I bought this bike because it needs work and the price was low enough for me. Tires are flat, rear wheel is bent enough there is a broken spoke, rear brake doesn’t work very well, front derailleur won’t downshift and chain seems loose. But everything else appears to my inexperienced eyeballs...

Tease at will @JohnnyD I freely admit I have a problem:) My wonderful Wife gives me no grief and is supportive…or is she being an enabler? I think supportive. The thing is, I’m 5+ years sober. All my hobbies end up this way. I think it is better for me and my family that it is Cannondale’s that...

Ok, I returned home with family, truck and bikes in one piece. I do NOT recommend an out and back trip with a one way distance of 368 miles. At least not with 2 kids under the age of ten and 2 dogs. Our epic journey, starting and finishing in our driveway took 15 hours and 45ish minutes. My...

Wondering if I’m crazy. Driving 360 miles to buy a R500 and R400 today. Making a family adventure out of it; kids, wife, dogs. That’s only half crazy. Full crazy is that we’re driving back home in the same day. Some may wonder why? The R500 is a 2004 and it is like new. The 2001 R400 is...

Thanks @kjop ! Seeing photos of Cannondale rides far beyond where I live is a vicarious experience. A long, long time ago in the days of my youth I travelled abroad. Far and wide. To see photos of places such as Germany, is a two dimensional journey I may never see in person. So thanks! Hope...

If I didn’t see anything that was already posted I apologize. It would be a neat reference if something was put together identifying the differences of the CAAD frames. It could be a can of worms considering both road and mountain bikes have their variations.

I don’t know about anyone else. But I sure would enjoy more photos from @kjop ! Or anyone else for that matter. Fall colors should be starting for some folks out there….

Not to derail the thread, but what determined threaded vs. non-threaded BB?

I've tried to tempt her several times by giddily showing her photos of my new find on a classified ad. She just shrugs her shoulders and lets me know she's ok with the $40 craigslist Huffy I bought her earlier this summer. Some people just have no taste....;)

Good thing it’s a 5 hour drive away. Although I’ve come up with the crazy notion of making that drive this weekend. With wife, kids and dog for a out and back in the same day. Got my eye on a 2004 R500 CAAD4, Tiagra equipped, like new, 60cm frame, for me. So I thought I’d make the trip a little...

Excellent synopsis @rickpaulos ! Thank you! I found a campground cruiser that is a good size for my wife. Priced a little high for me, but in great condition. I hadn’t even heard of this gear system until I saw the for sale ad. I needed the education. Thanks again. What would a thread be...

Does anyone know about the Dualdrive? I read enough to understand the concept and didn’t find anything here via search. I recently saw an ad for a Adventure bike so equipped. I see it in use on bike builder forums and such. But I haven’t yet come across anything negative. How is the...

Very educating @kjop ! Thank you! Now if I can only remember that when looking at Cannondale bikes for sale…;)

Gorgeous @kjop ! Thanks for sharing! I've been eyeballing a for sale ad lately. A 2004 R500. Nice ride?

Ok I looked. Couldn’t resist. Iceland green metallic with Pepperoni fork is a 1995. On your bottom bracket you’ll have a two letter code for year/month. Yours would have “F” for 1994 with a later in the year month or a “G” for 1995 with an earlier in the year month. I have two bikes that the...

Nice score!

The head post “badge” suggests 1990-1996. There is a great selection of catalog links on the home page to peruse and nail down the exact year. Value? Hard to say for sure in my opinion. Geographic location and popularity would influence value if selling local to you. I’ll take a broad guess...

That looks FANTASTIC! Bravo!

I did a search and found…nothing. I only looked for ten minutes though. You could message the folks at cannondaleexperts.com they have some hard to find parts for older bikes. Another forum with a larger audience that may yield someone with knowledge is; bikeforums.net. If Cannondale had a...

That looks nice. I wonder what size it is…… (must resist, I must)
