Nice Fall day for a ride. I finally have both of my favorite road bikes set up to swap the Garmin Edge and rear radar/light between them. This bike has the tougher Gator Hardshell tires installed for the tire piercing goat heads that seem to find their way to the pavement this time of year.

I like the idea. Not a ton of videos with vintage Cannondale’s. I don’t know how to make a video so I’m easily impressed. Maybe add some colorful pop up graphics that list the year and model at the beginning of each bike. Just an idea. Good luck!

I think the silver crank arms with black rings looks just dandy!

I haven’t had the opportunity to ride one of these cyclocross frames. So I’ve wondered how sizing compares to a road bike frame. Is it a direct comparison? I have read the sizing charts and I’m unable to determine if it is. I’m comfortable on a 60 cm road bike but looking at the numbers a 58 cm...

“Finished”

From experience that is a difficult model to find. I was unsuccessful in my previous search. I wish you luck.

Never heard back from the seller. I’m not on FB so Mrs. Idaho has been the message sender. We’ll try one more time to set up a meet.

This project hasn’t been idle. I learned a thing or two while doing two 1X conversions. The main discovery is a perfect chainline is not possible. I wouldn’t do it again after learning a thing or two. I’ve come up with an acceptable chainline and chain performance. Using 2mm spacers between the...

A time to meet was agreed to, but no contact since. I don’t want to pass on it if it turns out to be in great shape. But between my BOTE project and the two bikes for my kiddos my fun money budget is kind of stretched thin. I do have an empty bicycle shipping box on hand………

I thought about hunting down a nice Deore LX crankset but the Sugino one has grown on me to the point that I rather like it.

I’m hesitant about posting because the pictures aren’t that good. But this one showed up a few days ago on my local FB marketplace. My guess is a 20” frame. The seller’s asking price is $400. Too high in my opinion. I’m supposed to go look at it today. I’d say that a Beast of the East is rarely...

Glamour picture. I upgraded to an 8 speed rear on a set of Ritchey Vantage Comps. New to me stoppers are Deore LX. Those mods necessitated new to me Deore LX levers. New rubber too.

I wouldn’t call it stupid. But then again we are all kindred spirits here. I’d say that a frame like yours is deserved of such componentry.

A very nice looking tropic green T1000. The top tube cable guides are all broken off though. No bar end shifters. And the original brakes were Magura hydraulic. It’s probably a good thing those are gone considering the age of the bike. The seller states it’s a 24 inch frame. But according to...

I too like that paint/decal scheme. I’ve not seen one priced at a level where I would consider one either.
