I do occasionally finish a build, this one was lightning fast as I'd been looking for a tiny killer V for my tiny mum for ages and one turned up on my door looking a bit sorry for itself on Saturday
Looks better in the pics than it did in the metal chip scrapes rust rips all the usual stuff, it certainly hadn't been abused just a well used 16 year old bike.
Anyway mums birthday on Monday saw it looking far shinier, I stripped the paint off polished it not a perfect job but looks good.
The spec list.
Frame: Cannondale Killer V 1995
Fork: Pace RC30
Wheels: Black Shimano Parallax hubs with black Easten rims
Tyres: White Halo twin rail
Headset: Diacompe aheadset
Seat post: original black canondale one
Stem: X-lite Fly
Handlebar: black ultimate toy risers cut down to fit the tiny mum
Saddle: Black leather selle italia gel flow
Grips: soft foam jobbies
Chainset: Mint LX cranks with a mint Raceface ring and a NOS Ging rock ring
Cassette: HG70
Chain: Can't think off the top of my head
Pedals: Alloy cage type
Shifter: 8 speed XT
Mech: XT M739
Brake levers: LX servo wave
Brakes: XT M739
Cables: White Jagwire L3
I think I'll swap the pedals out for some white V8's and the chainring is a 9 speed so that'll have to go but other than that I'm quite pleased with it wouldn't normally put V brakes on a bike with a canti bridge but I didn't have any decent canti brake levers and only had 48 hours to turn it around so
