Re: 1999 Cannondale Volvo CAAD 3 Martyn Ashton Good story and a cool bike. Interested to see how the build goes.

Nearly a]early a year ago I posted asking about a red line frame I was planning on building after I finished the ac. Things always take longer than expected. The ac is rolling took it out on the weekend finally.Needs a few tweaks But good times I seem to have gotten quite unfit in the last...

Re: I'm also suspecting its a rebrand of some sort. Wont be buying it any parts for a little while. Need to finish a giant ac air first. But somtimes things pop up.

Re: No idea's? I've bought the thing picking it up next week. Been trying to find a pic of one on the web but no joy so far. Finding correct size fork is my main thought for now.

Hi this frame came up for sale locally, does anyone know anything about them? shock it 185mm i2i and its v brake only. I was thinking it could be good project

Put this together from cast off bits lying around the shed just need to get some single ring bolts so I can loose the bash gaurd.

So some progress. Picked up a fox float for peanuts no propedal or lockout but it was 10bucks so can't complain , some wc sids and swaped on some bits from under the house almost finished just need a top cap and expanding nut for the steerer tidy up the cables and sort somthing better to hold...

less movement of the tire on the rim maybe helping nice bike too
