I found this on Belfast gumtree. I've been lusting after a vintage Cannondale for a while.
I picked it up after its been lingering for a while, lots of rusty bolts, bb is shot, headset is also bolloxed. And the rear quick release is jammed in the open position. How on earth....
It's been well used, the fork will need a service (which I will attempt) and the front wheel is a replacement pos. The rear isn't original either. And the left coda crank is a shimano 600 now...
But there are no cracks, disc tabs, it has an original xtr rear mech, LX front, shifts ok, and a lovely reptilian fade paint job.
It's an M so perhaps too big for me, but I'll get it back to working order, put a shorter stem on and go throw around a bit on the Belfast trail areas.
