1993 cannondale repaint

[Rolf Hansen]

I think it looks great!

Would not have been my choice of colours (what do I know, my bike is black) but I imagine it would have been perfectly suited to the 90s.

You will not believe the difference decals will make. It will take it from looking like a repainted bike to a factory paint job. Take a vector of the Cannondale logo and ask a local signage place to cut you some silver or chrome decals. Will not cost much.

I like it. Well done! ????

Thanks man!

yeah some decals would probably look really good on it. 

Be brave and go full nineties retro with lumo yellow decals.

 

PS. Dreaming of a custom blue to white fade, with black paint drops, pink decals on the rear stays and lumo yellow on the main triangle.

I like the bike. I have two Cannondale frames which I am going to restore soon. I am probably going to powder coat them, then put decals and spray a clear coat over the decals. I also have the decals, bought them off Ebay some time ago. Pretty much want to make them look original.

A powder coat would be ideal I reckon ???? certainly more durable than paint, but alas, I'm on a student's budget

I've been told by some people and a quick google search that 54-58cm would fit, depending on the brand, but yeah I don't have any pain or tiredness in my neck/back/arms or anything like that when I ride this one 

There you go. By the way nice colour. You will definitely be seen on the road.

Well done, that's a great turnout for a first attempt at spray painting, you can be proud of yourself ????

Let me know if you need some vinyl decals for it, I can design and cut you a set and send up via postnet.

Got a local guy in Durban who does it, charges about R800 a bike. I have had two bikes done, it comes out perfect.

I am 179 cm and used to ride a 54 cm CAAD 7 so that frame is going to stretch you.
