Showcase
I bought this as a bare ST frame and it sat in my shop for a long time while I figured out how to bring it back to life. It got the full powdercoat treatment in Bright Blue, with decals by Vintage Cannondale (YEAH!). Now it rocks a Technomic stem, Sugino crankset, Ultegra FD & RD & Tektro brakes with DiaCompe levers. Gotta love that yellow saddle and bar wrap! This one went to a tall woman (it's a 58cm) who's going to take it on a series of tours this summer.
I built this for a customer over the winter. It's an original SR800 but was in poor condition. Stripped it down to the bare frame and had it powder coated in Asian Red with an Ink Black fork, then added decals from Vintage Cannondale (YEAH!). It's got full Shimano 600 components except for the levers, which are later. The 7 speed HyperDrive shifts very nicely.
This was originally a trashed white 1987 ST400 when I bought it last year. Stripped it down to the bare frame and had it powder coated in Lemon Yellow, then added decals from Vintage Cannondale (YEAH!). Now it rocks Ultegra derailleurs and a Brooks saddle and bar wrap. Since this picture was taken, it's been stripped down again for a full upgrade to 9 speeds & 700c, with Alex rims, SRAM cassette, Dura-Ace DT shifters, Michelin tires & Rivendell Silver brakes.
The original one is only a frame.

I raced on Cannondales (F800 then F700) when I was between 12 and 18. Stopped in 2005 for studies, I bought that F5000sl in August 2009. A dream bike now in my garage. I rode it almost daily, doing 300 km per week with it. The good days coming back, I took it for a ride 2 years ago, to go over the 2000km on the odo, but the frame cracked.
Repaired and in use again for the past couple of years. Some components have been upgraded (XTR transmission, new tires and so on) but next year I will...
