If steel, then I find a blowtorch and a wire brush is the easiest and least messy. Bit at a time and don't get it too hot, just enough to melt the paint.

Very nice. The cranks have come out really well.

I'd change the stem since they are both ugly and flexy, but other than that it's a lovely build.

This is going to be awesome.

That's a nice car ruined.

Polestar 2 does look great, but the interior isn't quite as nice as I would've expected.

I guess the E5 stays then. The Devinci is lovely in person though, first road bike I've seen in ages which has turned my head. Bit different and made in Canada which goes well ith my Banshee and Chromag for a maple heavy fleet.

Yeh, I think it'sd look better with black tyres, but the veloflex were cheap and ride really nice. I think I want to go tubeless when they wear out though.

Looking back though the photos show it's original look

And the HH look

I do think I may regret it.

Well it's a 2003 so wasn't new when i got it . It's been through many changes though and I'm not sure I can let it go. Probably wouldn't get much for the frame either.

I do love it and it is great to ride with the Veloflex tubulars, but I have had it 5 years or so now (in various builds) so I'm getting a bit of an itch to change, but also know I'll never get another one as nice and I can't have two roadies.

Is it time to upgrade my faithful old Spesh for some hydro-disced, carbon-framed modernity?

Does look value. Cannondale have made some lovely looking bikes, but that isn't one of them.

Process 29 looks amazing, I really want to try one. I loved my 26" Process and should've never sold it.

They're really annoying. If you have to take out your front wheel for transportation at all, then don't bother. Otherwise they do at least work with no issues, but I quickly changed my mind and sold the forks to go back to 100mm ones.

Lovely. Shame it's not much bigger.

Posted elsewhere, but who made these track forks? There's a Bob griffin cycles sticker on the steerer.

Who made these forks? Undrilled track forks with a Bob Griffin Cycles sticker on the steerer if that helps.

Cheers

Aside from the saddle, seatpost and pedals, but otherwise it's lovely.

Oooh, that's lovely. Might have to see how much they'd want to ship it over here.

I've never had much issue with regular sealant drying up since I change tyres fairly often, but not gunking up valve cores would be lovely.

I'd look at the Vitus offerings on CRC, the Sonder transmitter and the Calibre Bossnut. Really great bikes for the money.

Thanks, hoping to get out and test it tomorrow.

Tyres are directional, wish they were a bit stealthier in general.

Stunning bike! I quite like the white spokes, never seen them look anything other than terrible before, so I'd keep them.

After 2.5 years with my Codeine and many changes it was time for something new. Amazingly in this age of ever-changing standards, everything except the headset swapped straight over. I don't buy bikes, I just change them one part at a time, that way you never have to add up the cost.

Codeine mk1

Codeine mkX

Prime mk1

Droppers are brilliant, you never realise how much you need to one til you have it. I hate riding off road without one now. The Brand X one is brilliant and pretty cheap.

I think this is about as close as I fancy going, too much post out and I think it'll be a bit of a risk with an old alu Cannondale.

Added some Rivendell Rolly Polys, bottle cages and a Flite to the Silk Road.

If only it were a bit bigger it would always be the first choice.

That's awesome, really love the paint! Can't decide if it might look better with fewer spacers and more rise on the stem.

Just Google your phone model + skin. Should add a bit more grip and nice and thin. I've used Xtremeskins before and they seem decent enough for the money.
