Thrift ship Killer V 500 with ratty vibe

$46. It was so light, and I've never had a Cannondale: I could not not buy it. Everything was original except for the stripped paint, and a comfort saddle, and maybe the 3 purple QRs. I swapped the wheels to some with good tires. Re-cabled it so I could try the big bar setup -- Surly Sunset (heavy) with cheapo BMX clamp (heavy). Not sure if I'll keep it, or revert and resell it.

Not sure why it got mostly stripped. There are no cracks or major dings.

The size sticker is still on the seat tube: 17 inch (BB center to top of top tube), which makes it a medium, I believe. I'm 5'9". This is a 1996, the first year with normal rear dropouts... transitional with Pepperoni fork of the previous model year.

[Grr, can not fix heading typo!]
