Why I not have seen that post before ?
Fantastic project
These 46er are the sexiest 'dale ever made, my favorite with the EST.

Brian of vintagecannondale got some 85 decals I have drawn for him

Cool - I think I have the same year and coincidentally with a mismatched yellow fork too. Finally got a cable guide in the post so I can begin a refurbishment in earnest. Let me know how you get on with the repaint of the front fork as mine will need doing too. Maybe we can share costs??

Re:

What rear brake does yours have Neil, is it a calliper or rollercam?

I'm going to take my frame and fork to my local car bodyshop and let them take a look before I consider any other options. They have painted a frame for me before and did a great job so I'm not concerned about the quality, it's just whether or not they thing they can match it.

Mine is a rollercam.

Re:

Mine has the calliper rear brake but I will fit an adaptor plate so I can use a rollercam. What's your frame number? If I have any luck colour matching the fork then I will let you know

Will get the serial - it's in the lock up so may take a week. I run a 26" rear and I'm thinking that maybe on gate-sized frames this was the norm (not the 24" of the catalogue?). Otherwise when did the 26/26" kick in - after this old style logo version I have I'm sure...
