Offered for trade: 1993 Cannondale SR400 3.0
Wanted: Steel frame road or touring bike with more relaxed frame geometry

Edit: If you're mostly interested in the frame, I'd be willing to swap out parts (i.e. I keep the wheelset from the Cannondale, and you keep the wheelset from your bike, I keep the cassette and rear derailleur from the Cannondale, you keep yours from your bike, etc. etc.) Just as long as I end up with a complete, or almost complete road or touring bike, with compatible parts, I have no problems with assembling it.



As you can see, this is my misguided attempt at converting a bike with a racing geometry to a more comfortable, touring bike. I'd like to trade this for a complete road or touring bike in very good condition, preferably with gearing for hilly terrain (large rear sprockets, small granny front). I'm open to all offers.

Frame measures 60/61 cm C-T, and 54/55 cm C-C. I'd like a similar size frame, or one slightly smaller.

Overall, this bike is in very good condition. The frame (3.0 aluminum - very light!) has only very minor chips in the paint (you can see the worst in the photo about 2 inches below downtube shifter), but the rest of the paint job is great. There are absolutely no dents or dings in the frame. The headset and hubs have just been overhauled with new bearings, all cables and housing are brand new, the set of Continental Ultra Sports (700x25s) and tubes are brand new, the 13-32 cassette is new, the Acera rear derailleur is new, the KMC chain is new, and the brake pads have little wear.

The chainrings have some wear, but they have lots of life left in them (see photo below). I've never serviced the bottom bracket in my 2 years of ownership (rode it very little until recently), but they still turn smoothly.



The wheels were trued by a friend 2 years ago, but they may need re-truing, although in my amateur opinion, they are fine.

I can include the original components, shown in photo below, if you like. However, I will NOT be including the stem and handlebars currently on the bike, or the saddle pictured in the photo (saddle is borrowed from a friend). I can reassemble and tape the old bars back if you like, or if you have plans for a different set of stem/bars, I can leave them be.



The bike you plan to trade doesn't have to be equipped with a stem, handlebars or saddle (obviously). However, I'd like a bike to fit my current stem (22.2mm).

RX-100 170mm Double crankset 52/42
RX-100 7 speed downtube shifters (front is friction, rear is SIS)
RX-100 Front derailleur
