Just a sad little footnote to this thread. I got a "great" deal yesterday, on a 1989 Cannondale SM400, in beautiful RED, and in the hard to find 22" size. I knew it was mistreated, it badly needed a repaint, but took a chance. After some cleaning, I discovered a nasty crack, near the BB shell and seat stays. 😩 Look before you leap comes to mind, a little too late this time. 🙄😉

Unknown model or year Bianchi that I've been building up. I have new old stock brake calipers that I'm replacing those Shimano Adamas AX ones with.
My $30.00 saved from the dump Miyata 710 that came with new tires with the cardboard tag still wrapped around them. Wheels have Shimano 105 hubs.
Cheers

Not sure exactly how it was done, ended up with this when I said "I want it darker the Sarinoni red", Black Magic supposedly used just the basecoat.
