I picked this masi up as a second bike. I gave it a better saddle (stock was a little too cushy). Then I did blow some money on it for different wheels (I'll use the stock ones for the trainer and less than perfect weather days).
those goofy pedals are 324's (clipless/platform), its a confidence thing for me so I'm sticking with them for now.

...Some really nice bikes here!!!
For my first post I'd like to show you my first road bike that I picked up a week ago after a series of disappointing mountain bikes (I just never got the point - probably because I never left the road...
.
I belong on the road!
It's a Rigdeback Genesis Day 5 with an aluminium frame and carbon fibre front forks, handlebars and rims. It has Campagnolo brake levers/gear shifters, chainring, rear derailer, Shimano Ultegra cassette and front deraillier. Rolls San Marco saddle and Shimano wheels (rims + hubs).
It rocks my world, baby!

My best guess is that your cannondale is a 1989 or 1990 model. I purchased my first road bike in 1989. It was a Trek 1400...and it had that same component group. Looks like your bike was well cared for.

I dig the silver saddle and bar tape. I used to have a Schwinn Paramount (back when Schwinn's were good) decked out the the same way. Looks cool! (Except I died the saddle, and it kept rubbing off on my wool cycling shorts 
)
)

Just built this 06' TITUS Modena using 05' Motobecane Ultegra/DA/FSA parts and added CK Headset, Titec Ti Post. @16lbs @$2k complete.
Its just fast as lightning.....a climbers' bike and more thanks to the Ti post and 23C tires, not too bad on ruff roads. I think it just looks goooood!

*edit: Oop, never mind, that's not a Festina colored Allez, but I do like the traditional geometry Allez.
