    C'dale 2.8 R700 - 2 versions in 1992 ???

    Been to LBS yesterday. It's always really interesting, the owner used to race on various German teams in the 80's and loves to share stories from back in the day:-) Asked him about the SACHS parts and he remembered being on a team being equipped with HERCULES bikes (traditional German brand)...

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I just looked up the "New Success" series on Google and they sure do look great! Will check them on eBay Germany and other platforms over the next couple of days. Cool! Thanks again!

    C'dale 2.8 R700 - 2 versions in 1992 ???

    The plan is to keep it quite clean / simple actually. Thinking of Dura Ace or Ultegra, depending of what I can find (and afford) online. It's really just a project to keep me occupied in the dark months so I do not want to spend a ton of money... I will probably start with the wheelset/hubs...

    C'dale 2.8 R700 - 2 versions in 1992 ???

    Hi guys, Can anybody please help identify the latest addition to my stable... Got the bike from the original owner but he wasn't sure about the year of purchase. Catalogues point to 1992 - BUT - in 1992 the 2.8 frame in THIS specific color was only available as a triathlon version... Owner said...
