Tandem seen on Ragbrai

[rickpaulos]

repaint, rebuild. from Florida.

Not a fan of the paint, the pink accents, or the splatter. Looks like an expensive rebuild, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

I see that Florida man strikes again.
I am all for the bold colors that Cannondale used to use on their bikes, but this one is taking it a bit TOO far.

I agree that the paint on that tandem is bold, but it fits right in with the RAGBRAI vibe. A few years ago I rode RAGBRAI on my 1999 T1000 and enjoyed seeing all sorts of boldness among the 30,000 cyclists making their way 500 miles from the Missouri to the Mississippi River: big-wheeled unicycles, a 1980 Peugeot singlespeed conversion, recumbents and recumbent trikes, a man on a Schwinn whose T-shirt read: "1939 Man; 1941 Schwinn". Lots and lots of vintage C'dales of course too.
