A message via Instagram from the 19yo saying "absolutely massive parcel for you at the front door" heralds the build of my first Cannondale. An M300 frameset bought from @ExpertBlay:
Black/purple metallic paint is gorgeous
Today's progress:
Removed the headset it came with - well, most of a headset, because there was no locknut - and replaced it with a nice Stronglight roller-bearing item taken from the Harry Hall:
Fitted an adjustable stem, but then realised the stem has a 26mm clamp and couldn't secure the bars .
Running gear will be 8spd M56x LX, and other parts will be whatever I have lying around or can find cheaply!
