Yes...I do ride this on the road - to and from the trail, about once a week on a nice local hilly road route too. Just can't afford more than one bike for me when I've got a stable of five more to maintain for the rest of the family!
It probably weighs twice what most of those sexy, sleek bikes do. Not to mention the drag of 2.5" wide tires inflated to about 40lbs. Not to mention a nice squishy front and rear suspension. I look at it this way...it just makes me that much stronger.

Ya aint seen nothin' yet homies, not until the Time shows up 
! Check out those beautiful new tires, and I was told I would go faster with the Time spacer flipped above the stem.

Sooo......
The Cinquanta huh?
You have the extra duckets laying around to buy a camera and take an actual picture of your own bike then huh? (Not a Pic from a web site)
:angry:
Ok OK.. let's SPREAD the love guys
Heres my ride with some training wheels on it. (also for sale if you want to buy it)
Bianchi EV4 frame 57cm with dura ace/ultegra components, WCS bar/stem/seatpost, Fizik Arione saddle, Race X lite wheels with pro race tires
Can also sell it for 1800 with Mavic Cosmos or 1600 with no wheels
The frame has a small dent in the top tube from the handlebars hitting the frame during a crash. Other then that everything is in perfect shape. Email for pictures.

nope i race for them. i did a small internship there during the summer a couple of years ago and know all of the guys up there very well. they are way to small and i'm not fast enough on the road for them to realistically be able to afford giving me a road bike. it's all good, i understand their end and they understand mine. they know i'd buy one if i had the $$. i'd like to buy another cx bike though before i do that...
My first Road Bike. No one is quite sure how old it is 97-99? Full Carbon with Shimano 600 running gear. It cost me $500
Oreo is still not sure if Roadies are cool

the dark red cannondale is SWEET wish it was mine
Nothing Special -- `98 Cannondale R200, 54cm CAAD2 frame, downtube shifters and 7-speed cassette (12-24). 52-39 chainrings and 170mm arms. I usually run older Ultegra pedals. Steering is pretty quick. Bought it new and wanted something that didn't grab attention or look outdated in 6 years. Good member of my commuter fleet. Just noticed today my sidewalls are getting hard and crusty...time for new tires! :mumble:

The "British racing" forest green with the tan bar tape give the bike a classic look. It would be even sweeter if you have a Brooks brown leather saddle.MisterXTR said:
Dang, that is one fine looking Brooks saddle. You're right that it would offset the tan tape well!Carbon Fetish said:

For $170 the saddle ought to just picked my butt up and carry me up the hill....
Brooks saddles are the bomb.
Swapped over all my parts from my Orbea (the gold one on the first page I believe), to my Kelly Knobby X.
It will be my bike for the long base mile rides this winter.... also is still my Cyclo-X rig.. just swap some tires ya know?
Pic is from the Valley Forge trail this past Sunday.

That Kelly is HOT!
why did you change frames ?
mmm... surly (okay so its really just a frame, crankset, headset, and stem sitting on some old wheels so I could test the fit.)
Winter rides... OX Platinum rides better than any aluminum for long winter rides... ALSO canti's leave much more room for larger tires for snow/ice whatnot.
I don't ride her enough since I also mtn bike.
oooohhhh, it's soooooo nice.
