Thanks!

I never got around to finishing this project through last year. Too much ccycling. Getting now back to it. Next step is to paint the frame. Meanwhile the headset: I measured the inner diameter of the headstone 30mm plus a tiny fraction that I cannot really read on my gauge. The inserts of the...

Thank you. I was also pleasantly surprised, since I was using only a few lightweight parts, but nothing to the extreme. You could shave off 0.3 or so with a dedicated lightweight wheel set. But it’s a road bike! No way to reach that with a Mountainbike (M…).

Thank you! I like the idea of using red decals. The old Ultra fork actually has that fading from the top because only the blades are carbon.

I have made progress, we sanded down the frame and it is ready for paint. We filled up the scratches with epoxy to avoid taking off any aluminum. Seems like I sadly lost the screw-on cableguide underneath the bottom bracket. On the web I find a part with the number KF002 from numerous sources...

Haha! No!

Thank you. Big improvement on ride quality!

Completed this project. Here is the result, weight is 7.3 kg.

It is definitely a screw. I took it off but nothing happened. I thought it might hold the cable stop in place. Re guides: OK might be difficult to get them out of the frame, need to check if there are holes in the head or seat tube. I already bought a set of new ones from this website.

Thank you! I am quite happy.

So the Cannondale Six fork became a Coda fork. The carbon weave pattern shines nicely through.

Yes. Makes me a bit concerned whether it is worthwhile to put energy into this. two questions opposite of the cable stop on the right rear chain stay is a small screw. What is the function of this screw? How do you non-destructively remove the black cable guides on the top tube. There are...

Makes sense. I was only going to smooth the roughest and generously use filler because I did not want to take off too much material. But is there a concern re structural stability?

Hmm what involves in your view smoothing them out?

I would definitely convert to a 1x system. I noted that the frame has a 130 mm rear dropout, a 68 mm BSA and a stack value very similar to my road bike. Only the frame has a vastly larger reach which however can be aligned with a proper stem. So, essentially, this frame has a lot common with a...

So I started some research about what to do with my old SM400 from 1990. I posted before here: http://community.vintagecannondale.com/threads/hi-from-europe.664/ I am considering to turn this into a "Gravel Bastard", see this picture. What do you think how this set up would ride? It fits me...

Absolutely. I am confident to shed some weight. Installed a DUB crank and then made some progress building this up with a SRAM Force 22 and some RED parts. The Cannondale Six fork has barely room for a 25 mm tire:

The work has begun! Bare frame is actually 1.2 kg in Size 52.

A Google search tells me that for biomechanical and aero reasons the Q factor should be as low as possible, ideally even less than 145 so I am not surprised that despite the advent of disc brakes and 12sp it has not increased. In fact I am using the same crank system (SRAM DUB) on other bikes...
