Ok, i have eventually got my finger out and posted a picture of my stinky old Cannondale.
I picked it up after having seen it in a local cash generator shop window. some poor student had pawned it for smack or something :lol:
Anyway, i wanted one of these so bad when they came out, but was starting to fall out of love with the whole cycling thing at the time , and i sold up.
I have old spent a little time cleaning and servicing it, new tyres and saddle & grips. I got the forks from Maxtherotti on here.
please keep your critisism constructive :wink: as im a fragile wee soul 8)

Serial no for date of manufacture is JE

:lol:

I think Scant is closer to the mark.

We need to keep readers bikes for retrobikes (kind of the point). If you can't prove its 93 then it'll get moved.

Think you might have your JE as a EJ? decals and paint are definitely later than 93, though you could get a super V in 93
