Price Paid:  $0.00 at LBS

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
ANY

Bike Setup:
Switched tires for Continental Ultra Race.
Ritchey carbon pro seatpost.
Terry Fly TI saddle.
Salsa riser stem.
Campy Centaur brake calipers.
Rest is stock.

Summary:
I bought this bike after a major crash bent the chain stays of my previous R600. Wanting to upgrade and after doing a lot of research & testing I came across this bike on clearance. I bought it on the spot and since then I have logged over 1000 miles on it (its not my primary ride) and loved all of them. Since the pavement around here suffers greatly for our harsh Midwest winters I am forced to ride on a large variety of pavement types from good to bad and this bike has handled it all well and keeps asking for more.

Strengths:
It is a great value package (at the time it was new), it is also lightweight and responsive. The Mavic wheelset is nice and the nearly full Ultegra gruppo is great!

Weaknesses:
The stock seat, brake calipers and tires were junk, GONE!

Model Year:
2003

Favorite Ride:
anything over 40 miles

Bike Setup:
stock plus ultegra pedals, Ultra Race Conti tires and several tubes.

Summary:
I got a great deal on this 2003 as the new 04's were coming in... after 7000 miles, I am still very much in love with this bike. It surprises many, especially considering my size. even at times (winter) when I am pushing 215lbs, this beauty never complains and rewards me even more on the descents. I keep looking around with thoughts of upgrading this or that... but she's been perfect despite crashes... may be the last bike I ever own.

Strengths:
solid performance, dependable. quick when I can be... forgiving when I can't

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
This isn't a very strong bike. I sincerely regret my purchase, especially after reading this:

http://pardo.net/pardo/bike/pic/fail/FAIL-022.html

I have a dent in the bike from my knee hitting it while riding hard and I didn't expect this to happen.

Price Paid:  $1600.00 at Bikesmith's-Blooming

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
anywhere when it's warm with a tailwind

Bike Setup:
Shimano Ultegra (double)
Mavic Kysrium LS wheels
Easton E90 carbon handlebars
Shimano X2 speedplay pedals
Thompson 70mm stem

Summary:
I love this bike. I upgraded from the R600 and the increase in quality was outstanding. I am constantly training, going out on rides that last up to 8 hours in a day and this bike takes everything I give it. I have the 2005 model and luckily so, because for 2006 they downgraded this bike significantly. I'm a huge Cannondale fan, and as soon as the funds allow I have my eye on a new SystemSix.

Strengths:
-Light.
-Stiff.
-Very Durable.
-Very sexy in the matte black frame.
-Responsive.
-Easy to upgrade

Weaknesses:
-I've been having a problem just lately where my chain pops off the front chainring. I've heard that was a defect in the model that i have but warranty is covering it.
-If Cannondale made a 53cm it would fit me perfect...
