What colour are you thinking?

Do you know about the A113's (plastic cable guides)?

Nice score! I remember this one, was a good price if I remember correctly?

Indeed, it was about 115£ for the bike and the total with delivery from Florida was about 265£.

Here is what I've done this weekend:

All the parts have been immersed in the rust remover liquid.
Here is how it looks before...

And also the frame/handlebar/stem/fork are ready for painting.

And now, the rollercams are clean and without rust...

He is not totally finished yet... but on his way
The frame, fork, stem, handlebar have been painted and have new decals (http://www.vintagecannondale.com) .
The tyres are from 88 and the rear mech and shifters are NOS Suntour Alpha 3000. The saddle is a NOS Turbo.
