OK, this was part impulse buy, part 'good idea' when I bought it back in August, but its been used shamefully little since.
2011 Cannondale CAADX 105, 56cm.
Swapped the 105 rear mech and shifters for (new) Campag Veloce as I wanted to try Campag.
I also fitted some Shimano M540 pedals.
Stock everything else although I've fitted a fork mounted front brake hanger to reduce the judder in the front brake, and replaced all the cable ends for anodised green ones because I was bored.
Its difficult to convey in the photos but the bike looks as new, other than the slightly scuffed tyres.
It rides fast and light, I only ever sprinted to and from work through Edinburgh but over the lumpy cobbles on the Royal Mile it behaved as you'd expect, smoothed the bumps out enough that you could keep the power down over them. My few very short offroad diversions were much as you'd expect, although the almost slick tyres were a bit 'exciting' on any mud.
Quite reluctant to get rid of it but need to find some money for an unexpected trip out to Canada so can't really justify an £1100 commuter... Looking for £675 posted.
