You traded a SuperSix for an Orbea?

Yes. I felt like it was a very fair swap.

That's nice and all but bottom line is hood placement is based upon wrist angle and reach to the lever... depending on bar shape (ramp angle/length, curve radii of the hook, etc..) it can vary quite a bit from being aligned flat relative to the stem and tops.

If you look at the top tube, those handlebars, stem, hoods are all pointing upward....right?

What's not noticeable is that the top tube while upward sloped in that image, is probably really sloped seeing as it's a colnago CLX 2.0

Excellent trade!

I was presented with receipts from the bikeshop showing a new chain, cassette, cables, grip tape and conti tires. I probably won't, but if I could change anything the steerer tube would get cut, and I'd change the stem, bars and saddle.

Watch out for those Miller School kids. Nothing makes you feel humble like getting stamped on by a 15 year old. Jake King just got himself a real contract, too...

Saw this bike on Weight weenies and had to share. What a Beauty! (IMO)

This bike has a couple things that I'm not usually fond of (Thomson setback post, -17 degree stem and bars completely flat, gold chain), but everything just works here!

Here is what the owner had to say:

I just completed my Master's degree, and am now moving up to the Bay Area. I'd been thinking of a new frame for quite a while; originally considered the orange Specialized Tarmac, but I couldn't get a decent deal on it. A friend at a LBS hooked me up with a 2013 Cannondale Evo and custom paint by the guys over at Cycle Therapy (they're in Orange, CA, go check them out!). So anyways, here's my gift to myself. Hope you enjoy!

Wheels look too big for that bike and the wheel badging is kind of annoying but nice color.

bianchi10 04-24-14 09:41 PM

Yeah I think the Decals are going to be a love it or hate it thing. I think with the lack of cannondale branding, it works well. Could look clean without also though.

cannondale125 04-24-14 11:28 PM

Very nice! I like it alot!

cannondale EVO win!

The EVO is sick. The CAAD looks good, too. I always liked that color scheme.

zymphad 04-25-14 09:08 AM

Too awkward looking to me. Looks like it would just topple over from being so tall. Seatstay and headtube are so long...

Holy **** you're a tall dude, that frame makes those Enve wheels look like they're 650's!
