I bought this frame during the week and built it up yesterday with parts from another bike. No cable stops and bottle mounts only on the seat tube are stupid features, but otherwise it’s a great bike. I’m yet to ride a Cannondale I don’t like.
Specs:
2010 Capo frame with a CAAD9 Slice Ultra road fork.
Thomson stem
Look carbon seatpost
Fizik Arione saddle
White Industries hubs & freewheel, 32H CXP33 rims, semi aero spokes, built with love and care by Dan
Chorus cranks
Rival brake levers (well…10 speed shifters with the shifter blades removed)
Rival calipers (Thanks Laura!)
It came with a Kinesis fork but that has slightly less steerer and slightly less tyre clearance. But at 380g it weighs half the CAAD9 fork so I’ll probably swap them around again. Sugarkane understands.
Crap phone pics only at the moment. It weighs in at 7.9kg.
And some old blood on the lever from the last time I rode with Nikcee.
Gonna be hard to do that on a Capo frame. I like it.
And the blood thing? Gotta be done…I don’t think I’ve ever built up a bike without shedding blood on it somewhere in the process. Guess you could say there’s a little bit of my DNA in every one of my bikes.
Sweet build. I wanna know how little it weighs, and dont tell me you havent weighed it!
Pity about the mavic rims- i hear they’re not wide and cool enough.
Nice description It’s built for reliably racking up kms, not being a showpiece. 70kms since yesterday so far and it’s working well.
They’re 23mm tyres at the moment but only because that’s what I had lying around. I’m hoping I can squeeze a 28 into that fork. If not, I’ll either swap the fork or go with 25s.
