I'll have a submission for y'all once the Supercross dust (snow?) settles.
For those that have seen it, I'm open to suggestions.

The headtube/badge is the sickest I've seen in quite some time...
Nov 24, 2013 at 05:49 PM
Did someone say ti ? Is that a reverse sloping top tube?
Dec 11, 2013 at 04:41 AM
So, I got this...
Because I really needed a TT bike.
Now I can't blame the bike for my sucking in TT's.
Dec 11, 2013 at 04:46 AM
NAME?
Dec 11, 2013 at 05:38 AM
Ryan, this probably belongs in the "training" thread, but while I was living with a USA Cycling Coach in Arizona (where they do a LOT of TTs), he made the point that if you wanted to get good at TTs you need to spend at least once a week doing rides/workouts on your TT bike and/or TT set-up.
Dec 11, 2013 at 12:35 PM
that is a really pritte bike.
Dec 11, 2013 at 03:25 PM
1. Never seen the rear derailleur mounted right behind the front derailleur like that. Super aero!
2. Who the hell is Smitty?
Dec 11, 2013 at 03:28 PM
And shouldn't it have been spelled "Smitte"?Jeffrey White said:2. Who the hell is Smitty?

I'm gonna have Blyer fit me on it, I think, and then once the weather warms up a tad that is the plan.

(in coach Ragot I trust)

Its name is Smitty, obviously.

2014 Caad10 baby! In time for my bday. I may go with the heart of darkness theme, but it would have to be Kurtz.
Dec 14, 2013 at 08:19 PM
@dstokes Beautiful bike! And Kurtz seems quiet appropriate. At least in my weekend group ride experience, you tend to be the guy we run into up river.

I LOVE THAT BIKE.
You treat it right, David. You treat that bike right. If I see pink bar tape anywhere near that beautiful baby I'll call 311 on you.
Dec 14, 2013 at 11:59 PM
aluminum...it's the new ti

BLAK and pink go great together. Real men wear pink.

Awesome! I ordered the sme frame. Did you get it through Ride Brooklyn? Can I expect a very merry Christmas??
Dec 15, 2013 at 03:12 AM
RB, yes. Al set me up and Will did the trimming.
Don't worry Jeff. No pink.
Dec 15, 2013 at 02:29 PM
Speaking of pink bar tape... I saw a Kissena headed north on 5th avenue yesterday; old skool jacket, black giant frame and PINK BARTAPE. Looked to be about 52" or 54" frame, officer.
Dec 15, 2013 at 02:35 PM
The person you saw yesterday was Ryan J.
Dec 15, 2013 at 02:39 PM
Impossible. Everybody knows he now spends every waking moment on his new "Tri" bike and has mounted twin water bottle cages on the seat.

2013 F29 1
New Year's Day eBay score....paid exactly 1/2 off from MSRP. I put the bid in on New Year's Eve before going out to celebrate thinking there was no way I'd win.
For now at least I will call it El Izquierdito
Jan 13, 2014 at 04:06 AM
Awesome find. Nothing like an ebay auction that ends at a time when most people are not paying attention.
Jan 13, 2014 at 03:39 PM
Yeah Dan. Good deals can be had around holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are good times to find steals...I've had luck on the 4th of July too.Dan Reiners said:Rick,Awesome find. Nothing like an ebay auction that ends at a time when most people are not paying attention.
This one ended at 1245 PM....not so super early in the day. But I guess the rest of the eBaying, prospective, 29er buyers were still in bed with hangovers.

Can't we get that with our Cannondale deal?
Juuust sayin
Jan 14, 2014 at 12:53 AM
Sort of, not quite. The Cannondale discount is "sliding scale" and no one gets 50% MSRP.twoyacks said:Can't we get that with our Cannondale deal?Juuust sayin
Jan 14, 2014 at 01:06 AM
I'm still a race or two shy of upgrading to Cat 4 at which point I'd only be eligible for a 20% break. I paid $1400 for a $2800 bike and I didn't have to pay tax either. Pretty much a no brainer e. Now I'll be racing Cannondales both on the road and in mtb races. That's probably something they as our sponsor would smile upon.
The guy who I bought it from is a Saris employee in Madison. So maybe it can be thought of as sort of a continuation of our defunct Powertap deal

Less time to ride, more time to shop.

Sweet! Name?
