thoreau | A Cannondale CAAD 9

I am the proud owner of a Cannondale CAAD 9 Road Bike. It's insane light (1150 grams, 2.2 pounds) aluminum frame - and the Shibano 105 gear system. We got a great deal at GO BIKE in Redwood City. They fit the bike to me on the spot. YAY!

I did a ride out on the new bike this afternoon (a 25 mile loop) and it rides so quietly. its actually a little unnerving. You certainly feel a lot more of the road on this new frame. It's also windy out - and the lighter bike moves a lot more in the wind.
