I picked up another frame the other day. It's a Giant Cadex CFR3 from around 1994. It has carbon tubes for the main triangle glued into alloy lugs. The BB is titanium. The rear triangle is all alloy. (Not bad for a give away) I'm thinking I may strip it back to raw carbon, paint the alloy parts matt grey to match the Titanium BB. Then clearcoat the whole thing after applying new decals... Then finally equip it with a full SRAM RED ETAP group. (wireless electric shifting)
American frame + American components

Sounds like you are going to ride that bike? Those are very soft and nice riding bikes, that's if they don't come apart. One of my fav. is the Look KC171 of course. Similar, but a few years newer then the Cadex. All carbon but lugs. I always ended up grabbing that bike for rides. Its if good enough to Jalabert, good enough for me. Its long gone now.
