Nice Canondale, I've been meaning to buy a road bike for a bit of a while now, but I'm leaning towards a Trek myself.

I really like the undertail exhaust on the ZX-6. Kinda keeps you from putting on a fender eliminator kit though, but otherwise it looks clean. Those ZX's are pretty high too, I tried sitting on one and could barely plant my feet on the ground. Nice bike!

Yeah, I'm riding on a Specialized hybrid bike right now, its working out pretty well so far, only about 1000km on it though. I think I'll have to look into the Canondales too from what I've heard and seen.

Buy a litespeed. They are expensive because the frame is titanium. Titanium bikes are crazy, it feels kinda like they are pulling because of the weight. If you get a Trek, get the Lance Armstrong edition, all the others kinda suck and do have lower components than a Cannondale at a comparable price. My brother rides a Giant and loves it, he also has a special edition Giant mountain bike thats freakin awesome. For the price though, go with cannondale, better bike with better options. That is, unless price doesnt matter.

My bro-in-law has like 4 cannondales. I'm not exactly sure how many he has...I just know he sold one of the older ones and got a new exhaust for his Honda Shadow.

Cannondales are ok....

Cannondales are ok but if I would buy one I would get the new 6-13 which is the race bike. It is very nice. My garage is some-what like that minus the motorcycles. I have 2 road bikes ( My new Colnago c50 With full Racord build) and my time trial bike (Elite custom, very fast). I also have 2 mountain bikes (04 Specialized s-works full suspension and a Scott Scale limited hardtail). Treks are ok but there are better bikes out there for the same money. My 2 road bikes are more than a new motorcycle which is pretty sick.
