Nice; I’m guessing the anodized dia compe brakes were the purple inspiration, a purple pivot bolt for that derailleur could go quite nicely
 
Love it! These bikes are fantastic and your high spec build is a beauty. Bet the 1-1/4" Control Tech stem was tough to find.
I've got a polished version myself which is not very stock lots of Syncros and higher end spec, etc, very light. My nephew asked me to keep an eye out for one similar and I really lucked out finding him a very stock version. I put many hours into it, recovered the stock saddle, full matching rattle can re-spray (masked the decals), repainted stem, polished seatpost, etc. I was in nice shape but needed some love. He needed it kept to a smaller budget. Those force 40 units were a bit tricky to setup the first time. Interesting to see the differences between the 91' and 93'
I believe its as 20" and we have the 18" (its quite the jump in size one size up). He's taller than me though so worked out well, check it out:

Really like this. Preferred it without the purple chainrings though as I think the silver blends better with the rims and headset etc, more subtle. But each to their own. I'm definitely loving Cannondale a just now. Might be time for another one myself I think.
