Sure' date=' but what size is your seatpost? 27.2 isnt it? Mine is now 31.6! Cause its a real pain is the a$$ to take it off that seatpost and then refit it!  Dont worry, we will make a plan...

maybe get 2 of the same bottle cages?

[AndreZA]

So Zaskar, when are you getting a 'dale for the dirt?

 

 

UPDATE: Okay Zaskar, there is a F600 for sale. Have it sanded down and repainted like your road bike.

You know how hard it was to find a second cage to match the first? i bought one in 2006, and was only able to find another early this year.

 

An besides they are the same, except for the small carbon arms that hold the bottle around the middle (and the 6 odd grams difference in weight!).

 

The bottle cage on the seat tube doesnt need them, as the bottle is held upright and stays in place due to gravity. But on the down tube the bottle tends to vibrates out of the cage (dont ask me how, but believe me i have lost enough bottles racing in the bunches to know that it is pretty dangerous), and those extra carbon 'arms' hold the bottle securley in place.

 

So thats my reasoning for that

[mr-orange]

wow, nice bike

 

those cranks are sweet.  it looks better on the bike than the record cranks would.

 

[Zaskar]

Para, when i find this bike for sale at a good price ill consider it...

 

 

The 2002 F3000SL! I dont know why, but its still my all time favourte looking Cannondale hardtail MTB!

Verry, verry nice Zaskar. The only sugestion i have is to put the faceplate of the stem the right side up. Otherwise she rocks and looks sooo schweeet!!

Joss i wish i could!!

Ive been trying to get a 100mm EA90 road stem for months! Finally i just settled with going for the MTB version, as its exactly the same except for the face plate. Its not one that you can just switch round, as the mounts at the top and botrom are different. Ive contacted Omnico, and was told me that they only bring in the 100mm in that version! So its just something i have to live with.

 

(Unless you know a way to get a road version, or have one to swap me?? )

[Delgado]

 

What you guys think? Anything else I could change?

 

 

Very nice mate!!!

 

Maybe you could change the frame for the stunning one you purchased a few weeks back??

Watch this space, im still working on that one! Where do you think all the old Chorus bits are going...

[dylankeyter]

Very very nice, they have an almost identical bike at Olympic Cycles for about 50k, with Shamal's though. Awesome setup Zaskar!
