You need to fix that. Regardless, HOT!

edit: also lose the watch on the handlebar for photo ops! Otherwise, staging decent and photo quality great. Position valve stems at 6 o'clock.

using the K-Force light crank to take advantage for the bb386 bottom bracket on the frame, wanted the 30mm spindle on the crank to max out the stiffness

I understand your reasoning, but are you really riding at a level to feel the 6mm difference in spindle diameter? The DA crank will be stiffer all around with Much better chain ring geometry. If you must stick with the K-Force, slap some Praxis rings on there to show that you aren't neglecting the bike in that dept.

I agree, try the DA, you may be surprised.

100% in agreement with these comments (is crying for a DA 9000 crankset) except...take a minute to straighten/level the pic using simple Windows Gallery tool...

I'm not a Cannondale guy but find this one to be pretty hot, although green crankarm bolts would be a great finising touch...

then I saw the lady sticker, saddle bag, and

sorry dude, 100% no go on that one. No saddle bag shall ever touch a road bike!

What's wrong with Elite bottle cages?

Agree on the bolts and have searched high and low for the right green and can't find them. I've actually purchased 3 sets off Ebays thinking from the pics that they were right and each time they are some dark, horrible green. Anyone know where I can find some bright "lime" green bolts? The brake pad holders are lime green and work perfectly but the company doesn't make crank bolts.

gc3 04-26-13 12:18 PM

infinitecycles.com or cannondaleexperts.com you can get stock OEM standard bolts

Thanks for all the comments even from those that don't like the bike! lol

Thirdgenbird is correct. It is a 1998 GT Edge Aero with 1" steerer. Ugly frame, but quirky just how I like 'em. Huge downtube, teardrop seatstays, even the seattube is oblong.

Saddle is actually a modern "turbo" style replica.

and 105 and ultegra and...ehh you get the point lol. It's a hodgepodge of parts, but it seems to get me around well enough although I understand that's not what this thread is about :roflmao2:
