Are you reffering to the seat as a pain in the ass??? Or the post??

Either way, nice ride
The post. Wait until he hits a bump in the road. :poster_oops:

Nice, but with all those bikes, you picked a Cannondale? :bonk:

PM me what Chris charges for those. I never asked when he was at the shop, but might want some on my bikey.

edit - oh yeah, nice bike.

qui est Chris? is that the Arundel guy? i never remember his name. i just know him as the Arundel/ Shimano guy who makes carbon frames in his garage.

this is the only bike that gives me that "wow" feeling. everything else seems so ho-hum. i just wish it had Campy and some different wheels. i've got my Dura Ace/ RR1.1s that will be going on it Monday before work.

took another bike home this weekend; Kuota's Kebel...sort of a mid-range frame.



generic image. mine was set up with Rival and ES wheels.

unfortunately, the stem was too long, so i cut my ride short. neck and shoulders were killing me.

from what i could tell, the frame felt good. deadened the ride, didn't feel as snappy as the System6 when trying to zoom zoom. a little more stable in turns.

i can say without doubt that i am not a SRAM Rival/ Force fan.
