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...

20 inch wheel Cannondale. I think this is a Quick 20. The serial number is similar to many Chinese bikes so I guess it's made there. Nice little bike in good shape. perhaps some Cannondale fan has a youngster. located in Cedar Rapids Iowa. $240 shipped to the 48 states.

Thanks. Is the F5 considered a Caffiene model?

yes on the front der. It has a plastic under the bb cable guide with some cable wear but there are no marks on the frame from a clamp on derailleur. 26" wheel on it. I don't think there is room for a 29er. And 27.5 were out then? XL sticker on the frame so that appears to match up with the...

Trying to identify the model and year for this partial bike. The FSA crank is broken/jambed. works in 1:1 ratio when you pull the shift cable. Won't budge when the cable is slack. disc brakes front and rear. non-cannondale Rock Shox Dart 2 shock fork sun Black Eye rims (the rear wheel...

I won't be where the bike is til saturday. I'll take more photos then.

I won't be able to measure until next saturday. Judging from the concrete blocks in the wall... The geometry chart on page 30 in the 91 catalog list 91.44 cm standover. 36.00 inches. yeah that big sticker on the top tube sure looks out of place. Like an automotive bumper sticker. I looked...

$300 plus shipping and fees. Local pickup welcome in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The paint is black with factory applied faint white squiggly lines all over it. Makes it look beat up which it isn't. Seat bag was moldy and discarded. I didn't measure the frame. the serial number is under the chain...

that's what I think it is. no hoops included. In excellent condition. Looks to be unused. A couple of slight grease smudges from shop handling. Made in USA. Has velcro tabs with reflectors for mounting. 2 good zippers. Clear vinyl windows. many more photos here...

This past by my way about 6 years ago. You may notice the shock was replaced with a bit of pipe effectively turning it into a hard tail. I installed a proper shock. I must say I hated the ride. The bike had a tendency for the rear wheel to lift up off the ground when cornering hard. I later...

SOLD Thanks.

Cannonale F500 model year 1999 Mean Green size is medium. It would fit someone about 5'5" - 5'8". Many more photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rickpaulos/albums/72157712221583481 Selling because it is too small for me, I have way to many bikes. Had fun riding it this winter and I'm...

Here is an example of Tektro mini V brakes with a cable pull multiplier (Travel Agent) on a tandem with Ultegra 9 speed sti levers.

I put those levers on a Klein I rebuilt a couple years ago. They worked well on that vintage aluminum frame with it's 7 speed spacing. Those levers were a welcomed step backwards from Shimano. The STI levers came out when Shimano was at the 8 speed and kept going from there. It took a couple...

yeah, fresh brake pads will certainly help. 28 years on original pads is plenty of time for them to dry out and harden and lose grip. new pads would be a low cost repair item. There are some new high-tec compounds too. Kool Stop makes some that have a lot more grip and some have 2 or 3...

Thanks.
