Just did some servicing on a 2000 Cannondale MT-2000 tandem. I was looking in the 2000 catalog and it lists these forks: MT-4000 fork: Headshok MOTO FR Tandem MT-2000 fork: Headshok MOTO FR I'm wondering if that's a typo. I've also see V1000's with the Headshok MOTO FR fork. Are there 2...

listing price went up to $1000.

"1996 Cannondale 20 inch BMX with 24 inch rims." Not sure what that means. And I'm not familiar with any BMX bikes from Cannondale. The listing price is $800 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/767533749449757/

Thanks JohnnyD, I searched ebay for cannondale jersies. Wow, never realized they had so many designs. Race team jersies from road and mtb teams usually with team co-sponsors like Saeco, Volvo, Crest. Plain colors, some with patterns. Drinks, bud light, sobe, etc.

could be worse, that chain in the background... The trailer looks home made. Aluminum angle iron and regular 26" wheels. Most trailers use 24, 20 or 16" wheels. And it is rather narrow. Was there ever a Bud Light Cannondale? I've seen the Crest tooth paste edition.

looks like San Francisco / Bay Area photo taken maybe 20 to 30 years ago.

Post a photo of the underside of the bb where a serial might have been. Some brands put their serial numbers in other locations like on the head tube, dropouts, stays, seat tube, etc. I have a Huffy Red Rock with the same seat stay brake bridge. The bb stay bridge is rather unique. Bot the...

You might consider a "Pulse Oximeter". This is a small electronic device that clips on the finger that reports your pulse and your blood oxygen saturation level. They run about $40. Note they make kid size too so don't get that by mistake if you have big fingers. Oxygen in the blood is...

Me and some neighbor kids were riding around and one got too close to a car like this and that long chrome spear point bit of trim that was hanging a bit loose skewered his thigh. Right through it... I guess it missed everything important. Didn't seem to have any permanent effects.

Looooong ago, my dad put sting ray bars and a banana seat on the Schwinn Skipper I got handed down from my big sister. One day I was riding no handed down a big hill and it started wobbling hard and I crashed. owie. A couple days later the cast steel Schwinn stem just broke off as I was riding...

Fresh donation to the local bike coop today.

JE build (1998, May). But it matches the 1999 catalog specs. Smaller black F500 decal, no welded on rear rack tabs, Weinman rims. The front wheel is a Ritchey so not original. The rear of the bike was left under a water source. Chain rusted solid. Rear brake arms seized. Derailleurs stuck...

FYI, Tektro makes a dropped bar brake lever that is v-brake compatible. I have a pair on my touring bike. I have bar-end shifters to go with it. I change the brakes from canti to v-brakes on my bikes. IMO vbrakes are easier to adjust and work very well. they also don't stick out as much and...

In searching for info I found this sticker on my Cannondale. Turns out it is a European Standard number akin to a government stamp of safety measures met. https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/cen/95a762c0-f44d-4a4e-ad31-21c1712c698d/en-14764-2005 I suppose the label is the equivalent...
