as suggested in another post http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=78457 I should make a list.....so last in, first out with the least sentimental value is my '91 Cannondale EST.
it's ok....paint is obviously not original, superficially ok but tbh it needs a respray....I've scraped a few bits off around the seatclamp area to investigate possible cracks but it looks ok underneath.
It rides and handles quite nicely, the shock is good and the pivot is sorted (no play)......my plan if it doesn't sell is to get it painted and turn it into an around town burner :twisted: .....big gears, rigid stem, better brakes and semi-slick tyres as this is what I think it's best suited to.........take it from me, granny grinding up big climbs is not this bike's strong point
anyhow, £100 for the frameset (frame, forks. new headset, seatpost and a couple of Flexstems with cracks and the Force40 bits)....and it's yours to have a laugh with.
for £150 I'll throw in the brakes, Ritchey Logic crankset and BB, front and rear m735 mechs and the cableset to get you started.
Postage included.
