I agree Dave... many folks knock Cdales for harse ride characteristics... but my CAAD 7 (The first Team 7up bike pictured) is incredible... so nimble, and not harsh whatsoever... and this is coming from someone coming off a Serotta Legend Ti. The Cdale accelerates better than the Legend... no question. I was fortunate enough to get Kevin Monahan's backup bike. this frame has hardly been ridden. It spent more time on top of a team car than on the road. |

Nice. My first real road bike that I bought in 1984 was a Cdale. It was a great ride and fast. Even though it was one of the first I never felt that the ride quality was overly harsh. Unfortunately, we me a motorist that did not like to share with others and that was the end of that. One Atala and one Bianchi later I am on a Fondriest Status.

Cipher-
the LeMond in back looks like a 2004 (I have the '04 Buenos Aires, so the decals look familiar) - what year and model is the one in front? |

Cipher...the Tete de course has the 3/2.5 Ti for the down tube and carbon on the top tubeand seat tube .... is the BB and down tube stiff enough? can you do a comparative review against another bike that has a stiff BB and good acceleration? after all, 3/2.5 Ti can be flexy.
Be honest now Thanks |

My bike
I started riding this a year ago and love it. Both bikes in the photo are the same bike, I can move the front tire to make it either a long or short wheel base. And the under seat stearing is great.

I can't give you much of a report, but I'll agree with you about Ti being on the 'flexible' side. I rode a 2003 LeMond Victoire last year, and certainly noticed bottom bracket deflection... I did have a chance to ride to 2003 Tête de Course you see in the picture a little last year, and with the addition of the carbon seat tube, I would have to say the ride does firm up a bit with no chain rub from the front dérailleur. That bike is equipped with Campy which has more trim options in the front dérailleur unlike the Ultegra I rode last year. (This may have allowed me to dial out the potential for the bottom bracket flex/rub one would get while sprinting or climbing out of the saddle). One last point, the '03 is a 55cm (which due to its slightly shorter tub set) which might contribute to a slightly stiffer frame. My bike is a 57cm. Hope this helps!
