... is correct! Don Pardo, tell 'im what he's won!
Thrift store sale find, only discovered the fork after I brought it home of course. I found an exact match on the 'Bay a couple weeks later. Andy @ YJ is sure he can straighten this one for pretty cheap; I just need an excuse to make the drive up there.

Well these will have do to start, again.
They are the two that literally raised the bar and got me riding 66cm bikes for proper fit.
It only took 45 years.
And I just finished another that will get pics of soon so standby.

Seems to me that Cannondale has been fading into the past. Now that they've been resold to the holding company that also has Cervelo, it will be interesting if they keep sponsoring teams.

And still have these more vintagy silver Cannondales

I'm sure I posted this Cresta GT the last time around but there have been some changes. I swapped out the Titec saddle and post for this Ideale #6 ladies' saddle, trying to get some more comfort, and added the front rack and some lights. Still have nor ridden it much and probably should sell it. That's why I have not made my go-to mods, a shorter reach and taller stem, aero levers and barcons; too much to undo if I do decide to part with it. Nice bike but I'm not using it.

My 1983 67 cm Nobilette. Obtained this winter and completely overhauled and rebuilt using period-appropriate choices aside from the pedals 
. Rides great.

Sure, and it's mutual...I can't help but admire the similarities between our bikes. It's based on a 1970 Raleigh Pro Mk.I which was chromed sometime in the past. I got it as a frame and fork 3-4 years ago. It evolves gradually as needs and opportunities arise. It's a comfortable and sure-footed ride, I take it out when I'm being adventurous around NYC and on moderate gravel and dirt rides. It gets more comments than any other bike I ride.
Keen-eyed observers (aka most of the C&V crowd!) can probably identify most of the build:
VO crankset & BB, Shimano A250 pedals
Microshift 2x10 shifters & brifters
Sun XCD high-flange rear hub, Sanyo-sonic dynamo front hub, Mavic Module 3 rims, RH Bon Jon rubber
Not pictured, Mafac Competition brakes - I replaced the Racers in these photos over the winter
Campy Record headset
I think the stem is a Grand Comp with Nitto Noodle bars
Nitto Crystal Fellow seatpost, Brooks Imperial Flyer
VO faceted fenders
BM head and tail lights
Silca Impero, VO rack, Acorn front and Brooks rear bags, Zefal cage, Kleen Kanteen, Crane bell
Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
