Absolutely stunning!

Finding a previously installed Helicoil the hard way. How about you?

Out and about today. It’s Spring! Time to get out and ride!

Welcome neighbor!

Bought the Garmin Edge 540 with the bundle; speed & cadence senors, HRM-Dual heart rate monitor. I rode with it all yesterday. It took me a bit of fumbling to set it all up. I still have to tweak the main screen setup. The HRM worked as advertised. I’d say the old formula of 200-age is...

Wow!

I just got one! And I'm learnin' myself how to set it up. I shall give a report in the next few days. I don't remember what my max heart rate was 30+ years ago. I never gave it much of a thought. Even when my coach was having us runners find out what it was. I ran on perceived effort. Not...

My tentative sales pitch to Mrs.Idaho; “This would be a great bike for us! We can be riding together more. And we’ll look like a great couple at the campgrounds this summer!” ;)

I’ve never looked for chains and cables for a tandem but I also don’t recall any for sale. This one is probably like a lot of tandems I’ve seen for sale. Low mileage. Would only need tires ‘n tubes and hub service. That drag brake on the rear wheel is interesting. I don’t recall that component...

Normally I wouldn’t give a tandem much thought while looking at classifieds. Because they’re usually very highly priced. This one isn’t terrible at $400. And I believe it’s big enough at 22” for the ”stoker”. Very nice shape for a 1995. I like the color. Pretty cool huh? MT1000

The “LB“ on your BB is in a different spot than indicated for year on the serial number page. But it matches: L=2000, B=February. I’m not an expert decoder but I’m 99% sure you’re correct on the 56 on the BB being 56cm. Nice bike!

Blue is my favorite color. So I vote blue. For black decals it would have to be on the lighter side of blue to show up well. A metallic light blue would be neat. I don’t know how to paint but I think I’ve read that painting a metallic is difficult.

Looking through the 97-99 catalogs; The black one looks to be a CAD2 R200 The blue one also appears to be CAD2 logo in the photo. The top tube cable guides are in a different position compared to the black one. I can’t find a catalog picture that matches a particular model. Yet.

Nice find! I’m kinda burnt out on builds. But when I see these photos I can envision in my mind how each of those frames would look once complete. And you’re right, that group set would be a great buy. I wonder if a fork could be found on ebay for that blue frame? I wonder if either the blue...

Yes, really Jon. It read, to me at least, that you were knocking on Deaths’ door. The inspiration is that it seems you’re not going out of this world without a fight. I don’t have any diagnosed health issues. But I am 56. Statistically I’m past the halfway point of being alive on Earth. I...

I think I am a poor judge of value but I would have to say being a 700 series your bike is going to be a more desirable model due to higher end components for the time period. And it does look to be in fantastic condition. Your location and the popularity of mt. bikes around you would influence...

Very inspirational paragraph! @Jon K. In a time long past I was physically active. I was in a decade long section of life of poor physical fitness when I got into cycling two years ago this coming summer. I’ve lost 45 lbs.(20kg’s) and feel so much better. I hope to stay in the saddle riding my...

In all seriousness though; I vote touring bike. With bags. Maybe not all, but at least a rear rack with an insulated bag for cold beverages.

Oh yes! You have lots of space for more Cannondale's. All you really need is enough room for a bike stand for maintenance. And maybe a small workbench. At most that is about 25 sq. ft. Fill 'er up! As far as road or touring bike? Get both. You won't be satisfied otherwise ;)

My first ride in 5 weeks around the neighborhood. Finally tested the last of my 105 “upgrades” I did over the winter. The shifting on the rear is really amazing. So smooth. Mostly. Had a couple of shifts to larger rear cogs where the first swipe on the brifter was met with a dead shift. A quick...
