Frame is nicked here and there but no dents or damage. My riding theory was that if you didn’t crash once in awhile, you weren’t riding it right.


I bought this bike new in 1991 in Germany. I have read that fewer than 20 bikes were built up like this one by Cannondale for the French market. It is only listed in the French Version of Cannondale’s 1991 Catalogue.


I have ridden many years and many off-road miles on this bike and it served me well. I have “aged out” but the bike hasn’t. Own a rare classic for only


$1000

Wow, that looks great. 18" or 16" ?

 

[BobW]

Actually

it's a 15"

I couldn't find my 1991 catalog when I replied, looked up the sizes in the 1990 assuming they were the same. Would be interesting to see how much difference there is between a 1990 16" and a 1991 15". Glad you don't have a 20 or 22, as I would be tempted.

What is the top tube length from ST to HT, center to center? And the string of numbers under the chainstay? If you would be so kind! Thanks!!

1MB was available at least in other European countries as well. I used to work as a summer helper in a LBS in Finland and they had one of these as well.
It's a lovely special edition, would be great to find one from this side of the pond...
