This is my 2012 Cannondale SuperSix. It came with Sram Apex components with white cable housing but I had to change them to Shimano 105 and black housing. Had to get rid of the Sram because it was just terrible! This bike is nice and rides good but not one of favorites. I’m just not a fan of...

Here’s my 2015 CAAD10. Paid $100.00 for the frame, fork, seat, post, stem and bars from a friend at a local shop. Put the rest together and here it is. Great riding bike I ride all the time. Not at all vintage but I just thought I would share.

Here’s my 2002 Cannondale 9/11 Commemorative Edition CAAD5. I was looking for this one for a long time and finally found it. It was a needle in a hay stack find because I found it just a mile away from my house, in very near mint condition and my size 54cm. The only thing wrong with it is a...

Here is my 2003 Cannondale R2000 CAAD7 from you guessed it Craigslist. This thing was in mint condition and just needed a good cleaning from sitting for so long. All I bought for this one was the tires, pedals, seat and wrapped the bars. It had the same tires on it when i bought it but I...

Here’s my 1997 Cannondale R800 CAAD3. Found it on Craigslist for $150.00. I wanted to try something different from stock so here it is. I took off the drop bars and shift/brake levers and went with the down tube shifters and Origin8 Urban bars. After stripping it down and giving it a good...

Just thought I would share this one to anyone that cares. Not at all vintage but just happens to be one of my favorites that I own. Even though it has the bottom of line Shimano 105 components I wouldn’t trade or sell this one for anything! I have put the 105 groupset on a few of my road bikes...

Here is another Craigslist find I acquired about 2 months ago for $200. It looked horrible and needed a good cleaning which is what I gave it! Stripped everything off re-greased and gave the frame a good buffing and waxing. Put new tires, pedals, bar tape and cables on it. Everything was...

This one I just finished! 1999 Cannondale CAAD4 Custom. The frame and fork was given to me by a machnic at my local bike shop as a thank you for clear coating a frame for him. He said the forks came off a 2002. He knows I love Cannondale and my frame size is a 54 as this one is. I had everything...

This is my 1987 Cannondale ST400. Nothing but the frame is original. Put together with all kinds of different parts. Nothing special here but still a great riding bike and an old frame that was able to get back on the road and not in the garbage.

(((UPDATED THE PICS BECAUSE I FOUND SOME AWESOME SHHWALBE TABLE TOP GUMWALLS))) Here is my 1992 Cannondale M700. I am the original owner from 1992. Everything is original accept the seat, tires and rear cog (still have original cog). I’ve had many bikes that I have bought and sold since 1992 but...

I know it’s not vintage but I thought I would post this one for any Hooligan fans. Nothing special here just a 2010 Hooligan all original accept the tires.

Very first restoration for me here. Paid $125 off Craigslist, had all original components but needed cleaning. Components cleaned up to very close to new condition but frame needed work. Found Vintage Cannondale were I could get the decals and cable guides I needed. I am a mil spec painter not a...
