Too Much Red?


I bought a frame for my road bike on ebay. When I did the bike fitting last year I learned that I needed a frame with a longer top tube and head tube. The 58cm Cannondale looked perfect. I really wanted a carbon frame but after missing a couple of used System 6 frames on ebay at about $850 I came across this CAAD 9 with the same geometry. It's a brand new frame I got for $400. I swapped all the components off my old Cannondale which was flat black. Do you think this is too much red? I just finished building it and haven't ridden it yet. Stay tuned.

Sweet frame Dave. Those caad 9's are nice.

Maybe too much red. That's easy to change when you need new handlebar tape and tires.
