Great job and looked really cool, I like it alot, did you do the paint job on the frame?

Just fallen in love :shock:

Very very nice.

Not enough Cannondale's round here and that one hits the spot.

I don't think there are many '87 frames that would look so convincingly "modern" (modern in retro terms, that's not an insult ;-) )

The geometry looks just right, and though I must admit that yellow would be one of my last colour choices it looks pretty good here

not bad but wait till you see mine nah,seriously,looks great in those colours.any reason for not fitting an older rear mech?

Any reason for not fitting an older rear mech?

Availability mate, looking for a nice long cage M-730 to match the front- anyone??

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks again for all the advice.

Its funny that there are so few Cannondales on here considering how many were built.

Just found some nice NOS Onza CWAs in blue ano as a final touch- suppose these projects are never finished
