View Full Version : New Ride - System 6 Porn
HillBillies 06-16-2007, 05:28 AM OK - My new ride is here and I am stoked. Here are a few snaps for those that are interested.
Specs - System 6 Team. Campy Record.
Changes - I swapped out the Barloworld frame for full black. I went with a compact crank 50/34 and 25/11 - appears to be best of both worlds. The front der is a Record Compact.
Wheels - Fulcrum Racing 1's in black.
It's a 58 with a 100mm stem. I'm 6"1' with very long inseam ie long legs, relatively short torso.
Pedals are Time Carbon.
Here are the pics including some detail shots.

acckids 06-16-2007, 06:03 PM I would be stoked too. Nice ride. I have never owned a Cannondale because of fit issues with my oddball body but have always been impressed with their constant tech upgrades. Enjoy.
fearby 06-23-2007, 11:03 AM Nice pics too - camera as good as the bike I think!

zamboni 06-26-2007, 05:58 PM How do you like the Fulcrum wheels ?

So far so good. Nice and stiff, pretty light, look good. Time will tell in terms of durability. They seem to be good for all around use.

ashpelham 06-27-2007, 08:24 AM That's a beautiful C'dale. I have always loved the bikes Cannondale makes. I'm on my third right now (05 R1000).
My eye is on the System 6 too...
zamboni 06-27-2007, 09:41 PM With Super Six is coming out perhaps you can get a good deal on Systems Six frame.
fornaca68 06-28-2007, 04:43 AM Dang! Nice camera, dude! Good-looking bike too.
robertburns3 07-03-2007, 07:00 AM I am just returning to studying the C'dale line. Is the system 6 stem hard to change out? From what I understand it is integrated with the "system" of the fork and frame. Are you forced to use their branded stem or will other brands work?
Lou1187 07-03-2007, 07:52 AM Other stems do work, however depending on what you use, it can/or will look goofy.

The base is 1 1/4 inch and the top portion of the steering tube is the standard 1 1/8 inch.
zamboni 07-04-2007, 06:18 AM The base should 1.5 and top tube is 1.18.

Thanks for catching my type-O !!
man, what canon camera is that? super sharp and nice contrast.
LeDomestique 07-04-2007, 06:29 PM It's not about the camera....it's the photographer.....
im a photographer... camera is more than 50% of it. a crap camera will make it look like crap. a nice camera/lense and lighting makes it look like that. nice contrast and lens that can focus and have that range.
HillBillies 07-10-2007, 03:51 AM man, what canon camera is that? super sharp and nice contrast.
Ok Ok - for those interested in photography. The light was nice - late afternoon - I used a longish lens and a wide aperture - that is why they "pop". The camera is a Canon EOS 1D Mk2 and the lens is a EF70-200f/2.8 L IS. The shots were hand held, very hasty, no processing, no cropping, no care...really.
Cheers
