Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

these forks (carbon/titanium) weigh just 350 grams, soon I'm going to put a cinelli grammo quill stem and compact carbon dropbars

I thought they were steel! Fair enough!

On a personal level, I don't think a quill stem sits right with the rest of the set-up, but that's just me.

A lot still needs to change but at least it's finally rolling!

^ Great frame, CAD3?

If you have to go colour tyres, how about gum or white? Too much blue imo.

EDIT: just seen it's an '88 frame.

They're probably gonna be a short-lived tyre, but I do enjoy the extreme coordination at the moment. Gumwalls in its future no doubt.

p.s. love the silver bar tape.

Finally built up my CAAD9, sourced from here, thanks robadob

thanks to MDCC_tester for the top cap

Looks great. Silly, silly Robadob should have kept it.

Weighs about 7.5kg (bathroom scales method) with an MTB seatpost and a 105 crank...

Yeah, my CAAD8 is about the same with 2KG wheels... Would be interested to see how light it would be if I actually tried to make it light. Slippery slope weighing stuff...

I know.... bit stupid having a Toupe with carbon rails stick on top of a bog standard Race Face post though ;)

Looks great. 60/63cm? How long is the 3T stem?

Amassing parts for the re-build of my CAAD10 now. Fizik Aliante carbon with FSA K-force carbon I think (second hand and imported to keep costs down). Hopefully won't break either. Something like this:

Thanks - it's a 60cm frame and the stem is 120mm

Nice. Same here at 6ft4, with the 60cm frame and 120mm 3T Arx. Going to try a 25mm setback post. Maybe a 130 stem down the line.

I'm 6ft1 and it's perfect - not surprised you need a layback post.

One bike to rule them all

Well, that is a very confused bike.

With what looks like a headtube repair?

Also looks as though the 'guards are touching the majority of the tyres. Sheesh.

I can't really process that image. It's late and I'm tired.

well ? .......... you've had all night to think about it

Also looks as though the 'guards are touching the majority of the tyres. Sheesh.

mudguard expert that you are

I don't need to be an expert to see a tyre touching a mudguard.

My mudguards look that tight but the dont touch, you can't tell from a photo

might not be touching, but defo looks like a little rub rub might be on the cards.
