ChrisL Posted June 29, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 29, 2022 It looks cool but a bit too bold for my tastes. Kudos to Cannondale EF for equipping the ladies team with the same bikes, groupo & wheels as the men. I saw a video recently (cycling tips maybe?) where they profiled several womens teams bikes and I was bummed to see many teams put the ladies on Ultegra, Force or lower spec frames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - we saw that at the Olympics and Worlds. Luckily, the gap is very small between the various Shimano gruppos (DA, Ultegra, and now 105) probably the same for SRAM and Campy, and sometimes its might make sense to cut that corner in order to do some other things that a really tight budget requires. But it sure looks bad when a female wins a huge race, and the sponsor's finish photo shows the lower level or previous generation equipment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because they cause drag, but the buyer can install them easily Nice that C'dale give you the option. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too big IMO. If I were to buy one, I'd get the trek decal in a non bright color, like SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what it is? I believe mine is called amplified alchemy. It's magical in the sun. Oddly when I bought my bike I was going to the shop to ride a Domane and order it in the color I now have. I was talking to the guy about it and he said it's an awesome color. I said if only I could see it. He said turn around and there was my bike up on a pedestal just waiting to be bought. It was a Madone, known for being a more aggressive ride, but I've had it for a year and a half and been surprised that this 58-year-old can still ride it. It seems their Project One system doesn't allow for as much customization as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then went smaller on the top tube, now bigger on down tube again I also don't like how Cannondale now uses what looks like a standard arial font I wish they would always use their own 1988 my 2010 2021 2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
