Chigasaki Style: Blue Skies and Deep Purple!
by: Naoki Sakai

Hello everyone!  The October skies of Chigasaki are as beautiful as anywhere in Japan.  From the daytime pure blue color, to the evening sunset, the fresh and clean air truly makes one feel great to be alive!  Today, I have a 2019 Cannondale Caad 12 to show you.  The Caad 12’s legendary aluminum frame is lighter, stiffer and smoother than many carbon frames.  It is simply the most sophisticated, highest performing aluminum frame ever made. This year’s models come in colors of Graphite with black and silver accents, Cashmere white with black lettering, and Deep Purple, with jet black accents and letters…the bicycle I have photographed from our porch overlooking Southern Beach!

The Caad 12 is a SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy with Ballastec full carbon forks.  The contrast between the purple bodied frame, it’s black highlights in combination with the black coloring of the forks makes for sparkling gloss machine that is a wonder to behold.  It’s a sharp looking bicycle, for certain!

Its fully equipped with Shimano’s highly regarded and often called the highest cost performance derailleur set in the world, the 105, with Fulcrum Racing Sport rims, hubs and spokes. It is a beautiful bicycle in any setting, but please come to Chigasaki and see how the charm, elegance and style of Deep Purple matches the autumn allure of the Shonan coast.  The cost of the 2019 Cannondale Caad 12 105 is 190,000 yen +TAX.

You are welcome to drop in to Y’s Road, and see this bicycle, along with our full line of road bicycles and accessories.  We will be glad to assist you in any way, to find the right product for your road cycling needs.  Afterwards, you can check out the beach, and perhaps stick around for the incredible sunsets along the ocean, with a full view of Mt. Fuji, in the distance!
