D'you know what. I did originally want Cannondale decals with the correct associated decals but again in good taste, I didn't want any logos that weren't on the bike. My mate is doing me Cannondale font Base Bikes logos for the seat tube and down tube.

Good shout on the Sachs not sram shifter btw. I'd forgotten he used Sachs.

So chuffed with the overall finish though. Looks sweet.

I can't believe it's been 14yrs since I've ridden. Used to ride at Essex Bike Trial Club in the late 90's with Ian Cooper and the Tongue's. My son is 4 and is bike/motorbike nuts so I wanted to be able to blast around with him. He's been off stabilizers for a year so he goes faster than me now! Lol.

I really wanted a retro, nostalgic steed!
