Unbelievably stiff and light. Just need some pimp bottle cages (and proper lycra) before the long rides.

you'd better get some pedals sorted out too if you don't want lots of s****ing 😆

Nice. Not sure about the bar tape though.

Took them off the mountain bike to ride it home! They will have to wait until my bank balance recovers.

Would prefer all black tape and no silly white stripes on the tyres but I am sure they will wear out quickly

quite nice looking that

is it posh? - mostly they're fuglier as price increases so that'd be a nice exception

It's a "ROAD BIKE" and you may one day be a "ROADIE" :mrgreen:

I like the Cannondale 6 series but not the paintwork but all bike manufacturers are going weird for 2011.

£3k machine? Nice.

Very nice! Funny shaped compact bars - how do you get on with them?

Is it just me, or is that bike standing up on its own?

Paintjob? Do you mean the graphics/size of them. It's just raw carbon except the top of the top tube.

Personally I love it 🙂

I think you all do too as no one has mentioned the state of my lawn and weed ridden path 😉

You do know that your plant needs picked up and the grass is a wee bit shabby. But nice bike 😀

Not usually a fan of Cannondale's but that looks nice & nearly tall enough for me 😀

Be prepared for punctures with those tires - I average one a ride.

Came like that from the box. The Fizik logo is the right way round.

It's annoying though as I hadn't noticed the mistake on the bars until I took the pic! It's the join between white and black. It's fine on the other side 🙁

Nice bike! How do you get on with the Ultegra shifters? I've got the same on my Scott CR1 and they are really annoying me. I keep missing rear up-shifts as the small lever, if it touches the brake lever, just swings with no shift. The rubber bumper on the small lever seems to knock the front lever which, if it is moved just a fraction, results in the missed shift. Doesn't do this on my old Ultegra shifters. Design fault I reckon.

Bent lever? the rear lever is metal so maybe try bending it back a little? Mine doesn't do that either?
