What bikes do we lust over?

hunt3r i think it sneaks thru the 3:1 rule by having the brake mounted to that head tube bulkhead thing - they can argue it's there for structural reasons

saw tight-lookin colnago with Di2 today. pricey!

also saw '10 model CAAD 9 with dura-ace bits, was feelin it

also saw no-interest payment option in the same shop

hmmmmm

caad9 is the aluminum best bike out there for the money. about to ride mine to work.

so tempting

n+1 fever!!

fwiw i'd go SRAM red instead of DA

wonder if cannonwhales are fully rehabilitated in the race scene here-- back in the day you never saw one racing except for newbies.

i really liked the salsa la cruz parked next to my bike at work yesterday.

there is ~someone at school who rides a SS voodoo cx bike and I like it v v much

they definitely are very present here in the NE. the bikereg/cannondale sponsored team is perhaps the best elite team in the region as well.

(noted: this bike has vert dropout but reminds me of the aforementioned)

i like that cyclingtips is going to get that frame fixed up and then build it up so readers of the blog can borrow it when in melbourne!

do u like caad9-6 at all? gonna be trading my current bike in (doesn't fit me) and i tried test rode one. also tried a lemond buenos aires but its way out of my price range ;(

that's the same frame as cutty's bike i think? just with a different parts spec.

yeah but i have 2009. i wholeheartedly recommend the caad9. what group does the 9-6 come with?

shimano tiagra. pic here

and the other one: http://www.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/fc4/33d/672/31498/product_page/lemond-buenos-aires-double-2007-road-bike.jpg

wait are you going to get 2009 or 2010?

i don't know? bike store lady mentioned she would get me the 10-speed (caad 9 6 triple i think?) cuz they're phasing out the 9-speeds??

i don't think you need a triple, grandma

get a compact crankset instead

Even a lummox like me doesn't need a triple hauling groceries on a much heavier bike. (admittedly I have quite a wide rear range)
