Yeah, that's totally unacceptable.

I saw one of these when I was out bike shopping and thought that this was one of the most beautiful bikes I had ever seen, certainly the best looking Cannondale I have ever seen.
I like the CAAD10, don't get me wrong. But I love the CAAD9's style. |
CAADs by nature dig a nice Thomson cockpit.

Sushi, that's a pretty hot looking bike. Nytro, is that a Vireo connection?

So, I was talking to my CAAD the other day, and she is mad because she is still forced to travel on the stock RS10s. Seeing as how you are all so concerned about the CAADs, I was thinking, in an effort to make her happy, does anyone have any wheels they want to give her?
I know she would be quite happy with almost anything by Reynolds, Zipp or Easton. She likes carbon, but all in all she is sort of partial to aluminum braking surfaces, she says it just seems more natural given her construction. She also told me she is a fan of something called ceramic bearings... If you would like to send them to her, I would be grudingly willing to facilitate their installation. Best. |

She's seen the elites on her roomate, the cervelo. She's not sold on them. She's looking for something a bit deeper or thicker, a platform type if you will. Again, al gifts gladly accepted. If she's not sold on them, I will find them a new home...

Not too extreme and they'll give her what she's looking for. |
Sure, send them along....
I can hear the chants of the little children now..."your wheels cost more than your bi-ike, your wheels cost more than your bi-ike..." |

I started with a tarmac in '09. I started racing last year, so I built a CAAD9.
Mostly SRAM bits and 'merican parts. Nice, stiff, light, and responsive. Racing starts in two days! here she is. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/IMAG0118.jpg |
