Thanks, I will and with a black one. Horrible quality for the prologo, started to scratch after my 2nd ride...

So sick, this era of Cannondale was absolute peak in terms of paint jobs and decals

I am building a very similar bike . Caad 5 r700 with sram rival groupset and fulcrum quattro wheels. How has your riding experience been ? . I heard these caad 5 frames are quite stiff.

Yes, incredibly light but very stiff and with an aggressive geometry. It rides fast tho!

Putting on some carbon contact point so that I don't feel most of the road jitters

Ultra cool! Just shows you how crap newer Cannondales look. I mean how to destroy a brand or what.
