They do look pretty cool, to my eyes. There is the slightest wobble in this rear wheel. I had it trued at a LBS, but it still has maybe a 1/32" wobble to it.

Thanks. It's great fun to ride, for sure. Can't wait to get it loaded up and out for some riding/camping weekends.

Thanks all,

Buy a spare derailleur hanger right away, while you can. Gods below only know if you'll be able to get one in 10 years without a trip to a local machine shop. Older Cannondale touring frames are about as good as it ever got, or ever will get. Treat it well and put it in your will... your grandkids will thank you, because it'll still be an awesome bike.

You wax poetic, Shannon. Ha ha. For now I'm pretty much in agreement with you about leaving it as is. Though I still have the problem of weak muscles (old man), bad lungs (too many years of smoking) and hillls (Oy, that looks steep). I'm with you on the derailleur hanger, I already checked and they are still available so I will order one in the next week or two. I do need to harmonize the fenders, I think. Seems SKS/Esge no longer has these in the gold that cam originally on the bike. So I was thinking maybe some Bluemels in matt black? Or maybe some hammered aluminum with copper finish? Any thoughts?
