CANNONDALE ST400 1987

OSMojo · May 16, 2013

There it was abandoned on Ebay, I had an SR500 BITD so this was my chance. Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking. It weighs 10.1kgs. Try playing Frank Stallone's "Save me darling I am down but I am Far from over" in the background whilst you check the before and afters.

Hmm, not sure on that....

I presume the frame is a touring frame? Is that a brake bridge on the seatstays? I'd have to fit some centre pulls to make use of that. I'd replace the wheels with some chunky clinchers and fit some mudguards. Probably replace the tape and saddle with black.....ha each to their own

I like the mtb though and kudos to you for putting it back on the road.

It can be used for touring (as it was previously set up) it's what was known as a sports bike. Here's how Cannondale saw it.

Very nice!

I restored a white 1987 ST400 in size XS a while ago:

It was really tiny, with 27" wheels. More photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjvv8h84
