Also, when you list it, it might be fair to the potential buyers to mention that it has 126 mm spacing, not modern 130. However, many of us put 130mm wheels on 126 bikes, including old Cannondales. I rode mine after work today running Campy 10 speed.

OK, corrections to the "HANDMADE" and removed the Shimanno. What next?

You asked! I love the USA, but I've never liked the "Handmade in the USA" graphic. If it were me, I'd also leave that space blank. If you want to include it, perhaps put it on the chain stay where the "Shimano" used to be in a much smaller and matching font.
Someone had previously suggested that you upgrade your membership so you can sell the frame on BF, you have very good skills, I think you could make some extra pocket money painting frames for profit.

I've only been here a couple months myself and occasionally seen the other memberships referred to. I believe that a higher membership allows you to advertise in the Marketplace forum: https://www.bikeforums.net/forumdispl...e-Market-Place
I guess I'd hit the "contact us" at the bottom of the pages or go directly to Tom Stormcrowe he's linked at the bottom of the main forum page for more information.

If your trying to keep with newer Cannondale sticker placement protocol, here are a few suggestions:
- Handmade in the USA font needs to change. "USA" being a diff color, similar to how C'dale does it. Plus it doesnt have to be that big, shrink it down a tad. Current font looks like its made in China.
- SR500 should move to the place of Cannondale on Top Tube.
- Chain Stays should say "www.cannondale.com"
This will give the SR500 a modern factory look and keep with C'dales decal placement.

What ever happened to artistic license?
Sigh,,, well that's it for tonight. Maybe hammer at it some more tomorrow after noon. Just trying to get it to a point where most of the folks like it. Then I know I am dialed in to the center of what will sell best.
