I bought my Cannondale in November 2008 from Flying Ball Bicycle Company in Hong Kong. From January 2009- July 2009, I rode the bike through Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, and England. Near the very end of my trip, she was stolen in one hour's time in London, England. In total, I put about 8,000 miles on her. I miss my bike :(
