I had one!! I sold it when I had to get a real job and a life etc etc. White with D-A 9-speed, and awesome 28 spoke Mavic Paris-Roubaix SSC tubulars for racing.
Great bike....I'd love to get the Molteni orange one that's around now.

Do you reckon whoever buys it will be like George Costanza when he thinks he's bought Jon Voigt's Le Baron??

GEORGE: What Consumer? I'm the consumer.
JERRY: Alright. Seems like...a strange choice.

What's the laws down in Victoria anyway? No 150 hp/tonne rule? Do they have something like REVS so you can get onto bigger bikes quicker if you've had your car licence long enough?

I don't know if I am at the right place or not. Does any one know anything about a Cannondale SC600?
