I just brought back my old-new bike. This is early 90s Cannondale criterium frame (3.0 series), it's the biggest they've ever made 66cm. It was catching dust for the last few year and we have decided to upgrade it.

Here is the parts list:

Ritchey Comp carbon fork, nothing else fits this beast :)
FSA Orbit X headset
Ritchey WCS stem and bars + Look tape
FSA SL-K MegaExo compact crank
Look Keo pedals
Zero Gravity Ti brakes
DT 240s hubs, DT rims, Revolution spokes, brass nipples (28 fron, 32 rear)
Ritchey Race Slick tires
First generation Syncros post
Fizik Arione saddle
everything else is Campy Record

weight 8kg

I think I'll start shaving my legs :D

I have the same frame, and after adding up the parts to do an upgrade, (actually to build out a brand new 2.8 frame I have in the attic), I bought a new R5000 instead...

I think your top tube is taller than my saddle height!

I've seen it side by side w/ Simoni's winning bike from '03 Giro. I looked like his whole bike will fit inside my fron triangle. :D
I did just a few rides on this monster and it rides pretty well - I almost forgot how nice road biking can be after all those years on the MTB. I dig the power transfer, you ride as fast as you can pedal as there is no suspension. Ahh, it brings me flashbacks...

I was thinking about new bike for a few moments, but I didn't know what to do w/ this "old" frame so I build this monster - I think it cost me about 1/2 of what would R5000 cost me over here (EU) including the Zero Gravity brakes.
