Hi All :) ,

I have been a reader on this site for a while and finally decided to sign up and post my collection of road bikes 8)

1. Colango C-50. Buillt it up in July 08 with Campy Record 10sp and shamal Ultra

2. Cannondale CAAD9. Built it up May 09 with all the parts from my Colnago

CAAD9 is my current bike coz I found a paint crack on the top of the seat-stay (C-50 :cry: ), so the frame was shipped back to Colnago for warranty....and still waiting

3. Specialized Tarmac SL. Built this up in Nov 08 with SRAM RED and Corima Aero. This was my spare bike when I travel to Taiwan

Hope you like these bikes, and fire away if you have any questions.
Cheers

The big questions:
1. Which do you prefer?
2. What's the mass difference? (you did weigh them, I assume)

I love this example because you're comparing bikes with identical parts and wheels. One doesn't get that often.

How does the Cannondale compare to the Colnago? I assume that sweet looking Specialized is the least favorite of the 3? Hope you get the Colnago back soon.

Love the C50! I bet it rides as good as it looks!

And of course I might be a ´little´ partial to the CAAD :P Happy enough with the Ultra fork on it?


Just curiously, how would you compare the CAAD to the C50?
