2003 CAAD5, 52cm built with Ultegra, Velocity Deep Vee Wheels, Ritchey bar/stem/post and Conti force/attach tires.
This has been converted to become a Fast Five Speed. Lots of true vintage parts were used for the build as well as parts with class. However an older Dura Ace BB and crankset give in to the modern era.
This is a work in progress... starting with this stunning flamed CAAD 5. I do not know the exact model or year of manufacture. Mo lata.
Bought in Florida in 1990 off a triathlete and it came home with me to the UK. It was 21 last July and had a bit of a overhaul Birthday present. Did 125 miles in a day in 2008 from Birmingham to Aberdovey, Wales and a couple of Charity Rides more recently. When off road is required, I've got a Bad Boy, but a Slice is on the horizon for future road rides. I'll always keep my first Cannondale though with the train station logo and Daytona Beach bike shop badge !
This was my first real racing bike. A 1988 Criterium that came with a suntour/sugino mix. It was affordable for a 14 year old kid that mowed lawns. I eventually replaced all the components with a Suntour Sprint (like Shimano 600, Ultegra today). I raced it my first 2 years as a junior in 1988/1989. The original color was white but I worked in a bike shop and one of the mechanics resprayed it after my first season to the navy blue pic'd here. My first race on this bike was in April of...
Here is the 3.0 crit bike I raced back in my junior days. The team was Guys Bikes in Feasterville, PA. It is a 53cm built with mostly Dura Ace. This pic was taken in the summer of 1992 just before heading out to the junior national championships in Bloomington Indiana.
