cracked cannondale frame   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #428 of 1580 |
I have an aluminum cannondale caad7 frame sitting in my basement that I'd like to put to good use.  I don't know exactly what that means because it has a small crack in the top tube from a crash and is most likely not suitable for riding/racing.  Does anyone have a good recommendation for what to do with the frame?  It's really high quality metal and it seems like it would be a shame just to toss it in the recycling.  Any suggestions?

For cross, the bikes are all heavier and get beatings...I'd go cheaper on the frame if it was me. But I am poor. Now carbon wheels might shed through mud...

I wasn't talking about the steerer. I understand that a Bontrager carbon wheel failure was the reason for his Pairee Roo Bikes DNF this year....
