  This was one of my favourite threads on here until

  we must appreciate what we already own and realise buying things for the bike makes little difference compared to putting even modest miles on its current standing 😌

  I think I need a minute

  That's gonne be quite ambitious cable routing. Maybe try a flexible V-brake noodle?

  Mental that this still hasn't sold

  It is structurally sound, but I don't think it's worth it to ship a frame of this value (I'd feel bad taking anything above 20€ for it, it's that bad), considering I'm not in the EU.

  Love old Cannondales, looking forward to seeing it built up!

  I am also lookin for a cdale T frameset in sz 55/56 if anyone wants to get rid...

  maybe, but it's ratty and in Switzerland, so probably not of much use.

  There’s no such thing as gravel.

  Flamme Rouge is a good idea, maybe also check out Zweiradgeber. Their Mads could work for you (although it's a bit on the pricy side imo), they also sell all city and omnium.

  Oof, that's brilliant. Normally not a fan of the g3 lacing, but it works pretty well here.

  Ribble would have to be imported, which in theory isn't really a hindrance, but right now will probably be a bit difficult (same goes for Condor, I think you can get Genesis locally in Switzerland).

  I used to own a Canti Bivio but now ride a Bombtrack Hook ext, definitely prefer the latter - but both would be above your budget new (there was a hook for 1000 on velomarkt a week ago though). Maybe reconsider steel only, aluminium frames can often be found cheaper.

  If it's proper urgent and sizing works, you could borrow a bike from me for a bit (I'm in Zurich too).
