Black Lightning was Cannondales 25th anniversary special. Paintjob, only 300 and a collaboration with Campag, special Record grouppo, all black with gold writing, when Campag were only polished. Neutron wheels again with special Black Lightning decals etc, special cables (gold and Kevlar from memory) etc. It’s super rare. I’ve only ever seen one other in the flesh and I’ve been looking for 20 years for one. This is just super special. The guy even bought 2 spare matching tyres and tubes when new so he never needed to change anything. He rode it twice and put it in a wardrobe for 20 years.
I’ve ridden it now and I am blown away. I think I’ll ride it like I stole it !!!!

I am quietly smitten by this thing. 22 years old and it’s been ridden three times, once by me. It was still on the original tyres. It is a brand new bike. I’m trying to work out what to do because the thing is museum quality, to ride it seems sacrilegious it’s so perfect. Not a mark on it. Not one. The groupset is brand new, it shifts like no Campag Record I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot) the cables are unstretched and the thing rides better than pretty much any bike I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned hundreds. I could sell it to some rich twonk who’d give me loads of dollah or I could just ride the thing and love every minute of it.
