My new caad 8.
I have upgraded the wheels and saddle. I also changed the bar tape.

    Nice paint job! Cannondales can be a bit dull (I can say that, I own one) but that's nice.

    I love the Ksyriums, great wheels and those are the first I've seen with white hubs.

    The bike was £999. I managed to get the wheels from Planet X for £250.
    It's great to ride and even better with the Krysiums on.
    It has the 2011 105 groupset which is really smooth.

    The 2011 105 is much cleaner looking with all the cables hidden under the bar tape, I'd like that on my older 105. 250 was a great price for the wheels.

    That's nearly as nice as my Supersix! ;)

    How are you getting on with the Edge 500?

    Are those Elite cages? They go really well with the frame. I like the red pedals as well - I may buy a set of red Zeros for my Supersix to swap for the white ones currently on there.

    Very nice bike mate :D

    The Edge 500 is great I've had it around a year now. I'm thinking of getting a cadence sensor next.
    The bottle cages are Specialized ones.

    Cadence sensor is worth it's weight in gold for training. I have a Shimano Flightdeck and it's got a cadence feature.

    Think I need to start looking for good deals on a Garmin sensor, you have convinced me that I need one :wink:

    Amazon have the cadecne sensor at a great price, it was the cheapest i could find online when i brought my one, and its been a great help when training, even when using the turbo trainer is comes in handy.

    Like the colour scheme - Maybe worth trying red bar tape to balance the red in the frame and the red pedals. :)
