Dan Schmalz’s Cannondale CAAD Something…
Â
Dan Schmalz recently stormed his way to victory (and the yellow jersey) at the FBF Tuesday night race series. We were lucky enough to grab some pictures of the mighty racer’s rig. We had to use a very high shutter speed to photograph the bike as it normally vibrates — even when standing still. This is but one of 20 bikes schmalz will go through in the course of one season. He has them stacked in his garage like cord wood. He has a holistic approach to wrenching, when one part wears out, he replaces the entire bike. We photographed his bike resting against schmalz’s outdoor commode.
You really are keeping it real, REAL OLD!
all you need is a nice kit- instead of that 1960’s tye dye color shit rag.
Here I have been riding a bike with tires that just spin “On” Earth, but Schmalz’s rig has tires that spin “the” Earth. Genius! Where can I get these tires/nuclear powered magnetizers? $7,000 is a steal!!!
If you really want to go fast you have to file off all those dimples on the rims from the manufacturing process
Does it come in pink? And with a triple?
Oh and yes a new lighter race rig (Caad 9) with new bearings, etc will make him faster both on the pedals and in the mind! New bikes sometimes give you a new motivation to get out there and ride… I love Cannondale though!
trade ya for a trunk full of trinkets
a $10,000 bike wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference.
actually it’s a pretty nice race rig.
sold! I accept Paypal, money orders, wire transfers, wampum, and pelts.
I bid $7000
I have been behind schmalz in prospect and heard that ancient beat creaking and cracking….and was thinking to myself can’t this guy work out some deal with a bike company, free advertising, and get himself a respectable 200 era bicycle.
You shoulda had a pic of the daughter wearing the FBF medal.
I’m more interested in the well. That’s where the bling is at.
really feeling cannondale bikes these days. i should get one to use as my “crit bike”
this is fantastic
