Hi everyone. So I have been buying, Restoring and selling on the US built caad 3’s for a little while now. eBay mostly, But since recently joining this forum I thought it might be a suitable place to post them in the hopes that they would go to a home where they be appreciated maybe a tad more...

Ok so. Looks like we’re going for powder blue, or as close to it as the paint company has. Exchanging the silver today which was nice of them. Will be sure to keep you all posted on the progress. Thank you all for your insights. Very helpful.

I’m quite liking the blue actually. It has more of a vintage feel to it which suits the year I suppose. Probably better than silver.

This is the only set I could get which were anything closer to what it came with. Obviously I won’t be using the R500 one. But I couldn’t get R800 decals.

Cool man. Interesting. Blue seems to be the winning colour so far. Weather isnt great here so I still have probably a couple or few weeks before getting to paint. .

Ah. Amazing. Thank you for the effort. The red is the immediate winner lol. But it’s to common. That light blue looks pretty good actually. As does the green in the top. Then again, I’m now leaning back towards the silver ‍♂️. Ai ai ai. I guess it would be easy if it were for myself I’d just go...

Powder blue eh. That could look pretty cool. I wonder if it might be to personal though. Ideally I’m putting this together to sell so I’d like to find a kinda colour that hits the majority of us. . I did consider raw aluminum but after the sand blasting the bare frame isn’t exactly perfect...

I’m sure it’ll look great no matter which way we go. Thnx for all your ideas. I’ll be sure to post pics as it gets there.

Oh this is very cool. Some really nice colours there. The greens is nice. If I had silver decals that would have been the No 1 choice for sure. Just not sure it would go well with the black note though.

Agree with the yellow. I think yellow, red or orange are the best colours for the years. However I do have a yellow R700 that I’ve just put together so want something different for this one. Good call though.

Interesting. Ok thnx for that idea. I’ll keep that in mind. The original was actually a flat blue. I was going with the same blue but could only get black decals. So it didn’t work.

This is the Orange one. I’ll be keeping this one full original with complete Ultegra G/S. Just haven’t got the space to build another one up yet.

I couldn’t agree more. But I also have an orange R1000 waiting to be built lol. Sorry yes I should have said. I’ll be using Campy mirage group set that came off a cinelli. So parts are in Silver. Sorry about the orange. I’d have said I had one but didn’t think to do so.

Hey guys and girls. Looking for some of ya’ll opinions on a solid colour for this R800 frame that I recently stripped. Ultimately I’ll be selling this bike if it turns out as expected so thought it would be cool to see what you all prefer. I’ve actually got the decals in black. And already...

Thnx. I feel much better selling a bike that’s as good as it can get. Quite a few hours. But certainly worth the effort.

Hi. Yes of course silly me. I should have included that. This one is from Jan 1998. And you could be correct that its a European model, ive seen other mentioning this before.

New member here so thought I’d share the latest build of the R700 just completed. When I picked this up it was looking rather sorry for itself, not to mention embarrassed by the steam it was flaunting. The frame was in pretty good shape but the components were somewhat in need of some tlc. So...

Hi Buddy. That’s great information thank you for the help. And yes that makes a lot of sense in terms of year as the forks I do have that came with it are 1-1/8th. I’ll attach a pic of them. Unfortunately for me in my hast to get to my next destination I didnt have quite as good a look over it...

Hello everyone. This is my first post here so apologies for the request for help already. Just picked up a caad4 R800 frame set that I’ll be hoping to do a custom paint job on when the weather allows. I’m having trouble dating this one though as the head tube sticker suggests 2000-2007 but the...
