I'll bet that whomever uses that Cannondale gets in the drops once, maybe twice each year.

Nice bike, but it's obviously way too small for the rider.

#gumwalls is not a "phase", it's a lifestyle.

Very well put. I also fail because I spelled it faze instead of phase. I was so disgusted with the top picture that my brain stopped functioning.

I agree with you here, however, if I could see the gumwalls on the carbon wheels, I might change my mind.

Also, I dont' think that's a real cannondale frame.

i'm pretty sure motorheadsroadie and yummygooey have same fit setups on their bikes. if you think somthing is set up too aggressively maybe it's just too aggressive for you...

Sorry dudes, I am sticking with the opinion that the bike is too small for the rider. Done on purps, of course. Some people choose that route.

I don't have an insane amount of post out of the frame on my Steamroller but you could argue the same about my setup. My saddle is slammed backward and I'm running a 110mm stem. Some might argue I should be riding a 58 with less setback instead of a 56 but the bike sure feels 'right'. It seems this approach is pretty common.

I love when Cannondales don't have that ugly spiderweb crankset.

Long legs and arms, but no torso? @motorheadsroadie

I've never felt this way about any of your bike setups. Something just seems too contrived about the set up of the pink bike. As if he's got it set up based on what he feels will make him appear more pro. Alas, we won't really know unless since we don't have any info on the rider and their proportions.

Could be a Caad9 with a different fork. But if indeed it is a fake cannondale frame, it would just add to the owner's need to project a certain image.

Yeah, it could be a 9 now that I compare. Definitely a different fork tho.

In the one photo it appears the saddle is angled down, so it's possible the seat is jacked too high for the rider...or it could just be the angle.

Still, a pink cannondale with campy will always look nice in my book.
