Hello

I have completed my Cannondale recently this month, I owned this bike since from new since 1999 in the sale from my LBS, after putting new colour on frame and forks and some new parts, it have a mixture of retro and modern parts on the bike, I am pretty happy with it so far but not sure with the silver decals and wished I went for black ones, maybe changed the saddle and put on bigger tyres later on? Hope to hear some comments of what you think of it.

need fatter tyre's defo....i would fit some irc's (were they called mountain rockets?) as they always seem to go with dale's really well.
 
I have the same tire's lying around in my shed. Terrible cornering and they need a lot of pressure which has the negative result of no comfort. I would recommend you a 1.8 tire rear like Nobby Nic, this will provide you more stability and comfort. Up front you could use the 2.1 version.
