I'm looking into buying a Cannondale CAAD 8 -or trying to convince my parents to help me with it, and call it a Christmas present- but I just talked to someone at the semi-local bike shop, and now I'm a bit confused. But on the upside of things, the bike(s) I'm looking at are $899 instead of the $1099 last time I looked! Yay for end of season sales!
She told me that they have two CAAD 8s. One is 54 cm and silver, the other 52 cm and red. (I think I like silver better). She told me that they are 2006 CAAD 8s, but then also "R 700s". What does that mean? When I look on the Cannondale website, under CAAD 8 they have "optimo 1" and "optimo 2." So what is the R700 thing? Is the optimo 1/2 for the 2007 models and the R700 is the 2006 ones?
TIA :)
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
