I made it difficult by doing a retro/vintage build. Any choice I make will have problems. If I bought a new bike there would be a large chunk of money that wouldn't be available for some other need.
I started a CAD model of a garage build carbon bike a few days ago. Right now I'm just copying the geometry of the largest frame I could find online. This project is an bottomless pit of problems. I have to think about the structural strength of the interface of the aluminum drop outs (I'll make them myself) and the carbon frame.
I got the Cannondale back together today. New taller stem, handle bar tape on, new front brake cable on. I can start putting miles on the clock.
But not this weekend. I'm leaving to San Diego tomorrow to visit some friends. Will be back at it Monday and maybe Tuesday I can start riding a little.
