Noob bike and components
So I am a newbie to cycling in general. I'm 16. I have a new bike.
-80's Cannondale Aluminum Series 3.0
-Suntour gearshift system, called "BLAZE", downtube shift system
-Nitto stem
-Vetta seat
-Suntour Dia-Comp Brakes
-The handlebar, ans far as I can tell has etchings of italy in it. and it says "ITALIANRB" I have no idea what this is.
So tell me what I'm basically looking at, will you?

One of my friends had that exact bike, I think it was a mid 80's? Like 86 or 87 maybe? In any case, what you are looking at, is a 80's-ish Cannondale 3.0... I'm really not sure what you are asking about at all.

Rac, I think you are looking at a bike.
Here's a tip= the more detailed question you ask, the better answer you will get.
Are you looking for the quality of the components? The $$ worth? The upgrade value? What?
What do you want to know?

Neh, I wasn't looking to upgrade anything. And I left a sentence out... whoops...
Anyway, I was hoping to have people reminesce about old Cannondale bikes. Wanted to see what kind of stories people could dig up.

Upgrade possibilities are very limited. Rear axle spacing is 126.
