Bikes: Old Steelies I made, Old Cannondales

I've converted an old Cannondale & a steel bike for about $300 - $350 each (budget conversion).
- Left dropouts at 126. Didn't bother coldsetting
- Using original Sugino crank & Campy NR front derailleur from 1984. Works fine. 10 speed crank with old FD on the other bike
- Campy ergo 10 speed shifters w/ 10 speed rear derailleur
- 10 speed wheel, cassette & chain

There are several long threads in C&V on this, so it might be worth a look.
I cheaped out on these conversions because they were not my primary bikes. Just wanted a modern drivetrain. You can spend as much as you want.
