alrite, new year new blablabla. as everyone knows the cannondale project was scrapped as too small. a wild 90s panasonic cx of tange prestige appeared to substitute it as a daily rider. tune hubs, paul controls and simworks cable housing, highly lockable again. please don't steal.
it's currently enjoyed in 700c as i haven't had a chance to ruin it by moving the canti studs for 650b yet. rides supple by absorbing all watts presented. the few reasons to keep it are the (brexit riv™) longer wheelbase inspires confidence on steep descents and it climbs well. i don't think it can handle even light touring weights due to its delicate structure, but has potential as a brevet bike. clears 38s, which is pretty sweet. some photos with different tyre compositions below.
