1999 CAAD 4 R4000

[JohnnyD]

Found this while search E-bay today. I have to admit that even I am a tiny bit interested in it, especially since it is located in Texas but it's 54cm which is too small for me. Damn fine looking example though.

Another paint job that's not in the catalog. Mine is Team Blue with yellow decals. I've never seen one in ChromaLusion Jade.

The early version of the '99 catalog does show this paint job. The other is the ChromaLusion Jade. Both of which I would love to have a bike painted in. I am just bummed it's too small for me, if only it was a 58 cm!

Interesting that the USA Fade was discontinued and Team Blue substituted. I wonder why.

Cannondale has always made me wonder why over the years.
Honestly, I never have really liked the Team Blue colors all that much. The USA Fade was much better, and much more fitting for Cannondale bikes at the time. I am really bummed that it's only a 54 cm frame because I like it THAT much.

I've always liked my Team Blue R4000 but have never seen the other two paint schemes except in photos. I have a CAAD3 R4000 with the flip flop paint that's admittedly much flashier than Team Blue.
