It's nice when you can take something and make it usable again. Take this old Cannondale hybrid for example. It had clearly seen better days, but it had some sentimental value, and the owner wanted to see if we could inject some new life into it. But of course we could. For the sake of full disclosure it should be noted that this bike belongs to my girlfriend, and was not what you would call a normal case. Nearly every part was replaced. Not something we would expect most people to do, but many of the parts used had been languishing in boxes for years. They were cast offs from old bikes of mine. It was nice to see them used again. She loves the bike, and it's a great example of what can be done to make a bike useful again. Check out the photos. I think it's a pretty dramatic before and after. Ride on! Chris
