Hi There - my baby is called Sinead - a modified Cannnondale bad boy ultra 2002 model. I changed a lot out - new long carbon fork, new brakes Shimano M7000, 11-46 Shimano gearing with 42T Sram Apex crank , a big 203mm front brake rotor to give some more stopping power, a comfy saddle Brookes B17 and some sturdy tyres 35mm plus the topeak panniers. All this to make a comfortable ride from cape town to Windhoek which I did in Sept 2019. Not 1 puncture and only 1 broken spoke for the entire 1600 km! Very impressed especially with the stock std mavic cxp 21 rims and the load they had to carry. She is resting now but I am planning more touring in the not too distant future.A big shout out to "Cycle logic "bike shop in Hillcrest KZN esp Andrew who gave me a lot of advice and made sure my bike was in top shape for the journey. Keep pedalling !
