Hi all

i know this is a motorcycle forum, but thought i might show off my new toy

A Cannondale Synapse Carbon 4

With huge BB30 bottom bracket

Very sleek in Black

With my Zipp wheels fitted, it weighs in at 7.6Kg, not to bad out of the box, but should be able to shave a little more off that in the weeks to come

About 400 Watts for around 25 seconds, or i reach my lactic threshold, which ever comes first

400 watts - you obviously scream quite loudly

your lactic threshold - I'm afraid to ask...

Probably costs more and goes faster than my race bike, certainly looks better!

Very nice, specially like the front-fork -> frame connection, never seen em that smooth (probably cause I wasn't looking ; ).
Come to think of it, its 10+ years ago I did any decent cycling.

DANG!!!! That bike cost as much, if not more than, the last 3 cars I bought put together.

85 Celica $1200
85 Toyota Pick-Up $100
91 4Runner $1000

That 4 runner was a bargain Tim

Very nice bike. I won't last 1 mile riding on that seat.

The Celica was too, had it eight years now. The 85 was the last of the RWD's.
