    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    absolutely! when the deraileur is correct adjusted, there is no need for the disc :) nothing wrong with some 'blingbling' on a bike^^ goldchain, gold disc... in @IdahoBrett 's thread i've posted a whole groupset by MAFAC out of 'gold' :D

    SRAM vs. Shimano

    ok... sram got me... xD had the opportunity to get a force22-groupset on low budget in decent, neraly new condition. the parts are feeling good. way lighter than the sora r-3000 parts... i'm already excited to try it out. and how it will work on the CAAD5 :)

    Crit Talk

    just re-watched the Tulsa-Tough-Criterium, coz i heard some guys from RSC Kempten, southern germany, were racing over there and one even has won the pro category race. but why i was starting this topic was that i notized a guy has won one of the other races before on an old Cannondale...

    Cannondale History

    everytime i'm 'wasting' time on the cannondale topic... i find something impressive out of the cannondale world^^ on the cannondalebicycle-channel they released a video with old footage from the 70's about a bike trailer for kids.

    Custom triathlon roadbike by Andreas Niedrig

    just found again something pretty interesting on german 'kleinanzeigen'. a custom cannondale by german triathlete Andreas Niedrig. it's probably also a 1 of 1 unicorn... the owner told me, that this bike would be from 1995 – i doubt that. It's a CAAD9, right? Anyone else with a tipp which...

    Tinker Juarez's Team Road Bike

    a bike that you'll probably get only once in a life... maybe a rare item – if it really was ridden by juarez. it's not 100% original 'factory setup', right? if it's really from juarez, did he changed the components? and the condition of the coating is not the best anymore. but as brian said...

    Cannondale Trikots

    another legendary trikot was the 'legalize my cannondale' jersey, when cannondale started to use carbon parts on it's frames and they got too light for the regulators of the world tour races...

    Mavic Ksyrium wheels

    had a mavic ksyrium equipe s wheelset on the CAAD3 and i wasn't satisfied. after just 1 summer 2 spokes were broken and after changing them, the wheels were getting more and more unstable. if you look for something more stiff and durable, try some fulcrum wheelset. as blacklightning mentioned...

    How about defining vintage cannondale

    naaaahhh... i doubt that. in amateur races with an experienced rider, maybe... but i don't think any worldtour rider can win a race by riding a CAAD9. we should ask alberto bettiol to try that for us... xD as peter sagan did one stage at tour de france in his last year for bora hansgrohe when...

    Threadless stem adaptor/conversion - opinions?

    just to show the difference. both bikes are with 54 top tube & seat tube. but the stevens has a 15,5cm steer tube and the caad5 13,5cm. it's a way different feeling, when riding the stevens.
