Cannondale M800 project

[johnkiteman]

Thank you both for constructive advice on creaking solutions

seem to come from everywhere! - steel frames don't worry me like this!

Serial number - B1-0301

What does this mean????

I think that that is a batch number and not the serial number.

I like the Pepperonis ;-) I've got a Quadra 10 that'll fit it, but that doesn't get you away from the 1-1/4in headset and quill stem.

haha - you lot are going to hate me and wish me shot for this

very much heath robinson in conception and execution but it could work!

No original parts were damaged in this experiment......much

shoestring budget and very much work in progress - let me know what you think (in a gentle way!) Stem needs to be shorter but I have run out of money

 

[johnkiteman]

hehe - you are all so disgusted you cannot even bring yourselves to comment!!!!

lol - I cannot divulge my exact location as I fear there may be some retrobike purists with guns after me but it is somewhere in the region of Penge.

Frame is very good - wanted to do so much more with it but lack of work/money restricted this exercise. At least I will ride it now as a pub bike and for road work.

Also - I love the way it is just mental looking

He he - no worries..... I am on t'other side of SE London, so I won't be looking out for a lunatic with drop bars chasing me down the high street!!!

Yep, I know what you mean, re money on the builds, it takes time and sourcing the parts (period/retro/original) takes a lot of effort...

BUT, we all get there in the end my good man, and in the meantime ENJOY!
