Just collected the frame from Tom and it's a lovely thing, light and clean and dent free. However the paintwork is not great, poorly touched up, and tired, after all it is 24 years old. The fork is also not original and plain ALU - with some mild corrosion meaning that it needs at the very least to be stripped polished and clearcoated. So...I think I'm going to go for a respray and new decal set from vintagecannondale.com after all. Question now is what colour... so, to the floor:
original options are:
Red / white decals
Blue / white decals
Black / gold
Or should I look at something more interesting / contemporary? Basically I have all the colours at Armourtex's disposal to play with - but only have black / white / gold decals ...
