My first road bike

RubbishCyclist

After deciding to do a charity ride and initially trying to train on a Specialized Rockhopper with slicks i decided this wasn't a very efficient way of doing it and by then i was hooked on road cycling so here she is, my Cannondale CAAD 8, absolutely love it, it fits me really well and i adore the colour scheme!

I think some new wheels may be on the cards at some point but otherwise im just gunna ride it until it breaks

What's all that kit on the handlebars?

Ah i put my cateye on it off my mountain bike and the other bit is my light mount as im cycling a fair bit at dusk. The bit in the middle is a mount for my samsung as i like using all the gps apps to challenge myself to beat my times

Same as mine Bet you paid less for it too...

Now, when the Luganos wear out you need a set of these to complete the look

Is that a mount for the Galaxy S3? If so where did you get it and is it actually any good? (i.e safe and secure)

Can't really afford a Garmin so wouldn't mind having a mount for my S3.

Nice bike too!

Haha Gizmo, funnily enough ive already got some on my watch list on ebay.......trying to work out whether the boss would notice.....concluded she would and id get shouted at so they will have to wait....are they better than the lugano's to ride?

Shamrock, no its for the S2 but yeh its rock solid, once clipped in it wont come out, i just cable tied mine to the stem and through the stem clamp bolts at the front. A quick look on ebay found this for the S3....cheers

I haven't actually fitted them to mine yet: they're sat in the cupboard waiting for the Luganos to get knackered first, but I might just switch them over anyway. Get really good reviews though and the colour is a pretty good match
