The Cult of CAAD...

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

upilu is back, where have you been my friend? I missed you in the tour, the photoshop race team did poorly. Forget all these haters here you continue to have the hottest CAAD on this thread. Nagrom is angry that his CAAD doesn't change sizes like yours

I actually believed him this time too. I guess I should've known... Old habits. I kinda feel like you guys should be getting paid for helping the rest of us not get fooled.


Edit: I gotta say though. I love the comic relief that follows.

[MENTION=330714]Upilu[/MENTION] Please just stop posting "fake", Photoshop-ed, pictures of your bike. It's getting annoying.

Why are you even posting picts of bikes with fake wheels? Every time you post a picture with "Your" bike it degrades your reputation even more. From this point forward (even prior to this as it seems) nobody will believe anything you post. Get bent dude, nobody cares.

Sweet ride ED, not a CAAD, but sweet ride. Make sure you post a pic in the "Show me your Cannondale" thread.

It is so manipulated that it just as well be fake. A round baler will form a small core and then hay gets wrapped in a tight spiral around it. The is no way that the deformations seen above the saddle and bars could happen inside a bale that remains as round as this one.

oh, and the cable housing doesn't line up with the cable stops.

Haha, true...but all c'dale's are cult worthy.

I'll be posting it in there as soon as I actually get it. Will have to ride it stock for a bit to see where I want to go with it. I should get my fuji back at some point, think I'll throw some wider tires on it and use it to commute back and forth to work and keep the EVO as my special bike.

Good call on the cable housing.

It's like we're playing a game of "spot the difference"

Looking good!

Get yourself fitted on the bike then have the fork cut and the spacers above the stem removed.

Afterwards, take a better photo - drive side this time, and repost.

A SuperSix EVO that's feeling left out of the group of CAADs?

I really like the colorway. I take it this is a 2014 model?

Cheers, I had not seen that one before.

I like the blue accents; don't see them all too often on Cannondales.
