ups ... nobody want's to start the competition - this month I will throw in the ring the famous red-yellow tin - made in US by Cannondale of Alcoa alloy. The SAECO Cannondale CAAD3 in 1996 Team specification with the four spoke superlight Spinergy rev-x wheelset.

Characteristic for this bike was the ugly red-yellow Cinelli macro-splash bar tape on a Cinelli Eubios and the super light Motorcycle 900 R crankset from Coda. Such a bike takes Supermario to a multi-winners season and Ivan Gotti to his first triumph at Giro d'Italia. The very stiff Frame set was equipped with TIME's steel/carbon fork and Shimano's Dura Ace 9-speed group set.

Re:

You get a T-shirt with every bike, Gridno27?

 

[gridno27]

yep - if possible

after decision to start with a project I also start to look for the original Team's Jersey and if possible the bib too.
I think I am a little bit crazy but I like to ride my bikes and if possible in the right clothes.

Some time it's more difficult to find the jersey than to find the parts for the bike.

Going to add one of my own:

Tel's 1989 Peugeot 653 Athena

Originally restored to sell on but it is so clean and original (apart from the 4cd rims which were originally 2cd) I just had to keep it. Managed to convince the missus that it would make a nice quirky piece of interest in the house where it has been since restoration was complete and is set to remain!
