Here is my race machine. It was 14 lb 6 oz with Mavic Ksyrium SL's, Vittoria Pro Slicks, and no pedals. Not sure what the weight is now with Dura Ace 6800 pedals and Zipp 404 tubulars.

Thanks for the input. New photos will be posted with changes and adjustments.

With a shallow(er) drop bar you could have the hoods and drops at the same height they are at now while having a flatter stem and a flatter transition from ramps to hoods.

pretty clever to go with the raw Thomson stem and seatpost, I have not seen that done before. if you had black spokes and chainrings it wouldn't look as nice but because you don't it works.

here's a few close ups of that.. tried to be purposeful as i liked the contrast of silver and black without going all over the place.

thanks!

I believe it's a 2012. Got from ebay 4 months ago and that is what the seller stated.

I can't think of many situations where the Ritchey silver bars would be classy, but you have nailed it. I really like the silver hubs as well.

The 2014 team replica looks pretty good IMO. I wouldn't mind owning one. Perhaps the first Cannondale team edition I'd like to own.
