This Cannondale Caad10 was my first road bike. I’ve had it nearly 10 years now, and It’s been raced, crashed, painted, and now unpainted. I had been a little on the fence about stripping its custom paint as it did have some sentimental value, but it was looking a bit tired and didnt inspire me to ride it. It also weighed a fair bit being painted over the original factory finish. My boss has a bit of a penchant for retro mountainbikes and knew a guy who could strip it for me, and I’m really pleased with how this has turned out.
