Vanity. Pure Vanity...

Hey guys,

I'm planning to buy a new 2010 Cannondale CAAD9 when I can scrape together the dough and I know it shouldn't matter, but I really liked the look of the red/white colour scheme. Cannondale, in their infinite wisdom, have decided not to release this one in Europe though so I'm stuck choosing between the Liquigas team replica or matt black. I can't do it alone! Please help me decide if I actually really like the Liquigas or if black is a bit too boring! I've stuck a pic of the red/white (USA only) in as well just so we can all agree that it's the nicest.

Black, definitely.

But I really like the Cannondale Six 105 Compact in red.

Black is boring - I would go for the Liquigas one.

Why are you buying a cannondale and not 'a n other'?

Can't be because of the reviews...

I don't like the blue/green/ white mix of the leaky gas one. I prefer black to white anyway, so I'd go for that.

Black,

Liquigas for me. Its the one that made me go oooh, when I looked at it.

Black is so dull and boring IMO. And doesn't look right on that bike.

Oh I don't know, I think Cannondale are mostly over the old crack 'n fail reputation. And from what I've read, the CAAD9 seems to be considered one of the best alloy frames around...

Also, they've souped-up the CAAD9 a bit for 2010 - new BB30 standard bottom bracket, full carbon monocoque forks and the new Ultegra 6700 is really nice. Still, it is pretty pricey for an alloy bike.

Black, it's the best colour for most bikes

Liquigas. With green Lizard Skin bar tape and blue tyres. Man, that thing would be sweet!
