This popped up on Gumtree earlier in the week. The asking price was high, but the seller was open to offers so, after a few messages had been exchanged I made one ... and he accepted.
Turns out the seller was a Cannondale dealer and the bike had been hanging on the wall of the shop for quite a few years.
I collected it today and it's in very good condition. Tyres, saddle, and qr levers aside it's catalogue spec. I have a pair of amberwall IRC tyres I'll put on it (or maybe a pair of green Wildgrippers?) and I might replace the Flite with a Turbo saddle.
The rear coil spring looks a little untidy - I'll look into getting it powdercoated, or replaced with another if I can find one (the seller tells me Cannondale still have these in stock). Anyone know where these can be found?
