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

1) You need to host it someplace (flickr, picasa, etc).
2) You need to grab the file location - usually you can right-click the pic and select "copy image url" or the equiv based upon your web browser
3) In your post here, paste the image url in between the image tags like this -

Your current picture is plenty big, it just needs to be clicked on.

Yeah, I was trying to learn how to post a photo w/out it having to be clicked. I'm a little slow sometimes but I think I've got it now. :-)

Nice. I was looking at the decals that Fairwheel Bikes had but I decided to go a different route. I had a local vinyl-decal shop make them in gloss black; some contrast from the matte, ud-carbon finish of the wheels.

CAAD10-1, No plans so far (or rather no money) except cutting the steerer tube and slamming the stem, but in the future planning to black it out to its limit.


This being my first matte black bike, I don't think I'll be going back to a gloss/clear coat bike. The S-Works really have some eye-catching matte paint jobs, at least to me. Trek's 2012 5.9 frame is also pretty nice, being matte white and blue.

Right. This is my third frame from them. You see quite a few around here, but I think it's partly because the frames won't die.

That frameset is insanely nice. It's also the only matte black frameset I've ever liked. The smaller font used for the Cannondale logos along with the CK headset and nicely proportioned tube sizes...I better stop because I'm drooling on my keyboard. I'd probably trade my caad9 for one of those if I found one in good condition like yours.
