    Cantilever brakes with road bike levers

    Apologise my English... I have that old '92 T600 which has vintage Suntour cantilever brakes combined with drop bar levers . They don't perform very well, so, I think I'll change them for new ones. A friend said that's it's technically not the best idea to have cantilever brakes and drop bar...

    1991 Cannondale SH600

    Thank you!:) In the meantime I got my own SH600 - exactly the same model/year than yours: http://community.vintagecannondale.com/showcase/cannondale-sh-600.1621/ Kind regards Christian

    POLL: to vintage or not.

    A sad story for me. I got this Trek 5500 very luckily from a man who wanted to sell a exercise bike primarily and a road bike in addition without mentioning the model name nor the brand in the ad :eek:. I had no interest in the exercise bike, so I asked him if he sells the Trek only. I paid only...

    POLL: to vintage or not.

    Hi.. I only ride vintage because I only have old bikes. Unfortunately I lost my wonderful Trek '95 OCLV 5500 road bike a few months ago — a big loss for me! :( I also have a 1988 Bridgestone MB-5 "Trailblazer which I only ride occasionally. Think old Bridgestone bikes are cool. (attached) Most...

    1992 T600 Stem

    Great! Thank you very much! Forgot to mention that it's indeed a 1" stem with 26 mm clamping, but also think about a new handlebar.

    1992 T600 Stem

    I'm searching for a special touring/road bike stem with included cable guide like shown in the pic as the T600 has cantilever brakes. It doesn't have to be exactly the same model! Any ideas where to look?

    Cannondale C800?

    I've found this on ebay.de but can't find it in any of the catalogues. Typography-wise it looks like a '96 or '97 model. Guess it's apparently rare but much to expensive though. Nevertheless will try to get one of these somewhere in the future.

    Hi there from Essen/Germany

    Being a member here for some time I never introduced myself! My name is Christian and I live in the heart of what we call "Ruhrpott" (Ruhr Area) which formerly was the biggest industrial area in Europe. Nowadays it's more green and scenic than you would expect. I've admired Cannondale bikes...

    Cannondale H700

    A very rare and clean H700 from '96 which I've picked up for my niece yesterday. It's almost in mint condition and a very nice ride.

    2x2

    For those who are interested: The bike is currently for sale in Wuppertal/Germany. It's available via eBay "Kleinanzeigen" and the seller asks 200 Euro VB. Should be possible to get it for a few Euros less as the add is from April. Found another bike I'm more interested in. Here's the link...

    Help identifying Cannondale model

    Is the mid chainring missing? The difference between small and big one is huge!

    2x2

    Does anyone know the meaning of the "2x2" decal on the frame? It's one of these for sale in my region for € 200,-. Reasonable price or too much? Condition seems to be quite good.

    Cannondale M300

    Not the most beautiful bike, but rare, so I had to take it. I'm not so happy with the dark chainrings, but those came with the bike originally. Shimano LX shifters.

    Cannondale "Killer" vs. "Delta"

    Would like to add a vintage (<1995) Cannondale Killer or Delta to my collection, but would like to know the general difference between these two models if there is any! Have seen both with headshocks.

    Cannondale SM 400

    I got this old bike for ~ 50 Euros, but this time I got something in a very sorry state (3rd pic). The previous owner did a lot goof to the bike so I had to check my parts box... I swapped the wrong V-brakes for cantilevers and removed the Zoom stem and put in a old Tange stem which is not the...

    Old Cannondale ST (?)

    Apparently my post confused some of the members here, so apologize. It's not my bike. It was for sale on ebay few months ago, but I didn't buy it.

    Red Shred ISO

    Still my favourite ride: http://community.vintagecannondale.com/showcase/1990-sm-800-red-shred.1352/ Guess that these are very hard to find, here in Germany it might be even more difficult. I got mine in mint condition a few years ago, but since I ride it frequently it looks a bit more used now.

    24" Cannondale from the 80's?

    Member sjs.666 apparently has a green '87 SM 500 with 24" wheels as well. So, I think it's one of these.
