Cannondale were dead against this unlike a lot of other teams. I reckon you should send some photos to Cannondale, the work you've done by getting the components etc is admirable. I have a feelin' Cannondale would feel the same way and maybe even be able to help you out with getting the frame you really want cheaply. Its worth a try and they are really helpful.CTK":1d4n3grh said:Many team riders had bikes built by small custom builders and then painted up in team colours...
