This is either a 1992 or 1993 Cannondale Police bike. Purpose built for Police use. Used STX drive train and Coda components. Grip shifters and bar ends stock. Cannondale rear rack also part of Police specs. Faster than it looks!
I am riding a Cannondale from 1991 that came to be able to buy the bike myself.

After years of owning all kinds of bikes, as an old guy nearing 70, I was looking for a go-to, all around bike for fitness rides and runs to town. The Bad Boy is a perfect fit!
