Searching for a 1998 R300

[ChrisW]

Recently I saw a pic of a 1998 R300 in a so called 'Starlight Violet". I've never seen it before and I like it very much. Does anyone have such a bike resp have good quality pictures? It seems to be quite rare and good pics are hard to find. The catalogue only shows the red yellow version that I don't like that much.

Thank in advance

I don't recall seeing that color. I have a 1997 R300 frameset in Galaxy Red sitting here in the stand. I have not seen many R200 or R300 bikes. It seems that Cannondale sold a lot more of the mid range models.

Here's a not very good pic from the vintage Cannondale FB page. I love the color

That color reminds me of the colors I see on one of my favorite custom builder's bikes, Dave Wages of Ellis Cycles. I tend to go for brighter colors. Glad to have landed the R300 in Galaxy Red. The Serotta NHX in fluorescent pink and orange is one of my all time favorites.
