When my nephew visited last summer he rode my '93 R600 2.8.
In the early to mid '90s he and my niece raced for the Univ. GA cycling team. They are fun to ride with even though I can't keep up with them, but they humor Ol' Uncle Bob and let me beat them on the decents (mass has a big advantage going down hills)!
Anyway, this summer I entered the nephew as a rider for a team in the local sprint triathlon. He was thrilled with the R600 and described it as
"a rocket!" In fact he had the best bike time for the race (over a 1000 participated). He had not raced in more than a decade. When he left to go home to TN, he said;
"Uncle Bob, never, ever, EVER sell that Cannondale!" Who can argue with a nephew like that?
