1999 Cannondale CAAD 3 Martyn Ashton Team Volvo

the most beautiful c'dale that i've ever seen!!!
amazing!!!

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

This is my first venture over to the "other side" (post 97 ) so I'm not really used to seeing much of this newfangled tech, but man, this bike is epic. What a story, and what a journey it's been on, literally!

I love this bike, and you are a very good photographer too.

That looks ace. Got yo say that I prefer it in its new build.

Cheers folks, glad you like it. It's a ton of fun to ride!
