Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Just got a new frame!

After about half a year of emails leading me to dead ends, I finally came across a bike I liked, with someone actually willing to respond to my messages.

Here's a photo: Cannondale CAAD8 R1000 - Imgur

Any thoughts? Picked up the frame for $250, looks to be in fair condition. Minor scratches, paint chips, and one small dent are all I could see.

He listed as a CAAD8 R1000, but no other place seems to call it that. Is this because it uses CAAD8 tubing? Thanks in advance for the help.

Not a dent really, looks like some unplugged bars chipped some paint off the downtube.
