Yup! Takes MONTHS to get in shape and a week to lose it! Lol Kudos to you on a long and difficult tour. Ever think of doing it again? I came across a letter I wrote to my wife and kids one summer. I was riding from California to the Grand Canyon on a weeks' vacation with some friends on their...

Wow and hauling a cart for supplies. Tough sledding. Never thought of hauling a cart. My minset was as little weight as possible because of the coast mountain climbs. Who did you ride with and what was your route? How many weeks/months? We loved to box the bike and take an Amtrak train to SF...

It’s an XTR. the chainring side works normally.

Interesting! Thanks. I'll re measure and post my findings. Also want to post some better pictures after I clean it up. Whoever owned it before me took VERY GOOD care of it.

HELLO! I've had two Cannondale road bikes previously, but never a C tandem. Both previous tandems were Santanas. In fact, my first one (Arriva) still hangs in my best friends living room one block away. Loved leading those downhills pacelines in several double century races. The difficulty laid...

Smiling! Those days are LONG GONE!!! Interestingly, at least to me... After looking at my old race book/articles/pins/patches, etc, I pulled up the online RAAM Stats from 19991 and found all my information, for both years 90/91. I actually DNF in 1990. It was WAY TO DIFFICULT, I thought...

You've also achieved some noteworthy accomplishments! I was addicted to cycling long distance events. I have dozens of double and triple races completed also and the one Quad. I commuted from my home in Victorville to my job in San Bernardino, over Cajon pass for years 3,000ft up to 4,000ft...

Just read your post and wanted to respond timely before Pickleball. I rode a carbon fiber Trek for my main bike and had a Kestral 4000 as a backup but never used it. And I actually rode with Penseyres and Haldeman once. It was a Century called "The Riverside Breakaway". All flat. I finished in...

I’ve had some dangerous experiences on road bikes through the years so I moved to mountain bikes until recently. I came across the Cannondale and decided I’d get back on the road. It’s a 1997 RT 3000 in great shape. One thing hasn’t changed. I still hate the wind. lol.

Furnace Creek 508 was an ultramarathon bicycle race that took place annually each October between 1989 and 2013 in Southern California. Its route started in Santa Clarita (25 miles north of Los Angeles), went northeast to Towne Pass and dropped into Death Valley, traversed Death Valley in the...

Ive never worn this jersey.

Perfect size for us! and yes almost 500 miles over 6 days. Nothing like your 5,300 ride!!! That's impressive! We followed the coast all the way down to Santa Monica, where we turned inland! Camped along the way. I also rode from the San Fran to LA civic Center in a weekend race called "The...

Thanks for all the information! Another question, back then, did they still measure frame sizes from the center of the crank bolt to the top of the top tube, just in front of where the top tube meets to seat tube? I get a 22/20" measurement. Or is it to the very TOP of the seat tube? Inquiring...

Looks like I have a 1997 built in August. Not sure the other numbers really mean much. FYI, I paid $650 for it. Its in GREAT shape and everything works perfectly. Thanks so much for your guidance. If you know/find more please send it my direction. I’ve really enjoyed the journey so far. I’ve...

lol. I missed ANOTHER ONE! lol. Posting drivetrain pictures now. Sheesh. Looks like they used a hammer and chisel to stamp these numbers. We’ve come a long way some then. It’s an ”I” or a “1”, prolly an “I”, my guess.

Will do when I get back home. Thank.
