The flagship for their women's line (price tag of $6800) looks like this:
Which immediately reminded me of this:
Now, I know wimmin (me included) complain a lot about the choice of colors we're offered, but this one just makes my eyes bleed... or makes me want to brush my teeth.

Wow.
That's about all I can say, and I don't mean that in a good way. Just...wow.

Kinda weird to use something close to Celeste. Kind of ironic considering Barloworld rode Cannondale in 2007 and switched to Bianchi for 2008.

I don't "Feel It"
Oh my! The first year they brought out the Synapse in WSD I got one and I think it is gorgeous. But this, this is not right to my eyes. Yep, minty fresh is a good description. The red Synapse is on the mint is really getting to me as well.

LOL! But isn't "fresh confidence" a good thing to have on a bike?
I wonder if it has a gel seat?

I did notice the Six13 for women seems to have been designed off a thread against women's bikes here. Mostly black with a hint of girly colors but not bathed in pepto.

I didn't mind the bike so much, but with the toothpaste it's hilarious.

Ick - I don't like it at all!
In fact, when I first looked at it, it reminded me of something other than toothpaste but after seeing the colgate box, I can't think of anything else now!

My first thought was, "how many times do they have to scream CANNONDALE on it?". I hate those huge logos. I spend a lot of time taking stickers and decals off of my wheels and parts. Then the toothpaste made me laugh. How perfect. Tacky advertising just like on a toothpaste box!
