wife's '87 (-ish?) "Competition ST"
It had an interesting, but unconfirmed, story when I bought it (off eBay). It was near enough to Beford PA to make it plausible, and whether or not it's true is a bit irrelevant, it's a lovely 48cm (good size for the wife) aluminium frame with an awesome high-quality custom paint job. Serial # (stamped on bottom bracket shell) is "48370".
I couldn't find any info on a "Competition ST", but the 1987 catalog does mention custom factory paint as an option and "Competition" seems to be sprinkled around here and there in different catalog documentation. I've not seen any frames of this era with the internal brake cable routing in the top tube, but it certainly wasn't hacked in as an afterthought and looks like a factory addition.
I took off all the period-correct 7-speed Shimano bits (indexed DT shifters, biopace crank, etc.) and upgraded everything to Ultegra 6700, and put Campagnolo Khamsin wheels on it.
(Because my wife hated the stem length, I've since changed that to a quill adapter and an adjustable one, until she develops her neck muscles as this is her first road bike and has a more "aggressive" geometry than what she's used to.)

On either the Saved from the Dump or MTB Converted to Dropbar I was told that this is not a Summit bike but an older Cannondale as witnessed by the weird placement of the rear dropouts behind the chainstay/seatstay join. I wonder how many of these dropouts snapped off in use?
Here's the bike converted to a steel dropbar bike with downtube shifters place on a modified brake safety lever.

Not to mention all the trouble to re-do the logos and decals. If it wasn't done by a professional, they should consider themselves so.

Ok ok, my turn again. I think my '89 is great, and as much as the red is nice (along with my "Don't sell a red bike" policy)...something's been missing about it...gahhh. Is it the lack of metallic flake in the paint (good reason), seized drive-side bottom bracket cup (also really good reason--munged one of my bb cup tools trying to break it loose), 3.0 chainstays (don't mind their lack-of-classic-ness), or something else?
I saw this '85 SR500 (or is "Continental Blue" this color--thus a SR300, or is "Plum" this color?) for a great deal in the 63cm size and it was love at first sight. All the rest of the components will essentially pay for the frame, which I was planning to put "spare parts" (A Record/Mavic wheelset is 'spare'??? Really......) on and I flippin' did it, no new buying! And the result is even more stars in my eyes. Paint needed cleaning, waxing, and touch up, and it responded beautifully to it!
3x10 'full feature' Veloce Ergos I rebuilt and re-hooded--they look dynamite and work very well, as well as my 10s Record Ergos because it is, really, pretty much the same inside. Belleri drop bars look great and feel great. I like them as much as Cinelli 64s, even perhaps a bit better for longer term on-the-hoods riding.
The rear triangle was sadly tweaked at some point in its life, though impossible to see. A little drill+filing action aligned the rear wheel decently and I was set. Comp Triple crank and Racing T FD. Veloce RD and cassette. Centaur brake calipers. It all built up easily and the drivetrain needed no adjustment after the test ride. Feels great to ride, and isn't any harsher than steel. Hilariously, I can small-small cross chain with no interference if I simply trim the FD. Not that I'd want to do that or go big-big (which I can do no problem), but to do so on a very short chainstay length is something I find surprising. Looks like another long-term keeper. Shucks....
As bought: An essentially new Brooks Swift? Cyclone 9000 RD and shifters? Miche Competition wheels?
And as built: Need outside pics, too.
Proud Veloce shifters on Belleri bars: Looking and feeling great

I acquired this ST700 from the original owner in near mint condition and has the original owners manual. Components are Shimano 600 and (index shift) Deore mixed. It's staying with me (keeper) since I sold these bikes new from 1987-1990 when I worked at a Cannondale dealer shop.

Two recent builds done on spec to sell in the spring, keeps me from going crazy during the winter months.
This one is a 54cm SR in bottle green with Shimano 105 6 speed. Color doesn't show up well, it's more blue-green than straight blue, had to mix up a custom color to touch it up:
...and this is an '87 SR picked up from a fellow Forumite and updated with really nice tricolor 8 speed and some C2 bits:

Not mine. This one showed up on CL this morning; rollercam brakes, and is that a 24" rear wheel? And it's YELLOW!
