The R300

This past month after my good friend Chad and Kellie finished Millennium Triathlon I vowed that next year I would be doing it with them. Having been on a major health kick for the past month and a half I have lost 12 pounds and a belt size and a half. Today, I picked up the last tool I needed to complete a Tri, the Cannondale R300. After my father picked up a new Cannondale titanium-framed bike he was ready to part with his old aluminum bike that he used for more than nine years. He was very excited when I mentioned that I wanted to get back into biking. So tonight after the wife dropped me off at my folks home I made the 10 mile trek back home. The Cannondale R300 is not the R300 it was when it was purchased. My father replace almost every part on the bike except for the frame. All new upgraded Shimano gears, high-end Shimano shifters, low spoke Velocity wheels, carbon fiber fork, slim Specialized seat and Performance arrow bars. The final weight on the bike is just around 20lbs. not bad considering my last bike was a 50lbs. steel Schwinn!
