That was a pleasure to watch. Great video!

Isn’t it amazing how we spend so much time and money on headsets yet they will never turn a revolution, 20yr tour mech I love to see the young lads do this, well done you. Ps, always put the bike on the floor to tighten and align your wheels so they are fully engaged. We always used to tape the bars down to avoid using tape.

9:15, ah, you see, the thing about Mavic wheels is that they've been using road 11 speed spacing long before it became a standard. If you remove the spacer that was on the freehub body behind the cassette, you can fit a standard 11 speed road cassette with no issue. It’s one of the reasons I've been a fan of Mavic wheels for my vintage road bike restomods.

Awesome build! It really does look fantastic👍
I did something slightly similar a couple of years ago. I got a CAAD 9 frame (with a tiny dent in the top tube just like yours), 2nd hand ultegra r8000 group set, old mavic aksium's with aero spokes (from my bro), look keo max 2, aliexpress carbon seat post, stem and handle bars (with internal cabling, WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I had to enlarge the holes in the end) and a shimano pro saddle.
It is super ace 😁and it seems even more special because I built it. Apart from the handle bars it was pleasure to assemble and so much fun. I'd really recommend building up a bike from scratch. Go on, have a go!

Great video I’m 66 that took me all the way back to when I was 26 which I used to do myself the best bikes in the market too

[OvelNick]

That auto glym is crazy! Ordering some RIGHT now! That's really impressive!
Solid build bro! 🤙 Subscribed!

[PolyglotBikepacker]

Love these videos man! Good job. 10 speed is more than enough for a fun rig.

[efrainsantiagohernandez]

I liked a Cannondale Bike beautifull 👍

[vernonlacey]

just love the narration - the old bike comes alive and the end result is brilliant

[westfeuersongs]

Always a good idea to rebuilt old Cannondale frames. I like your decision to built with 1x10. For 2 of my bikes I used it too.
Tiagra/105/GRX looks homogenic. And not that expensive as 11 or 12 groups. Freehub compatible😀👍

[MirceaCatalinPopescu]

Hi. You can use Shimano hg700 or hg800 11 speed casettes on 10 speed freehub bodies. Shimano made them specifically for that. I have exactly this setup on some older wheels.

[BrianRPaterson]

I have had a set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels that I've had on my Cannondale XS800 for 20 years. The wheels and. The wheels and the bike are still going strong, albeit as a 1x these days.

[stefanthegerman]

Nice build and great bike🤟🏻. my project for the winter is also a hillclimb bike. I use a storck scenario with tune wheelset and a 10 speed campagnolo record. My Goal is 6.5kg.

Nice one Moz, but do plan to replace the truly awful Mavic hubs with something good when you can. Just keep your eyes peeled.
Last week I found an absolutely mint, unmarked set of DT Swiss PR1400 Oxic 23mm rim profile on 36 ratchet 240S hubs, $440 Aussie, with a very new looking Dura Ace cassette & ditto Schwalbe Pro One tyres on.

BTW, CAAD 3s, (1997) are the absolute peak frame, 4s on have the silly cut out at the drop outs that break the frame.

In my collection I have 2 CAAD 3s.
My commuter is an R300 now on full Dura Ace 7800 with 7900 C24s & ultra light everything else. My roadie is an R1000 on full D/A 7700.with 9100 C24s, & I love them both.
