Well, following this thread about the possibility of me getting a Dolan CX bike

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/dolan-cx-bike-any-owners-past-or-present

I ended up in my LBS this morning and came away with this

It's a cannondale (not that you'd know !) Caad X 105 .. This will be my commuter / winter / sky ride bike with some off road muddy fun thrown in for good measure bike

Excuse the grass 🙂

I'd be expecting monthly royalty cheques from Cannondale 😉

Quick 6 mile on/off road blast and I'm converted already. Can see me riding this bike a lot.

Only problem is the brakes are very poor .... Could probably live with them on the road but they just won't cut it off road ... So I think they are going to need an upgrade ....

The brakes, retina burning decals aside, are the only weak point on the bike. Just get some TRPs for £100 from Merlin, or BB7 for £35-40 an end.
