It would be different if you had an ugly bike. :lol:

I honestly can't tell a difference from before but she looks good to me.

I rotated the bars up and moved the brifters down, to make everything more flat/level.

Excuse my TERRIBLE drawing skills:

Hey thanks, I'll keep that in mind... Cheers.

Looks good, I wouldn't worry about Rule #8 either, I think the bar tape matches the white on the frame well. Nice work.

I see it now, I like it this way better.

Just bought these:

It's the Williams Aurora SLC with carbon rails. The rails are oval is shape.

Will this fit my stock Cannondale C3 seat post adapter or do I need to buy this:

Will this ritchey adapter fit the C3?

Any idea what the weights are for different sizes of 2013 CAAD10's frame/fork?

Just pulled the image into Photoshop... The wheels are 'shopped in... Sneaky bugger. You can see a halo around the tires, the wheel at the chainstays doesn't run through and there's a bit of retouching at the back of the rear wheel. Nice effort though. Good eyes for picking it up. :)

That is a great saddle for the price. The Cannondale post will work fine with nothing additional. Two bolt systems that clamp from the top and bottom need nothing. The adapter you posted is only for specific Ritchey seatposts that clamp from the side using a single bolt.

If that position works for you then great. Personally I wouldn't like it because your drops are not level. I like to have my drops level so that would mean rotating your bars back down and sliding your shifters up to get them level. Otherwise riding it the way you have it set up, your forearms will most likely hit the top bar.

And flatten that Garmin mount! ;-)

Shutters? That's a weird word for them.

Only way I could see forearms hitting the top bar was if your arms were straight and locked... when bended they're not even close.

Will the C3 seatpost work for any carbon rail saddles then?

I'm interested in giving the Romin, and Toupe saddles a shot. The prospect of not having to order a new seatpost and/or adapter might mean I go carbon rails.

As long as the width of the rail is the same it will work. I won't say all carbon rails as there are some outliers with weird rails that you will most likely never consider. Basically all the mainstream carbon rails will be fine.

Go ride it, Try sprinting in the drops and tell me how "not even close" they are.

This is the 2nd time he's done this, my curiosity is piqued. Why? If your'e embarrassed of your wheels either buy some new ones or stop posting fake pics!

Yup, another photoshop job. Clearly a troll. Sigh.

Stop posting fake pictures!!! Practice with the software all you want, just DON'T post those pics. Bad, bad habit you have going on.
