Sorry if you have already answered this, but how much did the boys down at Cycle Therapy charge you for the work? I have a look 695 I've been wanting to paint and Cycle Therapy is pretty close to where I live.

Cannondale please take note. If you want to sell a lot more bikes then paint them like this.

Hey, it was $500 for one color and the decals. They did a really good job with my paint, although I've heard a couple friends had issues. They did repaint for free, so that's a plus.

@Canofale, seriously. Their paint schemes have been getting worse and worse over the past few years.

Dang, that's like super classic and super modern at the same time! Clearly built by someone who understands. Love it!

This is a very nice color, and one of the inspiration for me to repaint my tarmac sl3. I chose candy blue though, can't wait to collect it back from the paint shop. [emoji6]

Beautiful! The paint job is perfect for the frame.
I know there's a lot of Cannondale fans here, but for me this is actually the first one I like aesthetically...
It has only gotten better with the tan sidewall tires imho.
And yes, of course the gold pimp chain needed to be ditched :-)

That paint job is very pleasing. White bar tape/saddle goes nice plus the slammed stem (although I think the Thompson stem looked better than the Pro).

Also that gold chain was dope, especially with gumwalls!? why all the hate

+1

How did you find the Thomsom stem? I'd like one to match my seat post but read a lot of bad reviews regards the two bolt face plate.

Dunno man! I thought the gold chain was pretty baller. I only switched to silver when I got the gumwalls. I figured it would be too much yellow all over.

@Canofale, The Thomson stem was fine for the most part, although a friend is using it now and has experience a little bar slipping. The PRO clamping mechanism is far better, though.
