It's not a Silk Road. Does it have 26" wheels?

It's not a problem with rubber grips but I guess that it might be possible for water to get through the foam. My guess is that there is a solid base film that water won't be able to penetrate.

I usually use a bit of glass cleaner to ease rubber grips onto flat bars. You don't need to soak the bar, just a light mist. Guessing it would help with foam as well.

I checked the only two 28s that were handy, a Continent Ultra Gatorskin and a Continental Super Sport 100. Both are older German made models but both had plenty of clearance on the front. Caliper is the original Shimano 600 (6207) and both rims were within .5mm of the Wolber rim width. I have...

Thanks. The last complete bike I bought came to me from OH and cost $100 to ship. Folks say that ShipBike is currently the cheapest bike shipper but I haven't used them.

I wish that were close to me. Fair price and I don't have a CAAD8.

Not sure that's a 2020 model, I don't see any pink on the frame in the catalog but it could be a feminine model. You can buy a new Quick 6 for $650, but the current bike has Microshift components instead of Shimano which may not be a bad thing...

Looks like a great bike to me. The only thing I might change would be to put bigger tires on it. They came with 28 mm tires but I'm not sure if bigger will fit. The later Synapse SE models came with 30 mm tires and the 2018 catalog says that 32 mm tires will fit, but I don't know if the...

It must be a 1FG (fixed gear) with the eccentric bottom bracket. Someone added the derailleur hanger and the cable guides on the down tube to convert it to a geared bike. I don't know what the numbers in the dropout indicate. I can't remember a 1FG that was painted white, but they may have...

I wouldn't have either. Nor would have I thought it possible to bend the housing around and get it under the tape while remaining decent looking. It's great to be able to see what folks have tried without taking the time to do it on our own.

I'd say that you won't hurt the value of the frame by a repaint as long as it's going to be something you ride and enjoy. I wouldn't attempt to pay for a repaint and period correct build if you intend to resell it. Could make a perfectly fine rider but my take would be to build it up to your...

That looks as if someone welded in a mount for a kickstand. Definitely doesn't look to be Cannondale weld/finish quality. I don't know much about the urban models but those cable guides don't look right either.

I've had a bunch of nice road bikes that weighed 22-23 lbs. 25.5 for a 1992 MTB sounds lightweight to me.

That looks as if someone welded in a mount for a kickstand. Definitely doesn't look to be Cannondale weld/finish quality. I don't know much about the urban models but those cable guides don't look right either. There is a rectangular outline in the paint that is probably remnants of the...

Street was still a model in 2005. The loops on the seat stays were gone, but there was no Headshok model that year. Still looking.

I should weigh my '92 DV900 and see how it compares. Headshok adds a bit of weight compared to a rigid bike but not a lot. Build is the biggest contributor to weight of bike builds, assuming a decent quality frameset.

Could be but it seems unlikely for someone to have bothered to come up with the Street decal for the top tube. I couldn't begin to tell you how many anomalies of a similar nature have shown up here. It's especially common for them to show up in Europe and the UK for some reason. Did you...

O = 2003, P = 2004, Q = 2005, R = 2006, etc. in both directions from 2002 to at least 2011.

It should have a bar code sticker on the underside of the bottom bracket shell. It will have an alpha/numeric series - the first letter is the year of manufacture.

I've forgotten the year of your bike, but 25 lbs. was pretty light for a MTB in 1995. Do you have some of those 3/16" thick tubes for thorn protection? I have a bunch of them on hand, can't remember the brand but they must weigh close to a pound each. I have only used one - can't remember...
