1986 Cannondale SM600

[onegoodbike]

Hello,

I got this nice 80's cannondale fairly recently, I gave it a bit of a clean, and put some road tyres on it with the idea of using it for my commute to work on sunny days. I've done this a couple of times now and have to admit to myself that I prefer road bikes for road cycling. So I was wondering if any of you MTB fanciers were in a similar situation, with a nice road bike sitting about doing nowt that you'd like to swap for this retro beauty?. Ideally it'd need to be a 56/57cm frame.

I'm not entirely sure how the logistics of this could work (unless you're in Suffolk as well) but thought i'd put it out there in case anyone had a hankering for one of these Cheers Matt

Re:

Is that a 20" Matt?

Re:

Hi, it has a seat tube measurement of 17" C-T and a top tube measurement of 22.5" C-C. If anyone would like a detailed spec or more photos let me know. Cheers Matt

Having done a bit of surfin' the net last night , I think these measurements make it what cannondale would call an 18" example.

Re:

Don't have anything to swap but would be interested in buying this, you would need to post it to me though, cheers John

Hi John, thanks for the offer, unfortunately I'm not short of offers to buy it, but it's an interesting swap that I'm after really though. Cheers Matt

Re:

Hi Matt, what kind of road bike are you looking for ? (Size, age...)

Best regards.

Re:

Hi Nicholas,

Size wise I suppose around a 22" frame would fit the bill, I've a preference for 80's/90's British steel bikes, but wouldn't mind giving a continental built, or older carbon bike a home as I've never owned one. I'm really just quite interested in seeing what turns up, i'd also consider a nice frameset if one were offered.

Regards Matt
