Cannondale Flash - Custom Pink

[vladxc]

Hi folks,

Here I present you my new Cannondale Flash. I thought that this one deserves a new topic because is a unique bike, make for a unique cause. You might know that the pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons and the color pink in general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer. More about this you can read on my blog: Official website of Vlad Sabau | Why pink?

The bike is made with parts that are race ready but of course is made to be strong enough. That's why is not lighter than this.

I am looking forward to get your feedback

Cheers,
Vlad

Nice, but you shoulda chucked the over hyped Sapims and gone with pink Industry 9's if you ask me, woulda been more pinkerer to boot.....

[parkincake]

WOW that's pink, and all round excellent paint job too!! how are the ashima brakes working out for you?

[BoostN7]

That's awesome mate

I thought it was for Ivan Basso to use for the crazy uphill time trial stage on a gravel road for the soon to start Giro d'Italia!

[BoostN7]

I can't stop looking at your bike. I want my Flash sprayed pink but it will void my warranty...

[cityloopcycles]

Great bike. I love seeing bikes in other colors than the typical black, red, and white.

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
@ Mendon - I tried to contact Industry9 but I didn't got an answer and as Sapim is supporting me for so many years was the only way to do it.

@Parkincake - so far the brakes are working great, they have the new lever so I don't have to get them so close to the bars. Anyway I have enough power and a great modulation.

[BoostN7]

Did Cannondale paint the frame for you? Or did you have to get it done elsewhere?

[vladxc]

Yes, Cannondale painted the frame and the fork.

I'd ditch the pink cables and post but other than that I like it.

I'd love to have this bike but can't afford it
