Custom bikes at Housatonic

The Housatonic Valley Classic is one of the closest major US races to the HQ of aluminium bike maker Cannondale, so it's no surprise that four teams sponsored by the fat tube specialists were out in force. Kirsten Begg snapped the teams' bikes as they lounged around the pits showing off their custom colours.

  • Wheelworks' black, red and yellow looks like 50mph standing still. Wheelworks is a very successful New England team co-sponsored with Belmont Wheelworks, a Massachusetts retailer. Cannondale frame designer Chris Peck rides for this team - he's responsible for all the Saeco and other team frames.
  • Stage 1 - the in-house C'dale team not hiding in the office with this striking paintjob
  • 7Up NutraFig's CAAD5s are understated grey with tasteful 7UP green and white. Classy!
  • Sierra Nevada Brewing Team is a team in its first year pro, sponsored by a Californian brewery. They have a mix of old and young and include NCAA Road Champion Benjamin Jacques-Mayne; and they have matching tyres
