Hey,
I've just bought a 1991 Cannondale SM700 (black with green splattered paint).
The paint isn't in great condition!
Would the frame be fine to sandblast to get the old paint off?
Is there anywhere i could get the originla paint work re-done?
Thanks
 
i wouldnt say sandblast , media blast is a better term as there is a range of different blast " medias " available so its not as harsh as sand

id be surprised if there isnt a suitable blaster in your area

make sure there is no trace of grease/lube or anything sticky . it can clog the equipment and the guy will shout at you :LOL:

make sure he thoroughly blows through all the tubes with an airline after
 
Thats brilliant, thanks very much for the info!
Any idea where i could get original decals for it?
Cannondale is on the down tube and SM700 just before the seat tube, both in bright green...
 
Try Gil_m on here for decals and have a look about the vinatge cannondale website. I beleive theres also a decal source. Oh and get some pics up :D
 
I used Hendersons in piershill in edinburgh bud, look them up, they did my 'dale for me about 15 years ago .
