Yippee! I now have a road bike! After months of riding my Trek MTB on the roads, I have made the leap.
Now my MTB can do what it does best - ride on trails.
I am very excited. I now have a Cannondale R1000 Feminine - it has the dragonfly paint job.
We went for our first ride together on Monday (my birthday) - I have some things to learn!
Compared to my MTB, it is VERY responsive... and very fast! :cool:
I love it!:D
Wow! Congratulations! What a beautiful bike!
that's very beautiful!
I hope it is as nice to ride as it is to look at. Glad to know that Cannondale is also making WSD bikes!
Love the paint job:D
Happy 'belated' birthday :D
And, WHAT A GORGEOUS BIKE !!!! Congratulations :D ...
Very pretty dragonfly paint job....
ENJOY HER!!
Peace & Love,
Denise
What a beauty! She looks fast and fun. Enjoy!
Congrats, that's a good lookin' bike! and I love the paint job!
GORGEOUS bike! Did you have to special order or did they have it in stock?
'Wow!! What a gorgeous bike! Enjoy...Enjoy...Enjoy!!
Ohmygosh- gorgeous! And now you can keep the tire pressure on your mtb low.
Congratulations and such a wonderful looking bike. I love dragonflies and the color is really pretty. You should really enjoy riding her!!!!

It was in stock... the end of the 2006 models, so I got it on sale. :D
I took everyone's advice here, and had a fit done before shopping around. A friend of DH is the manager at the LBS, and did a full Serotta fit for me... since I ended up buying from his shop, he didn't charge me for it!
I tried a number of different bikes at a couple of shops, but this one just felt right! Okay, so I have only ridden 27 miles so far... but so far so good! :cool:
There are Chinese characters on the seat tube - I emailed Cannondale for the translation: "Beautiful Woman."
That makes it even better!!Quote:

Thanks, everybody!
fatbottomedgurl: "And now you can keep the tire pressure on your mtb low." Ha! This made me laugh - I took my MTB for a ride in the State Park a few weekends ago, and forgot to check the tire pressure before using it for my commute to work on the following Monday. :o Something just wasn't quite right... It proved to be a good reminder to check my pressure - I haven't forgotten since!
And, thanks for the birthday wishes too! I'm still a spring chicken, despite my birthday - I've just turned 31. I hope to have many many many years of riding left for me!
