2012 Gran Fondo Review

Submitted by jbenepe on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 7:15pm

Hi everyone. If any of you rode the Gran Fondo on Sunday we would love to hear your view of the story we did on it. http://cyclistsinternational.com

We had a hard time reaching the organizers so question to you: is it balanced?

Best Route To Norwalk

Submitted by MiamiMarty on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 8:36am

Advice needed on getting from Atlantic Highlands, NJ to Norwalk, Ct.

I am taking the Seastreak into Manhattan and going on the pathway on the Hudson River up to the GW bridge. Am a bit confused on where to go from there. This part of the ride will be day 13 of a 1400 mile ride from Jacksonville to Maine.

Your input is appreciated.

To Darren and whomever else deals with web issues...

I was just notified that my membership is good through 2-2014. I dont think I have paid for another year of membership yet. Though the club is already a bargain, I will take the free year if that is what was intended!

 

CAAD9 Frame replacement options

Submitted by JStavsky on Tue, 05/22/2012 - 4:16pm

Hi,

I crashed my CAAD9 5 and the my frame is all bent. My 105 components are fine. I, local bike stores, and cannondale don't have any frames to replaces it with. The two main options I've been told were either to go get the CAAD10 (which I can only find already uilt with 105s) or to get a Specialized Allez with lowest end components and swap in my components.

1. How does the Allez compare to the CAAD10?

2. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
