How big is yours?

The cobwebs show a lack of use.

Mine's been collecting dust for over four years.

I love those early Cannondales. There’s a lady in the village, that has an M500, she brings it to me when she wants stuff done to it. Lovely bike.

Custom XXL sized frames have elongated tubes where possible but they usually lack girth.
Canondale tourers were unusual in offering girth proportional to length.

Aye reckon there's a few still knocking about. Tell her there's a green one in Chester and the best bike it's owner has had.

...and wonder if i could get some advice? Always wanted the original Sun Metal rear hoop back on, but with modern cassette. Not sure how to go about it though?

Some of us compensate.

I’m afraid I’m no help, I’m not sure I understand the question! 😬

I love them too- this is my current one.
It's a 1996 R300 2.8. 63cm frame, just about the best handling bike I've ridden.

The green and silver bike I owned a couple of years ago, it opened my eyes to Cannondales and how nice a bike they made.

This is my 1987 Repco Eurosport Tri A, made by Nishiki.
It's a 25 inch frame, quite a comfortable bike with just the right amount of flex in the Tange Infinity tubing.

Yeah?
I'll raise you with this one spotted in the wild on an Audax ride a while back

Pah! This one was spotted in Hebden Bridge....

Small rider, needed very upright position.

I reckon that could be a bit dodgy if braking hard suddenly... There would be a lot of bending force acting on that extended steerer tube!

Iv'e only got a little one.
