Cicli Meacci

Circa 1990 56cm Cannondale SR300. A nice stiff and light ride. Had some odd paint bubbling around where metal came in contact with Aluminum. Primarily Suntour Blaze components but I replaced the cranks with the white Shimano Sante cranks when I couldn't get the pedal off.

So I'm hooked on owning a Cannondale. Only catch is that I tend to buy and sell them anyway. Most recently a pair of vintage early 90's black Cannondales I owned for about a week. The first is a 54cm R400 with a complete Shimano 600 groupset. The second described in the next post. A very nice aluminum ride but can't convince myself to keep one. 3 for 3 and yet to keep one in the stable.

Another update: After some research on the bike forum and Bob Hovey's Masi website I think the bike was made by Mondonico in Italy in January 1991. The serial number is 1113. Its a 54cm frame, which feels small compared to the Bianchi. A difference in geometry no doubt. Masi has an interesting and confusing manufacturing history between America and Italy. I decided to swap some parts from the Colnago to see if I could make the frame fit better. I added a Deda Magic 120mm stem and Ritchey Logic II bars and changed the pedals to some track platforms. The 3T stem was just too aggressive for comfortable riding. I like the look just as much as the vintage quill stem. I've toyed with adding some ergo shifters to this and ride it more regularly. Awesome purple color. Added a Campagnolo Chorus drivetrain and the Campy Electron/Proton wheelset to this 54cm lightweight beauty .Its a little too small for me, but the ride is just too nice to quit. It has Shimano 600 headset and brak

This bike rides like a dream! Weighs in at 20lbs, a 58cm Columbus Gilco frame with full vintage campy chorus 8 speed groupset. The wheels, as pictured, are Mavic open pro with Campagnolo record hubs. Cinelli stem and bars with a Chorus headset. Love the art decor paint scheme. Also changed out the large 53t chainring with a 50t chainring that suits my riding better and just swapped the saddle for a Selle Italia Turbo.
