My dad bought one of these in 1987 and used it for about 20 years. I rode it for a little while, but it's too small for me and I find the ride of aluminum to be unforgiving so I mounted the frame on my wall. It, and many other 1987 Cannondales for that matter, do have some of the most garish and distinctive paint jobs I have ever seen on mass production bicycles. It's probably not the best bike of 1987 (surely there are better steel bikes to be had), but it's certainly fun and distinctive. http://www.vintagecannondale.com/year/1987/1987.pdf
