My CAAD4 still looks like the one above. Have had it for 5 years, have probably ridden it 100 times. As new, bloody light as well.

 

Nice sprayjob though...

Thanks for the comments. The Decals are airbrushed and then pinstriped. The blue was matched with the blue anodised stuff. The cost was R1700 incl. Fork.

 

 

 

I must say that I read all the negative posts about cycleart, so far nothing but professional and enthusiastic. Cliff followed the instructions to the T.

 

 

 

I'll build the bike during the day tomorrow and then post pics.

Excellent paintjob!!

 

I did however notice a small little something ... ... ... ???

I know you are an avid Cannondale man, and so am I!!

 

Can you spot the "NOT"in the picture below....???

 

Cycle Art should know..... They know Cannondales inside out ... ... ???

All Cannondale roadbikes have their name font in small  letters. CANNONDALE mountainbikes always have the name in capitals .. .. !!

 

Just a little bit of trivia!!

 

Still, the bike looks excellent!!

 

Well Done!!

interesting note, now that you mention it, and thinking about all the cannondales, that is correct!

 

 

 

new pub trivia question, like whisky and whiskey!
