I was greatly helped by another poster with a similar model while spending hours trying to identify a bike I came across.

So I'm leaving behind this breadcrumb for the next person who can't find hide nor hair on this model.

Description & identifying features:
- Blue with bamboo and dragonfly patterns/decals.
- Alloy frame.
- Original wheels Ksyrium elite.
- Original groupset = Ultegra 10sp with either a double or triple chainring.
- some kind of kanji script and red symbols.
- Can also be narrowed down/differentiated by a hole in it's drop out that other similar frames (e.g. CAAD8) didn't seem to have.



the model is a 2006 R1000 Féminine with an optimo feminine frame, slice premium fork.

It also had a matching jersey and the year afterwards in 2007 it was the same design but in green.

Photos attached. Hope who ever you are, stumbling along trying to ID you find it here :D

Thanks for posting. I have only come across one Feminine road frame, which I purchased used in Madison WI for a friend. I was thinking it was a CAAD9 but all the Feminine frames in the catalogs seem to be either Optimo or Synapse. The hole in the dropout was something I hadn't noticed as being specific to the Feminine frames. I know that CAAD5 through CAAD7 frames have the dropout window. I will have to check my CAAD9 and Optimo frames but from catalog pictures it appears that they don't have the window.
