Cannondale R300 polished aluminum

After successfully transforming my old beat-up Cannondale R300 racing bike [https://www.flickr.com/photos/28906010@N06/sets/72157634318697644/] I decided to do this with one that was in even worse shape. This is a smaller frame that fits me better and hopefully will be a regular at nightly crit practice (starting tonight, Labor Day 2014).

Everything came from my stash of goodies except the replacement brake cable guides that are on order. Most of the components installed, a mix of Shimano and Campagnolo, were previously used except the Campagnolo Victory down tube shifter, Shimano 600 brake calipers, Shimano XTR rear derailleur, unknown (Kaloy?) seat post, Forte handlebar, and Fizik handlebar tape which came from my NOS stock.

This frame came with some dings as shown. Ding #1 on the left chain stay was caused by myself, a heavy hammer carelessly dropped from my workbench.
