I'm liking this bike more and more, as I ride it more. Just need to upgrade a few things, and lube everything, lol. 😁

How do these aluminum forks holdup? Anyone use the 1 1/4 to 1 1/8 adapter headset?

1inch is all that will fit.
I put a full carbon fork on my Caad 3 and it was an improvement but my original fork was very heavy allu.

Leaves you with a lot of options in the future if you need it.

Ran perfect, so its out on the flight line with the other two.

Here's my Cannondale CAAD5, built up this year with Potenza 11 speed. Frame is a 66cm, but measures 69cm CTT. I've wanted this bike, for a long, long time...

I just acquired a 1986 Cannondale SR400 White today. I'll post a picture once I hit the elusive 10 posts.
Needs some work, but for now I'm just going to attach a cloud 9 seat & look into some tires.
Seems like everything on the bike is still stock besides the saddle.
Looking forward to having it torn down this spring & completed re-done.

So sorry to hear about that last one. I'm sure that he'd be glad to see it in your hands.
