I bought this bike recently from a police auction. Having got it home and checked it over, there was too much wrong with it to use as a project, so I'm splitting it. First up, frame: SOLD
17.5" c to c seat tube, 22" top tube Franck Roman signature model USA made Cannondale, I believe dating from around 1995? Frame's straight and has but one small dent (see pics below) but paint is in poor condition, flaking off all over. No cracks visible. Frame weight 4.1lbs, would make a lovely hack frame. Looking for £40 posted. More pics:
dent:
the worst of the paint:
model:
Next, shifters- SOLD
STX 7 speed with some pitting on the levers, but good working order. £5 posted:
Other stuff I took off which is too good to bin perhaps! All karma- just give me the actual postage cost:
chainset GONE
cranks don't match, steel rings, needs a clean. Threads and tapers ok:
Acera-X mech GONE
seems sound but not tested:
old bar ends GONE
scratched, one end cap missing:
happy to answer any questions

31-10-10: more bits added:
Kalloy 27.0 diameter long seatpost: this came on the Cdale frame, and was badly oxidised. I've given it a quick polish with Autosol and it's come up pretty well, but if you're looking for a showroom condition item this isn't it. It will however buff up better than it shows with a bit more time. £5 posted:
Set of Tektro cantis with straddle cables and bolts. Black anodised, but scratched, maybe good for a hack bike or for renovation? Karma- just pay me the postage:
Finally a set of wheels- Shimano silver alloy hubs (some numbers but no model name) on Weinmann silver alloy rims and rustless spokes. Fair condition- rear could do with some tweaking, it will never be perfectly true but it's only a couple of mill out max. No pics yet- they're dirty and I can't be bothered to clean them. They come with a 7 speed cassette, rim tape and q/rs which are quite rusty. £10 posted?
