    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Outside diameter. Wish I would’ve taken a picture. I’m surprised as well that there isn’t a worry about vandalism. Kids can be destructive when nobody is watching. As a youngin’ I probably would’ve hopped on in. But vandalize? Nope, wasn’t raised that way. The 10% number does seem low. But...

    Factory video: how it was

    It would be neat to track that manager down. And get him to sign up here! He'd be busy answering a lot of stuff. What a great resource of knowledge that guy probably is. One of the comments down below the video made recently was...I dunno...sad to me. Something to the effect "Man, I miss...

    early mtb. No serial?

    Could've been built late 86 for the 87 model year. Both my F3 and Prophet are that way.

    early mtb. No serial?

    I know next to nothing. But I recall reading something about replacement or warranty frames lacking markings. Maybe that is it?

    Had someone send me this video. A great look at how they were once made… Assemblying the Cannondale Bicycle

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Yes the wagon is unguarded. With just a sign that says keep off. It is within the campground, alongside the access road for the museum about 100 yards further. One of the automated recordings in the museum stated 1 in 10 travelers perished along the journey. As a mechanic I marveled at the...

    Grail Bike

    I’ve been reading about the Trek saga this summer. Disheartening in my lowly opinion. The Klein story is fascinating. The one I picked up this summer is an ‘02, last year for Chehalis built bikes. Like Cannondale of “vintage” make, the welds were finished. My first trip into a Trek store this...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Not paved. Just hard packed desert that varies in width. From the dual seen here (made by campground side by sides). To some single track. If all of it is ridden, maybe 3 miles. There is a hill that is a pretty good work out for my out of shapeness. I’m out of gear by the time I reach the top...

    One more for the stable?

    I’ve seen some pretty neat photo edited pics online over the years. They’re getting better. Scary better. Or how ‘bout the old fashioned way; a gathering. Like at a campground somewhere in the US next summer? p.s. I might have a line on a XL Beast of the East. Stay tuned….

    Gravel bikes

    Interesting. I’m 6’2” with a 34 inch inseam. I think Cannondale sizing chart says I’m good for 58cm. But I wonder about that. I know on their mtb frames prior to 2010 the XL “feels” like the correct size. Reading your comment I may have to stick to a 60cm in my searching.

    Well since I can’t send a pic in a private message. Which I’d rather do since it is of a non-Cannondale bike I’ll do it here. My apologies if that is wrong.

    Private message pictures

    While attempting to send a non-Cannondale picture in a private message I discovered the picture link in the header only functions for url links. And no Attach files function below the message box. Is that normal?

    Grail Bike

    On another bike forum I asked the same question and received some positive responses. One such pointed me to a thread of facilitators. Seems there are other “collectors” out there willing to help. I’m giving it some thought. I’ve bought 7 bikes this summer already. My wife is starting to give...

    Did that bit in May and kids are back to school soon. So unless a deal I can’t pass on falls out of the sky I‘ve got to slow up on bike acquisitions…..I didn’t say I would stop looking though….

    Grail Bike

    Has anyone found their “holy grail” bike for sale but it was on the other side of the country? And you didn’t know anyone that lived near the for sale bike? But you managed to buy it anyway. How did you do it? It’s a thought that crossed my mind as I searched for a previously unknown to me...

    One more for the stable?

    If I find a Super V in blue that is XL, I’ll pounce on a good deal. I’d like a cyclocross bike but they are rare.
