Cannondale Black Lightning, weekly vintage find!





















Already clocked 40 miles like it is, my hands were destroyed at the end of the ride with those handlebars. As much of a fixie look those bars may have, its impossible for me with my wide shoulders, maybe on quick short rides.

Will install a conservative 42cm handlebar, newer levels, change the cables, bar tape, more comfortable saddle for longer rides and maybe a good nice paint. Shifts smoothly, all components work, some minor adjustments / TLC, lube and done. Got somewhere a new chain, quick project for the week.

Bike has some punch out of the saddle, front fork has a lot of vibration on rough roads, but it will kill the look of the bike if it gets replaced, and defeats the purpose of having one after all.
