Just finished building up this Cannondale 2.8, took it to my lbs to put in a new ck headset and tune up the gears.
Got a call a few hours later to say they had spotted a small crack in the ds seat stay . The frame is toast! Gutted, will have to start stripping it down before I even had a chance to properly ride it .
At least they found it then rather than me discovering it mid-ride when the frame snapped. Good luck I suppose but can't help feeling gutted. Trying to decide whether to risk another vintage Cannondale to replace it or go modern alloy/steel...
I have the original carbon fork that 'Ill put up in the for sale thread if anyone can make use of it.
