My one and half build project.
Frame was built in 1999 (i believe) and never was mounted. Full campagnolo record 10 speed groupset except brakes which are cannondale C1 carbon with rolf sestriere wheelset. It had a giant mike burrows wheelset but too heavy. Like it is (2 photo) 7950 grams but still heavy. Seat post will loose some grams (home tunning yokes), new saddle on the way and cinelli integralter will go out. Fork was short so i had to make an internal adaptor to stretch 35 mm the fork.

Hope you like it.

Looks nice in yellow. I haven't got round to weighing mine yet but sub 8kg is pretty good.

Thanks!

I was thinking change wheels for a set of campagnolo Zonda but they are a litle heavier than this rolf. On other side they look great!

In the end the zond wheels came and rolf went away. Stays in same weight.

Not it just miss a campy record modern crankset.

Still like it is now it rides perfectly

For my budget it is super light. I will start now a recovery of a dh bike so all funds are direct to there :)

there is some link for that motobecane?

Wow, that is beautiful, love the Time carbon fork, mine came with a lousy steel fork. Any chance of a photo from the front, has it the older style Cannondale badge?

Thanks!

This frame came without fork and I had to find some. Not very easy to find and this Time was 3 cm shorter so I had to make an extra part from aluminium.

Still I'm looking for a new fork that can be lighter than that time (456g) but I cannot find any....

I'll pass in garage, take a photo and than I will post here.

Yes, Saeco had frames like these built up with Shimano in 1997. The seatstays are not curved like the later CAAD 4s. Mario Cipollini preferred the CAAD 3s for sprinting - more rigid. I think he kept using them even when the team had moved to CAAD 4. They are a lively bike. Looks great with the Campagnolo parts. Could it be earlier than 1999? I think the 1997 Giro was won on a Cannondale CAAD 3 - Ivan Gotti I think.

Regards,

Pat
