Digging it except the seatpost.

Smacks of off the floor stock a bit too much for me, but since I'm partial to Fuji Roubaix's I'll give it a hot.

My Caad

Not.

What were you thinking with that seat post and those gumwalls look out of place with that frame. Not to mention the spacers on top of the stem...whoops guess I just mentioned them.

CAAD needs black chainrings, Evo needs a black seatpost and a shorter steerer.

I like the look of gumwalls idk

The gumwalls are Veloflex Record 22s. They could be pink and I'd use them.

Not as it sits

BUT has a lot of potential! White saddle to match the bar tape. Black seatpost + black cages and that's a HOT ride. I like the gum wall tires. Bars looks rotated down a bit further than I'd personally like.

You described the stock bike.

In other words the bike was hotter before you touched it.

Guess so. And 3lbs heavier.

You're right. Every bike that has matching bar tape to saddle and black seatpost is obviously stock.


Nobody said leave it stock.

Is that a stock bike?

Close. Not the seat (it is the same as on the Cannondale), not the cable housing, not the pedals, not the hubs, not the cassette, not the skewers, not the tires, not the steer tube expander bolt, not the steer tube cap and not 2 red bolts.

ohhhhhh......ok gotcha. I was confused because all the colors flowed together without a red seat post to slap me in the face with such wow factor that I just assumed it was stock.

Hot

You are almost 100% correct sir. It's all stock except for the saddle. I thought for off the floor, it looked pretty hot myself. I've even fought the urge to buy new wheels just because I like the look of the circle bricks that are on it.

Well, ok. What do I know, but I think this bike is pretty close to hot. Personally, I hate white bartape, but if it was black and you cut the steerer and rotated the bars up a bit (as has all been noted) I'd vote it a hot. I'm probably alone but I like the seat post. I'm ok with it slapping me in the face with color. Also ok with the white cages. NOT ok with the gum walls, it's the only piece of color that matches nothing else on the bike! And it looks like you're trying too hard. Great tires, huh? Ok, get 'em in black then. Or red for that matter. But gum walls don't work here, IMNSHO. (In my not so humble opinion) ;-)

Otherwise? It's awesome.

I'm in. ****'s hot.

The bars look rotated down a bit, but maybe it's the angle. Same with the saddle. I like the red seatpost, though... what does it weigh as it sits? Looks like it'd meed some ballast to be UCI legal ;-(

13lbs, 7oz

This was for a 15 year old. Next year UCI weight matters for only a few races and we will have a different bike. Either the MASI (which needs 1.5lbs) or a Venge, or a Look 795. All require weight to be added - for a few races.

If you're buying your son 13 pound bikes at 15, I'd hope you'll at least get him a smoking, sputtering 1980 Volvo for his first car to even things out.
