    Threadless stem adaptor/conversion - opinions?

    Well, after the crash, I'm going to have to have the LBS assess the bike before I invest money in the innicycle conversion (or anything else). To my unpracticed eye, the frame and folk look okay, but both brakes were rubbing, the left brifter was all knocked askew, and the stem extension and...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    No, luckily I was closer. I guess it was only a mile or so home from where I dumped the bike. I wish I could make a custom map to show the route, but that involves a lot of work. North of 129th Street, there's a business complex-like thing where businesses can rent space - exercise, auto...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Oh, boy. When I said I'd get some pictures of my ride along Fry Ditch Trail, I didn't think it would end like it did. I was out for about an hour and 15 minutes, riding fairly slowly and stopping to take pictures. 14.3 miles in, I camer around a descending turn on the trail and a runner popped...

    Threadless stem adaptor/conversion - opinions?

    It's more a worry about the stability of the adapter than the sizing of the bike. I'm all weirdly-proportioned (very long torso, very short legs - 5' 10"/1.78m tall, but only a 30"/76.2cm inseam), so when I got the 'dale, the shop owner suggested a 56cm with a 120mm stem extension. At that time...

    Threadless stem adaptor/conversion - opinions?

    Hi! Bike fitter I went to last year suggested a few things to improve my bike fit. Some things he did, like adjusting my saddle down and forward a bit. He also made some suggestions for things that could be improved. Since I'm an older guy and not so flexible now, he thinks I should be sitting...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Now that the weather's sort of improved here (can never escape the wind in OOO-oklahoma), I've finally gotten the R600 outside. Mostly along the local paved cycling/walking trail near the house, so not as scenic as the Oregon Trail or the Lippetal, but it feels good to be outside. I'll try to...

    Finding the Right Red

    Hence why I didn't try to do a complete restore on my 1996 R600. That Team Timex purple-to-black fade would be a bear to reproduce. Possible, but a pro would have to do it and it would be hideously expensive (based on my experience getting a car painted).

    Cannondale Road Bike, Craigslist Tulsa

    https://tulsa.craigslist.org/bik/7536669197.html The post says it's a 1998 bike, but it's got the 2000+-style headtube decal. A little research tells me that it's a 2000 R1000 in the "USA Fade" paint scheme. The bike does have some changes - at the least, the headset's a Cane Creek, not the OEM...

    F1000 - Craigslist Tulsa

    Another Cannondale on Craigslist Tulsa

    https://tulsa.craigslist.org/bik/d/catoosa-cannondale/7530000991.html Another Cannondale MTB, this one more recent than the F1000. I can't see well enough to tell what model it is; kinda looks like M400 or something. $400 seems a bit high for what would be a mid-line bike, especially a...

    F1000 - Craigslist Tulsa

    Just spotted this on Craigslist here in Tulsa - Mid-90s F1000, size small, package includes original wheelset, an extra stem, and bar ends. https://tulsa.craigslist.org/bik/d/tulsa-cannondale-f1000-mtb/7525354410.html Seems to be a resonable deal, barring any terrible secrets.

    R600 Revisited

    I did decide to go with SPD pedals and shoes for the walkability. I picked up a well-worn, well-used set of Shimano PD-M520s locally for a song (and the seller even threw in two water bottle cages), and found a little-worn pair of RT32 Shimano touring shoes in my size on eBay. Installed the...

    R600 Revisited

    Well, I looked more closely at the fork, and it might well be composite. I can't see any joins at the dropouts, but there is a visible/tactile groove/line just below the crown on the fork legs. I don't know if they would glue an AL fork, since they weld other tubes, so I'm thinking that the...

    R600 Revisited

    I'm sure the dealer had to order it - it was a small-town shop, so not huge amounts of inventory. I tapped on the fork arms gently with a screwdriver, and they don't have a "ting" sound like you'd think an alloy/steel fork would have (at least, it doesn't sound like the frame tubes do when...

    R600 Revisited

    I finally got the R600(?) off to the bike shop for a tuneup. The chain measured out bad, so that's getting replaced, brake and shifter cables and refurbed shifters installed, wheels trued and bar tape installed. The mechanic said it should be done on Wednesday. I think I might have come up with...

    R600 Revisited

    No R600 decal at all. I do find that strange, but maybe as you say it changed year-to-year. Or maybe it wasn't really an R600 frame, just painted to look like one. I don't think that's the case, because it does have the 2.8 Aluminum decal on the top tube, and I think the R300 and R400 were 3.0...

    1996 R600 on the road to rebirth

    1996 R600 which I bought as a frame and fork in a deal that Cannondale was running that year - trade in your old frame and Cannondale would sell you a road or mountain bike frame for $50. I traded in my Trek 400 frame for a road frame, and it turned out to be the R600 frame in Ultra Violet to...

    R600 Revisited

    Hi! Jon here. Came on to see if I could figure out what Cannondale I have, and decided to join up. At current, I live in the Tulsa, OK area. I lived in North Carolina for many years, but moved to OK when offered a job out here in 2006. My Cannondale, like much of what I have or do, has a...
