Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Nice one thanks!

or the hipster thing ?

Can't remember if I've posted this, my camping bike. Loaded up for midwinter overnighter. 1993 M700 I think. It's a great bike.

Well I do think that's nice but also boring?

I have been heavily in love with any of the stinner / mudfoot bikes.... Mainly the deep orange:

This

totally agree i was being sarcastic. that orange is nice and pops

that stem awaits if you go yellow ?

Why cantilever and v brakes? There must be a reason since it’s a posh build.

To reduce brake judder on the front I would suggest.

Cool stem but I'm bored of hi viz yellow that's on the transition atm...

I do think orange or an earthy tone, but not camp green.

Last summer I bought really racing-y Belgian carbon cross bike for next to nothing, considering it was barely ridden, came with Ultegra and was, well, full carbon. It came with cantis.
I rode it and on the my first proper downhill (as in going down the road, not trying to break my neck in the woods somewhere) I immediately realized why it was sold for next to nothing.
Three months later I sold it for next to nothing and bought absolutely run of the mill alu Giant with proper brakes.

Cantis are death tbf...

Ill be running trp mini vs for sure

Very cool bike, how long have you had it?

Bb30 frame...

Bb30 bearings and push fit adaptors or threaded adapter insert?

Threaded bbs in bb30 are better obviously as less cause for creak, but they are not foolprrof in an alloy shell, unfortunately.

You say not foolproof, how so?

Would a load of locktite or bonding help secure the insert better?

Yes you have to use that trick as well

Ahh nay bother really.

I know a guy who can weld aluminium, I've even though about pressing it in, welding the seem between bb shell and press fit and then sanding the weld flush.... But that's a serious modification

Yeah don't do that. If you have to do that to make it work, the shell is fucked.

It's brand new so doesn't need this kind of work... Just a thought.

As I have bb30 bearings and cranks I'm just going to use that, for the time being.

There are also these cheap fsa sleeves to press and loctite in to use a standard bsa.

Back on the Super6 road for the first time since Covid. 700x26 is narrow!

Built for rainy hillclimbs?

Nice 1x. Did you use cup bb30 adpaters for the ultegra cranks ?

Just shitty New England weather.

It actually had English threads. I was given two of these frames, I’m not sure which ones they are exactly, and I think they’re 2014? but I’m not even entirely sure about that.

Many years after coming up with the initial idea, my MGOOF Saeco is eventually taking shape
