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!
I love it!

GORGEOUS bike! Did you have to special order or did they have it in stock?

It was in stock... the end of the 2006 models, so I got it on sale.
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!
There are Chinese characters on the seat tube - I emailed Cannondale for the translation: "Beautiful Woman."

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!
