That Cannondale looks nice. You did well there, love the early CAADS. Went mountain biking back in the day, I had a GT from the sale rail and my mate comes round the corner on a carbon fibre raven super V. That pee'd on my chips I can tell you...

Brilliant.
Yeah, know that feeling. Buying two frames within a week (not as bargainous as yours) was the reason I didn't try for the wicked lopro.
You gonna do a thread on it?

Never have done a thread, could do but it probably won't be that interesting.

Currently building 6 bike projects so maybe I should do a bulk thread.

I'm constantly building and buying so it could be a good way of externalising.

I've also just won my 4th frame of the week, whooops....

What are your plans for the speedway bike?
Proper speedway or weird street fixed?
Mine is surprisingly capable as the latter.

I never intend to race so it'll likely be the latter.

I've always absolutely loved yours, this one doesn't look to have as much clearance though

Splendid!
The forks are the same and I crimped the chain stays on mine a bit to take the slightly spaced out 50t chain ring. So you can't be far off.

Kinda sad I forgot to bid more on that speedway bike

I can only hope I can get something close to your build.

I seriously love the wishbone stays though.

What rims are these? Also what size are the tyres?

Nice let's face it, anyone that gets its after the frame. Not sure how high this sat in the "Dales" hierarchy though. CAAD 4 isn't that high right?

Think that DeKerf went for £350, if I'd had any more room (and money) could have been a cool build.

caad4 was still made by cannondale in the usa so that frame will be high end aluminium construction

wish it was taller

Good enough for this dude

Good spot. Shame he's selling it as a bike where I'd bin the parts anyway. My road bike (well TT) cost me £450 plus £50 for a new front wheel as the parts were already sorted too.
