Cannondale C200

Don’t usually do build threads, but very excited to grab this Cannondale c200 on marketplace yesterday. Frame itself looks in pretty good shape, and will keep the wheels

Think I’ll go all black parts for now, though reckon it might look good with silver finishing kit at some point

Got a VO 31.8 stem and some on one Mary’s to go on it. 700x40 and some nice mudguards I reckon. No shifter attached to the nexus 7 hub so will need to work out if that’s working and service probably. Never built one before so some stuff to learn!

Looks like nexus 7 trigger shifters are quite hard to find, ordered one of these Microshift ones which I hope works out OK

had one of these and it was great, super long though.

shifterwise i went drop bar with a jtek bar end, worked a treat

Yeah I think this one is something like 60 squared. Did consider those bar end shifters, would definitely use that if I was running drops but it will be a flat bar build

Frame stripped and looking in OK condition, nothing seized which is a good start. Headset cups being pretty stubborn with my usual hammer and screwdriver method, so might have to borrow extractor tool or pop to LBS to get removed

Hub seems in Ok condition, spare cassette joint ordered from SJS

Finally got cups off and headset on. The 50t chainring I had lying around is a bit too close on chainstays, so will prob downsize for something that matches the gearing better soon

And some pretty bodged efforts at trying to work out the nexus hub… disassembled OK initially, but then dislodged the internal shifter springs and only got one back in place so far… Keeping my fingers crossed I can manage the other one! 🤞🏼

Rolling chassis is up, and pelago fenders fitted. Will need some good mudflaps I reckon, might pick up some pdw ones from condor. Went for marathon plus in the end because cba removing the drum brake and shift cable every time I take the rear wheel off for a puncture!

Think I’ve managed to oil and reassemble the hub OK… I was waiting on a replacement left bearing cone from US eBay, watched my fedex updates for two weeks, and when it finally arrived turns out it wasn’t a left bearing cone in my parcel… but a (quite interesting looking) book on systems mathematics… a shipping label mix up somewhere I guess. So something to read while I wait for the seller to resend the right item!
