Hi,
I just joined the forum, cause I just received from a cousin a very old Canondale R400 from 1994 (Shimano RSX100 fully equipped).
I am a VTT rider, but a lot of friend of mine want me to join them on the road.
Thing is, it was not used for at least 3-4 years, and it was kept outside (but rain protected) all this time...
So the first question is, is it worthy to have it renewed?
As far as I can see, the frame is still perfect, and the alu wheel as well, but of course all the rest is basically oxidized.
So I guess, a total new groupset should be adapted.
Second question is, which groupsets are adaptable for sure ?
Thanks a lot for your feedback and advice !
