You know there is a thread to post your bike in there. You don't need to start a whole new thread for it. You havn't accopmlished any thing special by buying a pre assembled bike. BTW having a sore ass after 10mls is the sure way to keep the bar tape crystal white for a while.

He bought a bike that he's excited about and made a thread about it. Don't take it personally.

Great looking bike. I had the same problem for the first week (my butt getting use to the saddle). After about two weeks I didn't notice the numbness or pain. That or you can swap out saddles for something with a little bit more padding.

Thanks guys I appreciate the welcome. I am drowning in a sea of information, brand names, and dos and don'ts... its going to be fun getting up to speed. 10 miles on day 1, 25 miles on day 2, and today was my first day going to work on the bike... very very cool. Don't worry about guys like UCIMBZ,there are guys like him on all forums. Did I say I made some massive accomplishment by buying a prebuilt bike? No.. im just excited to start in this sport and wanted to show off the Cannondale sexyness 
See you guys on the road!

Very nice looking bike! You know, the main thing I like about Cannondales is that they look like bicycles. No weird curves in the frame or zig-zags in the seat-stays. It looks classic, yet modern.

So I finally got my road bike.. after weeks of reading, searching, and researching, I finally settled on (and located) a Cannondale Supersix Carbon in team colors. I got it yesterday and meeked out a 10 mile ride on my first day. It was pretty hot out, so that limited me a little bit... Today my butt is sore!!! man is it sore... i hope it doesn't take long for me to get used to it

If your butt continues to hurt, maybe time to think about getting a saddle better suited to you. No sense riding in pain.

Your SuperSix is the more affluent and athletic cousin to my Synapse Alloy. I know the feeling of being giddy at this time because it's still your honeymoon, but may I just remind you to be extra safe out there. We don't want anything to happen to you and your new bike which might cause you to lose that high feeling about cycling. Rack up the miles, enjoy the great outdoors, and stay safe.

One thing I want to know -- does anyone on here own this bike:
It is my favorite looking Cannondale, but I've never actually seen any photos of it. The only thing that would make it better is if they replaced the Rival shifters with SRAM Red Orange shifters
