Cannondale R2000 - it is a great bike to hop on and go! Keeping up with the big guns is so much easier. Though I ride a fair amount, when I'm out riding with the die-hards, this makes it possible for me to keep up without slowing them down.

yeah im just waiting till I need to re-wrap the handlebars, but I know what you mean. There's actually a couple inches of slack too, you just can't see it in the picture. I honestly have no idea why my lbs did it that way either, it used to be under before I got it tuned up last spring, oh well.

Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself to the road bike community. I bought my first road bike a few months ago; a '10 Trek 1.5. Went on a few 10-15 mile rides throughout New Jersey. But this past weekend, I did a whopping 45 miles in about 3 hours. It was definetly a great experience and I am certainly looking forward to doing it again.

You're taking your life in your hands with those R-Sys wheels. They are only rated at slightly more than 1 DFU.

What are you worried about? It's a pretty sweet Felt! Screw carbon wheels, just enjoy! Don't let some people's ability to dump thousands and thousands of dollars on a "bad weather" bike make you insecure on your gem!
