Cannondale BOE Ashton project

[kieran9990]

Hi all.

Hope you don’t mind me posting about my new project . I managed to find a 16” cannondale Beast of the east frame to make my own Martyn Ashton replica . The man who at the time inspired me to get into bikes and trials in particular

It’s a long whole slog parts wise but so far I’m doing fairly well but have a long way to go.

I’ve managed to source

Maguras and boosters
Bars
Grips
Shifters
Decals
Chain ring and guard
Wheels
1 hub
Seat
Rear mech
Cassette
Chain
Tubes
Pedals

Outstanding

Yellow fsa headset
Coda magic cranks and BB
Stem
Front red hope fatso
Irc kujo / el gato 2.25 pair of.
Seatpost
Old style red hope skewers

Thanks for looking . I’ll be glad when we can leave the house and I can get this off to the blasters ready for paint prep.

Looking forward to your updates, I'm in the same situation, wanting to get bits bead blasted etc but no chance at the moment while we're in lockdown.

It does give us plenty of time to browse online for part though..... LOL, i'm spending way too much.......LOL

I know too much time though that’s the trouble .

I’ll get some parts updates up soon. Unfortunately stripping the frame and painting is on then back burner until we can venture out

And please leave it yellow, it is less recognizable but original in color and much rarer
