Following some physio for my knees I need to change to a geared bike . Since all my bikes are very similar steel frames I thought I'd try something different and always liked the aesthetics of the 90s Cannondale frames. Picked a slighty ratty 3.0 frame up to try - whether it's too uncomfortable after steel is to be seen ! I'll give it a months trial or so before deciding whether to swap for the steel frame. The plan is to build up with a 9/10 speed Campag group to keep the cost down.
Took the frame to Argos Cycles today for a check over and to get the bottom bracket shell chased and faced . Any excuse to go there - so many amazing frames hanging up !! They have some beautiful new colours in as well , including a colour changing paint they showed me on a carbon frame they'd sprayed .
The frame is pretty scratched but after some t-cut and wax it's looking much better, hard to see in the photo but the metallic paint fade is pretty sweet . Will update with some cobbled together build photos later
