What does $150 buy you in Lancaster Pa on a Saturday night??
A barely ridden, 1989 Cannondale SR700!

I added a set of brake hoods from Amazon ($16). I got this a bike to use on my indoor trainer but now am having thoughts of using the 10 speed, Shimano 105 stuff I have on hand and giving it a go on the open road. |
That bike sure has a lot of privilege; I haven't seen anything that white since Collin Quinn last had a comedy special. If hockey were a bike - that would be the bike. Needs Sante.
|
And with Suntour components. Nice score. You don't really want to try to spread that aluminum frame to fit a wider hub, do you?
|
Damn. I'm looking to build an old Cannondale or Klein with modern gear.
|
and I was going to say a lot of beer and pole dancing...... :D

That looks like a time capsule! Buddy of mine had a Cannondale like that around 89-90. Looked like that except it was black. Didn’t know enough at the time to know if it was a black lightning or not. I remember “look at those gigantic tubes!” and “wow a bike made from aluminum!”. |
Oh, yeah. Get some Sante on that rig, stat. If I had any in my bin, I’d be mailing them off to you asap.
|
oo wee! I raced a lot of miles on one of those. It was a great battle axe for crits. Have fun.

Wowzer! It should be named the "White Lightening" model! Well done!
BTW, I had no trouble fitting 130mm hub in my '92 R600 2.8 Cannondale. They are great riding bikes. |
Mmmyip. 👍 I'd prefer a tourer, but I'd ride that, if I had to. 😁😉
|
Ride it like you stole it.
Cause you did. |
I had a '91 R800 (same frame?). It was the fastest, quickest bike I've ever owned. BUT, back in the day we were using 21-23mm tires pumped to 125 PSI, and that made the AL fork beat me mercilessly. As much as I liked that bike, those cantilevered dropouts always made me avert my eyes. But you did GOOD
|

Nice score! Add the caliper arms from these to whitify further...

Jesus, that's WHITE HOT! Gumwall/brown-sidewall tires are so nice on a white bike. Enjoy the heck out of it!

Looks like a White lightening.

Ok to confirm this fits 130 rear spacing with no problem.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...995d02e97.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5dac46546.jpeg That is a 10 speed, 12-30 Shimano Ultegra cassette and Blaze derailleurs and levers shift fine across all gears in friction mode. This one is for Robvolz: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4242b0504.jpeg It will live on this trainer until spring, I have sweat protection stuff, and then I will see about a build. 52/52, 13-21 is not really gearing that would work for me. I do have a set of 28 hole Pacenti Brevet/ White Industries t11 hub wheels in silver and either 10 speed Dura Ace dot shifters or 105 brifters. Looks like it would take 25mm tire max. Anyone ever gotten a 28 on this era? |

The nice thing with that setup is you don't have to shift the front very often. :p

Seeing White Lightening mounted on a trainer--- makes me so happy those cold snowy days of winter training rides are in my past! :D
