I thought this belonged in "off-topic" since it is only tangentially related to mountain biking, but I brought my new road bike home today! Yaaaayyyy!
It's a 2006 Cannondale R1000 Feminine. Lovely paint job - the "Dragonfly" design in silvery-blue. I love it - J thought I might want pink bar tape to accent the pink dragonflies on the bike. I went with silver instead - my love of the color pink is restricted to lip gloss and the occasional accessory piece.
The bike is very, very nicely equipped with a carbon fork and seat post, Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels (the best wheelset I've been able to afford so far) and J threw a set of Salsa bars on it with ergo grip in the drops that feel like a dream compared to my old road machine. It has a compact crank which is think is going to serve me well as I re-discover the road and explore my current state of fitness and the limits to which I can take it.
J, I want to say thank you for spending so much time with me to make sure the bike fit well. A visit to Halter's is always a pleasure and you have never steered me wrong.
So now I guess I have an obligation to ride the thing and keep my training blog updated with my (mis)adventures. Wish me luck everyone!
