New Bicycle
A bike shop owed me some money for goods I supplied.
I wanted this solo-fork model for sometime and struck a deal with the dealer. The stickers that look white are really just light sensitive beads. Cannondale-Solo1.jpg CannondaleSolo2.jpg I ride it every day and love the disc brakes. It has 700C wheels and rolls real well down the road. I want to just ride this bike all day.

Ha ha, that's not a "solo-fork" Steve... the other fork has snapped off! You got done!!!
 Just joking buddy. That's a really nice ride you have there. Watch out for those damn tram-tracks they have down your way

Nice Stevo! I have been half-heatedly shopping around for a new one myself, and Cannondale and Specialized are at the top of my list ... but not quite as high end as yours. Congrats, sir!

When you said "solo-fork," I looked twice at the pictures.
Too cool, Steve.

I have Cannondale, Trek, and Bianchi. I would say that C' dale is the most responsive.

Looks like the 'Bad Boy' model I tested a couple of weeks ago. Went back a second time...it was sold. Nice ride.

That's a beautiful ride. I ran across this one:
