Okay, It depends on the operating system.

How about adding an avatar to the Cannondale forums too? Here is a shot of my forums folder bookmarks. Some nice looking icons in there but some are just the generic browser icon.

It needs tires. Humm..

"With Short Wheelbase"? they call 43.1" short? I may try to reglue the seat covering back on.

As a pop quiz, I'm testing my lessons here on decoding the serial number 20041288094 20 inch frame (inches means mtb frame) 04 April 12 12th 88 1988 094 number made that day Needs tires and lock removed. Bar ends are rusty steel from some bso. edit: SM500 in blueberry. And I got the...

Those are some really unique levers. I've been in bikes my whole life and I can say I've never seen them before. Many aluminum levers are anodized or polished. My local coop has a guy who polishes steel and aluminum to a mirror finish that usually looks great. is that a knob on the front of...

I have repainted or touched up dozens of bikes ( and my car hood). Color matters a lot and black is without a doubt the easiest color to work with. I've touched up several black bikes. I typically use Rustolem enamel in the 1/2 pint cans and a brush and 800 grit wet with a block for touch...

question on the serial. metric or english? This sites page on serial numbers uses frame sizes in cm. this one looks like it's in inches. 21102987137 21 inch? October 29 1987 date? #137. ST400 model?

Donation at the local coop. This came in just days before the Derecho ripped the roof off the building. Guess I forgot about posting here. Or maybe I did and forgot that too. Still there for sale. updated: yes. I did post this before. 66 cm! 1991. Black with the squiggles. SR600...

Recently got a nice pair of tandem wheels donated to the local coop. The owner said they were off his Cannondale tandem. A racer and weight weenie who replace them with something "lighter". Sure. Anyhow I'm trying to confirm if they are oem cannondale wheels or not. 1110 grams front, 1760...

62cm May 06 1991? Seems to be missing a leading zero on the month. Had a Schwinn Varsity front wheel.. replaced with a light road wheel. The seat post bolt was buggered. I think the hex socket was stripped out and partially drilled out. Stuck "open" not tight enough to hold the seat post so...

https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/bik/d/yucaipa-vintage-bike/7263615423.html has some issue with the shift lever. otherwise very clean. not mine.

great to see the forum is working again. thanks for sorting it out. rick

I found this today. The designers website admits the sintered gears delaminate, but hey, buy more of the same from us. Thumbs down for FSA.

After staring at the photos some more, I think 3 of the 4 plantetary gears flaked off the top 3mm of material. You can see 2 of the planet gears and the one on the left has a rough top surface were it broke off. My guess is the gears were sintered or cast.

After taking the broken bits out, the crank seems to be okay. I just think the broken bits didn't belong. I've asked FSA about it but they don't know. I sent them the photos and they are asking around. The 4 planet gears have 24 teeth each. I counted about 70ish broken gear teeth. The way...

I took the Metropolis crank off and apart. No wonder it was jammed. There were bits of about 3 stray thin gears in there broken up and jammed into the teeth of the other gears. Looking at Arron's Bicycle Repair photos and some youtube vids, my conclusion is they don't belong. Unless there was...

I striped the bike down today. I can see bits of broken gears inside the Metropolis crank. We'll see if I can find parts but I have to dismantle it for a better look. And it has 165mm arms. The frameset is not all that light. Promax disc calipers? I see those on walmart bikes. This must...
