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! http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...vo-17438_1.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...vo-17438_3.jpg |

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

Super hot, but you should align the tire labels to the valve!

i like the evo, but one nitpick is that none of the whites on the frame,crank, wheels, saddle, or tape match
|
I have an opinion on the Evo, but since the owner didn't post it in the thread I'm going to reserve judgement.

Two hot EVO's but because I'm a guy that likes color, I love, love, LOVE the blue EVO. Wow, what a beauty!
(When a bike is that hot, it makes the wheel decals ok to me…) |

Still trying get the setup dialed. Sparkly new chain = not hot. Might look better with black tape and saddle, but I don't think it's worth another 300 hots :crash:

My new ride: Wilier Cento 1 SR with Campy Chorus and Fast Forward 60 wheels / Swiss D240 hubs.... I ordered this bike back in December in a custom color (black and hot pink) and it came out looking pretty slick.... |
That Evo paint scheme is awesome. IMO bike makers could take a lesson from that.. fewer well applied decals/logos and simple color schemes works well.
|
Yep. More nice paint + less graphics would be nice.
No problem with some road bikes looking like Motocross bikes, but ALL of them shouldn't. |
