Man, just when I thought my older aluminum frame bike looked pretty sweet, I see these masterpieces...

BluFalconActual 05-24-17 08:35 PM

Here is mine. It's nothing special, but it has been my faithful steed and I love it.

Not bad at all. The frame has nice lines and real potential. A different bar configuration and nicer wheels would make it pop.

Why thank you good sir. I was thinking about getting a new bike all together, but decided to change out the horrid white bar tape and white tires and now am looking into a new saddle and wheel set.

My first road bike ever was a Z85 in July 23, 2012. Good bike to get a bunch of miles in. The bike will change appearance with time as you get stronger and ride longer. Now I am on my 8th bike and it just keeps getting better :)

That's awesome. Yeah, new and shiny things always catch my eye, but I bought this bike new in 2012 and immediately got orders to be stationed overseas and just recently have come back so the bike is essentially new. I have just recently gotten big into riding it and love it more and more after every ride. Maybe something fancy later on, but this thread has given me some really good ideas and inspiration to upgrade this baby.

Building this up for the lady, what do you guys think? Pretty sweet for her first bike. Easing her into foot retention.

Still need to remove the decals on the seatpost (acetone maybe?) and get rid of the yellow on the skewers/hubs (stupid mavic).

You're worried about the little logo on the seatpost when you got mudwall tires mounted? Go the easy route and slap on some all black tires, besides, the hot stamp is not in the right place!:rolleyes:
HOT, cuz it's a Cannondale-

That's what will happen when you try to ride this.

Bike for best: Scott Foil RC 2017 (left) & Race bike: Scott Foil Premium 2016 with Dura Ace 7900 & Rotor 3D Power2Max (right).

Both ride dreamily but the new DA is a different league.

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the RC vs the Premium? now all you need is the Addict :love:

there is no difference in frame material or design, even between the 2016 and 2017 I believe, just colour scheme. Ordinarily the premium if ordered as a full build comes with Zipp 303's and dura ace DI2. I just bought the frame.

I think I may need to leave it a year or so before adding another bike to the stable haha
