Bike Setup:
CAAD frame, Spinergy RevX wheelset, ITM stem and bar, Dura-ace drivetrain, Conti (love 'em) tires.

Summary:
I've been very happy with the bike. Makes me feel fast even when I'm not. I have upgraded several parts, some from old bikes, some new parts. Switched wheels to Spinergy RevX, there a little heavyer, but alot faster on level ground. New Chris King headset---ten year warrenty how can you go wrong? Also went with ti stem, just cause I had one.

Strengths:
Light frame, good for climbing and still very stable.

Weaknesses:
Hate Shimano bottom brackets. Had nothing but problems with them. Might switch crank arms just to get away from them.

Summary:
An excellent bike and a great value. I bought mine after the 2001 bikes came out and saved big. My bike has the flamin' orange fade paint scheme with orange anodized wheels which frequently gets me positive comments.

The mix of Shimano Ultegra and 105 components work well. There isn't a big need to upgrade the components to improve functionality, as all the Shimano parts work well.

The bike started off weighing at 19 pounds before pedals and accessories were installed.

Fun to ride. A keeper.

Strengths:
This is a great bike for all day riding as it is very comfortable, light and feels fast. Steers and stops with precision.

It has not required any repairs during the time I've owned it.

Weaknesses:
The aluminum frame is so stiff that no shock absorbtion is provided. This will take some getting used to on rough pavement. The carbon fork doesn't seem to help. Buy some good shorts.

Summary:
I have a 2001 with the onfire fade paint with just under 1000 miles so far. This bike is a total rocket! Cannondale delivers with superb build quality, light weight, an incredible frame, and perfect geometry for laser-sharp handling and stability. As good as the bike is, the dealer is even better. I usually deal with Dave, but everyone has been unbelievable. They will beat any price in town and then bend over backwards to make sure you are happy. Renton is a little out of the way for me but I give Center Cycle all the business I can.

Strengths:
The frame: light, stiff, and compliant. I think the rear of the bike rides as smoothly as the front with the carbon forks.
The handling
Cannondale quality

Weaknesses:
None
