Very clean build. I really like it.

What's the graphic on the downtube? Can you post a close up?

 

[stew-b]

its in the 88 catalogue as 'hot custom graphics'.gil fancied having ago at copying them,i think he did well there should actually be a couple of smaller ones at the top of the seatstays too.

Gil certainly done a great job there. Thanks for posting - I'm no expert on 'dales!

That is a very nice build, well done. How does it ride?

 

[pendle]

That looks nice, dales never seemed to work for me but that looks nice, how does it ride.

 

[stew-b]

it rides lovely,saddle needs breaking in though lol!

 

[Thorpie]

Looks good, black and gold, nice, will have a bit more gold and a splattering of black to show off soon myself! I bet it is harder to get tyres off those rims than on, you nearly didn't get them as I felt like throwing them over the fence

Top drawer work fella bosses look good to me.

I think this is one of the better buil;ds I've seen.

Lovely.

It seems strange that there isn't more Cannodale love about for those older ones. They always seemed so special at the time. Maybe not Klein special, but definately a bit rarer and more sought after than our Marins and Spesh's at the time.

Very nice build.
