That would be interesting. I used to have a case hardened shotgun. It was almost tiger striped. I think it was an H & R, don't remember what I did with it.

Love the Serottas!
Thanks. I should attempt to count sometime, but Serotta and Cannondale are roughly equal in numbers in my collection.

The vision is getting closer to the finish. Some of the final parts are ordered.
Wheels are OEM Cannondale DT Swiss rims and rear hub, with a Lefty. In white of course!
Drivetrain is the Box 2 Prime 9 with the 11-50T cassette. I am so close to the finish line. Frame is all primered, sanded and waiting on some warmer weather so the 2K white base coat and clear can cure properly. Only need a few odd and ends, chainring, disc rotor, and other frame bolts and I am done. Then it's on to the fun job of servicing all my other bikes. I just SO love cleaning and lubing bearings, adding sealant to the bikes with tubeless tires, ... yeah fun stuff.

What size chainring are you going to run? I've yet to try a 1X setup or even a double on a MTB.

I run 32T on all my 1x setups with the exception of a 34T oval I have but isn't currently installed on anything now. It was on the F600 until I got the GRX 2x installed on it. I've found that when riding my bikes with 3x setups I spent most of my time riding on the middle chainring which is 32T, so that what I stick with.
Most of the newer Cannondale MTBs are equipped with 34T chainrings.
I was thinking more about the high and low gear ratios compared to a traditional 22/32/42 and 11-30 setup. Most of MTB rides involve some pavement riding, although I don't know how much time I spend in the 42/11 combination. Working from the low gear combination, 22/30 is roughly equal to 36/50.

To be honest, the #1 reason I like to use 1x setup is that it's a whole lot more simple. The gear ratios aren't radically improved. Cable routing is simplified as well, beyond that there is nothing wrong with 2 or 3x systems.

That looks fantastic! You’re hired!

As crazy as it sounds, it's not difficult to do. However, it is stressful because painting really tweaks me "it's not perfect" button worse than working on aircraft ever did.
What I see as a flaw, both my brother and sister-in-law couldn't even find, so I am overthinking it

It was too hot in my shed to properly work and get things done, but I managed to get a few more finishing touches wrapped up. Plus a little bonus Cannondale logo appearing where it never was before.
You can still see some of the little scratches and gouges that were in the frame when I got it a four years ago. It's come a long way into the bike I wanted it to be in the beginning, but it's almost there.
