Well .....unless it's a Cannondale it appears.



Today I've got the Softride sitting in front of me waiting to finally get it's first full ride under me ever. Not planning on trying to get this one into the club today but who knows.


This is how it'll be going out today except for a minor adjustment I made tilting the nose of the saddle down a bit. One of my heavier bikes at 23 lbs 5 ozs as it sits.
Cool bike. Its about the engine but i think you're downplaying the importance of the wheelset and components. Steel aluminum carbon doesn't matter they're all more than capable of that pace if you pedal hard!
