Could you get the frame & do a parts swap? More so the former. My size (56) is out of stock online I think I could for the most part do a frame swap w/ my components. However this frame has direct mount rim brakes, so I'd need to buy a new pair of calipers because mine our center mount. That's no biggie providing the my levers will still work correctly. I have Ultegra 6700. I need to verify my QR wheel sizes. But I think everything else would transfer over. The BB is BB30 so that's the same as my CAAD 10. In the 80s & 90s, Cannandale had a frame upgrade policy. You could trade in your frame for any reason, and pay IIRC $400 at the time, and get a brand new one. I don't think they offer this, but I'd look into it if I was seriously going to do it. Or just off mine on Ebay. I text the pic to BCC, and she's trying to talk me into it she said "damn, time to build a new bike" then "but how often does that come along?" referring to the paint scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose red w/ yellow decals. Remember the yellow plastic bar tape? Yeah, that's what I put on It turned out really well.

I love all 3 of my bikes. 50 year old Schwinn Varsity for cruising around and doing small errands in town. 30 year old Bridgestone MB4 for gravel riding or for getting a more intense road ride in a short amount of time. Stradalli for the full blown road bike experience. Each is fun in it’s own way and I try to ride each at least once during the week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy in the love forum who said I should stop riding it before the joints popped apart. I stopped riding it because the rims and the drivetrain wore oot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted June 29, 2022 Share #38 Posted June 29, 2022 A few years back when I picked up that Fuji Cross it came with a 46/36 crank. I found I liked that crank over a 50/34 as the 34 really is just a climbing gear. It seemed to find the sweet spot on flats I’m often cross chained. When I had the Ritchey built up I put a 46/36 cross crank on it. The 46/36 gives up a little bit on the high & low end but I find I’m rarely cross chained. I paired it with a 11-34 cassette and I’m good on climbs and just coast on downhills anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 50/34, I can use the 28 while seated or stand, go up a few gears, and stand for a bit, and then back to sitting using the 28. I definitely prefer standing while climbing, but unlike Contador (he would train by standing on a climb for 30 mins at a time!!!!), I can't stand for many full climbs. A few mins, sure, but a climb over mile or so would require a sit/stand/sit/stand rotation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I would hammer up all the hills. And a friend said I remind him of Contador If I already know a hill, I "know" how to climb it. I can measure my effort and can attack it to my level of ability. So, local climbs I am usually comfortable on and some get the hammer up approach, and some get the stand/sit/stand/sit mix with some harder efforts where I know I will have a respite after that hammering. But new terrain really makes me dial it back a lot out of fear of blowing up early, and then having an awful remaining ride. I often finish a new century with lots in the tank, and if I do it again, hopefully remember the route a bit and can go harder. More likely, I'll again finish with more in the tank, but also be irritated I didn't remember the route well enough to ride it well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
