The frame dates from about 1981. It is Reynolds 531 throughout (except for the aluminum Kinesis fork), and with the lightweight wheelset, light tubular tyres (latex Clements), no water or bags, and D/A freewheel, it weighs about 18.5 lbs.

Nice ride! Good to see a road bike with down tube mounted levers. Traditional is sometimes best

Those levers are Campagnolo, circa 1965, and look like they were machined out of aluminum billets. The rims are Ambrosio Montreal tubulars, circa late 1970's, the hubs are Campy Record, tyres are Tufo S33 special tubulars, the derailleurs are Dura Ace, the freewheel (now) is an old Suntour 13-15-16-17-19-24, and the chain is SRAM pc-68. The saddle is a Brooks Team Professional, and the brakes and cranks are 105. I built the bike myself.

Nice looking bikes
Nice looking bikes - I think the Trek has the edge looks wise but I like the Cannondale as well. Not sure about that peculier thing your bike holder was attached to though

Nice looking bikes. :thumbup:
What are the red U-shaped things next to the fork mounts in the truck?
Did you know someone shot an arrow into your saddle on the Cannondale?

The U-shaped things are U hooks, 3/dollar, and that's where I put my wheel when transporting. The thing under the saddle is my 'trafficator', which slides in and out, keeping cars from sideswiping me on the road. I made it from a yelow driveway marker.
The dynohub works fine.
