91 Cannondale SE1000 Purists look away

Had this ages in a rotten state so decided to breathe some new life into it. The original jet fighter silver was nasty so took it to a place ive used many times to powdercoat and ended up laquering it myself after decals. Not the best finish ive seen tbh but its got an amazing metallic sparkle in the sunlight. Some of the original parts were knackered so used what was to hand and a few new bits... it rides like new and I'm quite fond of it... not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure

Haha I knew the tires would be mentioned... I do have a thing for white tyres

Proper "ghost bike" - looks great. Rear shock is MASSIVE

I can't get my head around the front brake being on a roller; never seen that before, especially when there's plenty of room for a hanger on the flexstem. Appreciate that's how it left the factory, but I clearly haven't had enough coffee today to even be able to work out how that functions...

I never considered the shock as big until you mentioned it
The force 40 brakes work but honestly are a pain to set up

Just like a V-brake works on suspension fork. Or rear suspension. The cable stop is in the cam instead of arm, pulling reverse direction.

To be honest I love the grey against the white
