Here's one I took way back in early Dec., when it was brand new:

oh wow, very pretty zoomzoom!! I have a Specialized Tarmac on order...still waiting for it... ... they said March now I'm hearing late March. I hope I get it.

I like the blue tape on your bike. You can order blue Continental tires now

colored tires... I ride nothing but these. I swear they last forever...

Funny you mention this...I've been thinking my next set of tires should be blue. My hubby really likes those Contis, too.

I hope so, too. How crazy is this...friends of ours were looking to buy a new 2011 Cannondale Synapse for their son. Apparently Cannondale is completely out. It almost sounded like they weren't going to make more for 2011 (which seems crazy, but maybe that's how the industry works...? ). I think they ended up finding a 2009 or 2010 in-stock somewhere. When I got my previous bike (a 2010 WSD Synapse) we ordered in the Fall and waited a LONG time. I had originally wanted a compact, but ended up settling for a triple, since Cdale had one sitting in the warehouse in my size.

I had a MUCH faster delivery experience on my current bike (less than a week from when it was ordered to when we had it in our possession, IIRC). I think in large part because my new bike is a men's frame in a small size--less demand than my women's frame in a relatively average women's size (48cm).

Feral, that is one hot, fast-looking bike! How do you keep that white tape so white?

I ride on the hoods most of the time so the tape really doesn't get that dirty

The only thing I really don't like about this bike is the teardrop seatpost. It's a pain in the @$$ to change saddles and some don't even fit properly

By the way I love the blue and orange color combo!

Sweet! I have a SuperSix, too. Here's a picture of her. I LOVE my bike! Yes ... very smooth feel. I had a CAAD9 aluminum frame before and couldn't believe the difference when I rode hubby's SuperSix around the block. Tried not to be eternally jealous, but eventually I got one.

Congrats on your new baby!

My hubby's bike is carbon and he's never had an alum. bike. His previous bike was steel and our tandem is steel. I think he *got* how miserable I was on alum. when we did our first ride on the tandem and I sat back there oohing and ahhing over how smooth everything felt--even roads I refused to ride on my bike, because they were so freshly chip-sealed and rough. I can't wait to see what those roads feel like come warmer weather!
