Showcase
Found this a couple of months ago, definitely in need of some tlc. The paint was quite damaged and had bubbled all over.
Build-wise, most original parts are heavily used (and painted over with matte black paint) and the previous owner had replaced derailleurs, shifters, front wheel and saddle, so instead of mounting all original parts, I've decided to go for a Suntour Superbe Pro groupset.
I finished respraying it a couple of weeks ago, I managed to save almost all original decals except...
Restored from frame purchased cheap on Ebay and which is Powder coated and with new cable guide clips and of course New Vintage Cannondale decals.
The groupo is Shimano's 1991 105 index in excellent new like shape. Wheels are Dura Ace hubs with Campy rims and DK spokes with a Dura Ace 8 speed cassette.
A lite and quick responsive ride with a ride not to stiff and uncomfortable with help of the chromoly steel fork.
I can still beat out the Carbon Guys on Treks :)

Got this second hand, gratis (thanks Steve!) it's an M400, not dissimilar to another old C'dale I have, except this one has a replaceable derailliuer hanger, and a rigid fork. I built it up with mostly old parts, running a 34 chainring up front and 7 speed in the back, worked by a homemade drillium derailliuer. The handlebar is an Answer Hyperlight, and I got my hands on some funky old school neon colored cable housing. I traded another frame for some anodized parts and it's sporting...
My F5000 SL ex-sydney olympic spare bike. Got it from Australia, near new condition.
My oldest cannondale in my classic collection, a very special bike. Very fun to ride around town :)
