By the end of 2012, I will have one of these frames (or complete bikes) in my possession. Don't know what it will take to make that happen. Hopefully I can find one cheap somewhere.

But that color scheme is so nice...... I can't resist it...




Must resist.....

again..having owned both, and raced both..the 10 is a better bike with the exception of the "made in the USA" sticker on the seat stays.


Thanks for the feedback.

I can elaborate but if you search this thread I have a few descriptions of the two to help you decide.

Found it thanks.

Here's a teaser for now, had to drop it off at the lbs after setting it up this far because bottom bracket and crankset installation is beyond my scope.

I decided to bust out the fun wheels early on account of good weather.

I <3 Robots...the ball's in your court and remember; Pics or it didn't happen! :lol:

Dropped off the frame and remaining parts to the mechanic tonight. Fitting is scheduled for Friday. Maiden voyage Saturday. I'll post a pic, of course, as soon as it's done.
On a side note: I giggled at the weight of the Force bb30 crank when I held it. I know there are lighter but pushing the 16 pound barrier is new ground for me and my wallet.

howd you get your hands on just the frameset all black? my local bike shop said cannondale only offers the regular black and liquigas paintscheme as a frameset

Some custom graphics going on my BBQ CAAD9-? on the seattube just below the top tube...

Out-The-Back 02-02-12 07:30 PM

^thanks!

More time now so a bit more explanation. The bike as pictured comes in at 17.4 #'s with the following.

-7900 brakes, brifters, and front and rear derailleurs
-Hollowgram SI cranks
-6700 pedals
-3t aluminum Ergonova bars, Doric Pro Seatpost (400mm uncut), and ARX Pro stem
-Yokozuna brake and shifter cables
-Reynolds Strike wheels with Pro+ powertap and D/A 21-11 cassette
-Fizik Arione saddle with magnesium rails

With my DV46/SL+ wheelset I'd be well under 17....DT Swiss RR1.1 would be under 16 #'s. Not bad for an all aluminum bike (except the fork) with no real effort to WW it. My focus for building it was 100% performance with some attention to asthetics but no compromises. Not focus on weight but all the focus on rigidity.

The cranks are enamal painted with 3m protective film. Haven't deciced if I like them white or not. Plan on getting them PC'd but waiting until I have my other frame ready to get them done together. Likely flat black if the white doesn't grow on me.

Haven't visited this thread in awhile.. I just won a brand new set of Fulcrum 5's on fleabay. Pics as soon as they come in!

Time for some new bar tape too.. even cleaned with bleach the original white cloth tape is way too worn at this point. I guess that means I did good on mileage last year. hah.

You got a great build! For not focusing on aesthetics...you did pretty good. :D

Are you running clinchers or tubulars?
