I have a Cannondale Rush 1000 with an aluminium frame (the black and silver one) and have made a lot of upgrades to bring the weight down - Crossmax SLF wheels, FSA carbon cranks etc etc and it now weighs a respectible 26lb and will probably be down to about 25lb with a few more tweaks.
Which leaves me thinking about upgrading the frame for the carbon version before they stop making it next year. Being as I can buy a whole bike for £100 more than the frame in current sales, I was going to swap the best bits out and sell what is left as a whole bike. If I could get £750 for the old bike then the new frame would work out at about £850.
The question is - would it be worth it? Does the new Himod carbon frame ride any better? Have I become slightly obsessed? Will the red and white paint scheme look as good as I imagine with red Crossmax SLR hubs?
