I bought this old R800 from 1994 and converted it into a fixed gear bike. It's great to ride, very agile and responsive. Perfect for urban riding. It's also lightweight : 6.3kg !
Frame:
Cannondale R800 allumium 6061, from 1994, handmade in the USA
T.54
Fork/Headset:
Zeus carbon fork
Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Shimano 105 in 42t / Dura-Ace BB 7700
Pedals:
Shimano SPD M520
Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
White Industries 16t cog
Saddle/Seatpost:
San Marco Replica Racing / Carbon selcof
Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Mach1 made from magnesium (f***** light!) 20 spokes radial
Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Mach1 mounted with White Industries Eno eccentric hub 28 spokes / Hutchinson Intensive2 25c
More Info:
Tips : the Hutchinson Intensive2 25c is, for me, the best tire ever for fixed gear bikes! Extremely resistant to skidding, last 10 times longer than everything I've tried so far!
