The way Cannondale forks taper is so sexy. And my hat is off to Cannondale for not making it disgusting flat black but gloss the way a fine vehicle should be. Pedals gotta go tho.
I like that this bike says Cannondale only six times. There was a different model, one with lime green, posted a few weeks ago that said Cannondale on the frame something like thirteen times.
I'm really looking forward to getting a CAADX this spring.

How do you like those wheels. I've seen them on PBK...and thought about them.

First bike I bought was after working in a bike shop for a while. This was like 4 years ago and I got a Giant Defy 1. It really was a terribly ugly bike, and it had 22 instances of "Giant" on it. So glad Giant's newer offering are more toned down in the logo department.

It's too bad bikes aren't sod in primer, so the buyer could have his own paint scheme applied & then have decals made to match.

I like the wheels OK.
Funny thing, other than that, this bike is almost perfectly unattractive - a collection of characteristics that I do not prefer (color scheme, bowed top tube, flat saddle, dull black chain wheels, stumpy stem and pedals) - but it seems nevertheless very well put together, and I wouldn't be surprised if it got plenty of "hots."

Thanks, it came with them. No upgrades, have some clipless pedals being shipped, and I also took off the reflectors but didn't feel like going to take another picture.

I walked into the Hot r Not thread and ended up in the Post Your Road Bike thread.

Despite being out of focus, i'd say it's pretty hot.
