It´s time to present my latest purchase here. Found by chance at the ibc Forum in the classic section. One of the members found an old Cannondale in his cellar and asked for a price since he had no need for this one… Here are a few pics of the original state: As you can see, complete...

One of my absolutely favorites, a 88th custom painted red shred. Found this beautiful frameset on eBay and it came from Hungary. the Price was ok the shipping costs horrible high but how often do you get a chance to get a Hand on custom painted C´Dales? Here in Germany it´s something like a...

Found a SE 1000 frameset in bad shape a few month ago... Looked good on first sight but it was badly sprayed with a can, so it required a new paintjob. After a few days of thought I decided not to go for a catalog rebuild. This way I could create a new color sheme for the frameset... Black...

This one was really hard to find, mainly because it wasn´t named as a cannondale on eBay. Nearly by chance it was found by a nice guy at the classic ibc forum, who gave a hint... Really ugly, or not? So I bought it for little money and I was surprised, that it was in complete original state...
