Cannondale ‘00 (January 11)

Ten years ago I bought a Cannondale R1000 covered in a striking orange that made for an emotional attachment that consistently suppresses my instinct to get something newer and more shiny. Even after these years, it continues to draw second-glances and compliments (it doesn’t hurt that it’s kept clean). This is the design legacy we strive for; to look at something ten years later and say, “I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”
