finally bought new road bike

[jjbodean1970]

after much hand wringing, deliberation, and searching, i finally settled on a 2010 cannondale caad9 4.

Cannondale | CAAD9 4

last of the caads (or so i am told) made here in the usa, as the 2011 is the caad10 and made overseas.

anyways, looked and looked and called and called and finally found that rei had 4 in my size nationwide; they are shipping one to the closest rei store to me (atlanta) and i hope to pick it up next week.

now time to get pedals, computer, helmet, new wheels, etc.

What groupo did you get? Those are sweet bikes.

You must be young. I wish I were more so, so that I could tolerate an aluminum frame again.

Congrats! You'll dig the lively handling.

That's a great Alu frame. Very nice choice. Red or Black?

sram force and rival components. that was the decision maker for me after trying out both shimano and sram groupos, i prefer sram.

You must be young. I wish I were more so, so that I could tolerate an aluminum frame again.

Congrats! You'll dig the lively handling.

i'm going to be 40 next month. is that still considered young?

That's a great Alu frame. Very nice choice. Red or Black?

got the red. would have preferred black, but reds not bad. it will look good with the fulcrum wheels i just got for it.
