Found in the Yorkshire hills ...

- Dewsbury, West Yorkshire
I picked up this bike today, having seen it advertised by a seller who admitted they weren't sure what it was (very honest about the reasons and the issues left by whoever owned the bike and left it along with many other items).
What it isn't is a 49cm frame, instead it's a 56cm. It's a Cannondale Ironman 800 25th anniversary model from 2004, with 700c wheels not the 650c I thought it had/was advertised with. There's a 105/Ultegra/Truvativ mixed 9-speed groupset with Cannondale brakes plus used Gipiemme Tecno 716 wheels. Oh, and an almost new pair of 105 5700 pedals. Brakes are set European style.
In dusty and dry condition it all works, despite apparently being stored for a long time. Dust has been removed for the photo!
Needs arm pads plus one gear lever rubber and the saddle plus chain have seen better days.
Plans? Not a clue - either chain/cables/pads/saddle and move it on or it'll be parts. At 56cm it's too big for me.
