    Is this a nice f300 and what year do you think?

    The 97 catalog specs reads Rock Shox Quadra 5 black fork. I can't make out the decal well enough to tell what the fork is but is sure doesn't look like a Rock Shox. I see there are some spacers under the frame, perhaps to change head angle or overall height or they just didn't know how to...

    Limited Edition Cannondale

    Quite exotic. I went to England about 15 years ago and the Cannondale's for sale at Herods were about 3x the USA price, along with all the other bikes in London. But still... Too big for me.

    I sold this bike this winter. The buyer had it powder coated in a 2 tone green metal fade. Stopped by to day to show it off. Looks very nice in person. New wheels. STI levers.

    Cannondale Quick

    XL frame decal. So here is the 2009 catalog geometry chart. With a sloping top tube I suppose you measure the standover mid-top tube. The bike is in storage for the time being. I'll try to get some closeups of the fork and measure it next time. Broken spoke in the rear wheel and the rim is...

    Cannondale Vintage F900 1997

    For the short term, mountain bike bar ends can be installed on mountain bike bar ends. There are a variety of shapes from straight to curved. Most are the same size as handlebars so they can be 'stacked' to get you more upright. The possible positions are nearly endless. The main down side is...

    fresh find: 2 early mtbs Cannondale SM800

    1989 SM800 based on the components. There is no model number on them. The bikes look to be moslty stock. One top tube clip missing, a big scratch right there from the brake lever getting dragged across. Both need a good cleaning and some touch up on the paint. The sludge on the bb area is...

    Vintage 1997 Canondale F900 parts requested

    USA made Cannondales are aluminum. That's what made them famous. Not the first company to use aluminum but the first to go big. They used modern large scale manufacturing techniques like laser mitering. Frames were welded, then bolted to jigs for heat treatment to relieve the stresses in the...

    Vintage 1997 Canondale F900 parts requested

    Accident damage. Have the frame checked for alignment before replacing parts. Aluminum isn't something you can straighten out. A bent aluminum frame would total the bike. Damage to a head shock fork is a total as well. Next look up the catalog for that model year to get the oem specs. None...

    More recent Cannondale Synapse

    updates After the around the block test ride where things seemed okay, I relocated the bike from my van (hot interior) to the cool basement. The next day I headed out for a long ride but the crank was klunking so I only got to the corner and returned. After a long battle, I got the crank out...

    More recent Cannondale Synapse

    I took it for a short spin around the block with 2 hills to check for creaking. None noticed with running shoes on. But the shifters got stuck in the big ring - big cog gear. So a cleaning and lube and they work like new again. Rerouted the cables so they don't rub on the side of the head...

    Fresh find that I want to pass on. repaint with some yellow safety paint. The serial is hard to read. looks like 60080888107 60 cm, august 8 1988 sequence 107. I sanded some of the paint off but that didn't make it any more readable. repainted and reassembled by a newb. Missing seat, seat...
