Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

A friend of mine wanted road-ish bike, but also kinda commuter, so I found cannondale t1000 and built this bike around it. I would make it more neo-retro, but buddy was tight on budget so It came up almost period correct with 1056 groupset.

That looks gorgeous

Could either be a legit Palace collab or an AliExpress knock off.

Edit: It is real. I just don't know why.

Stripping the frame was actually a massive chore

Totally worth it though, excellent work.

Palasonic, lol

i hope some there is an ali express fake of that saddle, i want it

Aha, let me know if you want to shift it at some point in the future.

You found an XL then?

Yeah. Not as well spec’d but I’m happy. It’s in really good condition, think it’s barely been ridden. Already removed the spoke guard disc thing.
Need pedals, probably change the saddle, the bars and seatpost.

But was it £1800..? 😉

Always enjoyed these. Joining the line after Dammit for this!

Rx4s required.

I’d be interested in what frame size you think XL works out as, when you’ve had some time with it.

Need some pedals first!
But sure. Can always come take a look if you like.

I’ll swap ya

new project...

Lots of potential. Like that paint job.

the idea is to build it with full sram red, 3t stem and 3t ergonova team handlebars.

I'm looking at buying what I think is a 2001 Caad 7 saeco.

But I need help with the sizing. Seller isn't sure if its 56cm or 58cm. I've asked him to check bb area for any stamp that might say.
Is it possible they came in a 57cm size?

Can anyone link me to a geo chart for the 2001 caad 7? Or is there anything that would identify it as a 58? Head tube length etc

Looks 56

soz I'm maybe confusing things by posting a stolen pic that isnt of the actual bike I want

I'll delete and get photo of the one I'm wanting to buy

ok photo of the actual bike up now. But now you say it, it does kinda look 56. Head tube looks a bit short for a 58 maybe

Both options great, this will be good.

Also enjoying your floor / wall combo here.
