Mary's bike was built on the cheap with a hodgepodge of quality used parts. The goal was to create a sleek, aerodynamic machine with quality, race worthy parts as inexpensively as possible. The frame is a 2002 Cannondale IM 2000. Aluminum frames can be made quite aerodynamic with large, bladed tubes and smooth welds, but cost a fraction of what fancy carbon frames cost. A Shimano Ultegra drivetrian with a mix of VisonTech and Ritchey components kept the price low and ultra reliable. The wheels are spare no expense Reynolds Stratus UL's, and if crosswinds are not a factor, a Renn disc rear wheel is used.

Damn thats a fast bike. The blue flames on black look super cool too.
How much do you want for it.
OH YEAH AND I LOVE YOU SISTER!!!
SO I EXPECT TO GET IT ON THE CHEAP.
Looks pimp with the Reynolds/Renn wheel combo. Very nice.
We are still planning on getting Heather an Equinox this fall/next spring. They seem to come spec'd pretty well from the factory.
carbon wheels are like breast implants for bikes
Horner! Nice win today. And now he's in the leader's jersey as well.
I saw that. He was right up with the big guns at Liege also.
