As configured here, the sizing is in line with someone more like 6’3”, I am 5’11-1/2”

The Tiagra FD has a broken spring. The shifters both front and rear are non-functional...

Rebuilding this bike with new touring shifters and getting it configured to tour or commute or just to show for that matter should be a fun project.

I may do a frameset weight comparison between the Cannondale Silk Tour 800 and the Trek Multitrack steel frameset (which I had powder coated) to make a determination of which one is more worthy of some hand built 135mm rear, standard QR front WTB Momentum Grease Guard flat black ano hubs that I laced to HED Belgium + tubeless ready rims. I currently have the economy Challenge Paris Roubaix 28 mm open tubulars mounted on these rims but since the frame (either frame) has the clearance - once I get the bike to the road test stage I’ll be looking to run Challenge Strada Biancha Pro open tubular or “TLR” tubeless version. These are listed as being >36 mm wide.
