Size 56, paint is amazing for an 80s Cannonball, but some chipping here and there.
No frame damage, not a dent or a ding, fork is straight as an arrow.
Components are are original equipment, including the wheels, and saddle. It came to me without pedals and Ive got a pair of black anodized Suntour Sprint track pedals on there now that would have come on the bike from the facory. Not pictured but they are in nearly new condition as befitting the rest of this show horse.
These old Cannondale frames where hand welded, so they have some small variations...
This one will JUST barely fit 28mm tires! Its close, and I imagine not all 28s will fit, but it can be done.
Located in Chicago.
I need to check the serial number to nail down the year...

Its a light scuff, it hasnt abraded through the perforated leather layer, Ill grab a snapshot when I get home from visiting the east coast.
When I got the bike, I put the saddle in a drawer and Ive been riding it with a cut down brooks to preserve that saddle.

What tires do you have on there, I kind of like the tread pattern. I wish my Cdale was a 56.
