I too just joined the Cannondale club, my first road bike, my first cannondale. I got a relatively basic CAAD8 Sora in 54cm. I can't wait to ride it. Soon as this snow gets a move on and clears off i'll be out riding. Thats for sure. Shame i didn't bring my shoes back home for the holidays. I guess trainers and cheap cages it is!
With this being my first road bike, are there any essential things i should buy? Gears and brakes are a mystery to me. What sort of maintenance do they need?
