I know what you mean, I felt the exact same way. The look is definitely an acquired taste, but it really grows on you. I bought my ST500 for cheap with plans to sell, but ended up really liking it and now I have two other vintage Cannondales I'm building up. Right now, I'm working on an 86 SR800 I bought as a frame and am building up with Superbe Pro.
