Restoring and modernizing my childhood dream bike: The Cannondale Super V

When I was younger the cannonade Super V was my dream bike. In this episode I’ll be restoring an old Super V to more than it’s former glory, making it as good as new, but also as modern as I can make it. Raking it out a bit with an offset headset, putting a 27.5 wheel and longer shock in the front, adding disc brakes, and maybe even a dropper post. My goal is to make it look and ride as smoothly as I possibly can for a very special reason which I will reveal toward the end of the video. Until then, I hope you enjoy the build.
