    1999 T1000 "silver anniversary restoration"

    It's not been a problem; never thrown a chain on the downshift to the 24t chainring, and no trouble upshifting to 36t (sometimes needs a little finesse to get it to reengage and then center over the 36t chainring). For a self-supported tour in western mountains I ran a Shimano LX mtn crankset...

    1999 T1000 "silver anniversary restoration"

    Yeah, dynamo-hub generators came a long way in the last 25 years -- since the time of our bikes. This comparison of drag of different systems offers the best evidence I’ve seen that the Schmidt SON28 is the most efficient (~1.5 watts of drag when switched off; 4 to 8 watts drag at 30 KPH for...

    Cannondale T2000 V-Brakes Noodle Query

    You bet. Your request is my command -- now you have a 1999 T1000 in the gallery. It underwent a "silver anniversary restoration" in 2024, so I posted a thread with detailed notes and pictures in the "Restoration" forum too. Enjoy.

    1999 T1000

    In December 1998, I purchased this 1999 T1000 for $1300 from Rhino Bike Works in Plymouth, NH. Adjusted for inflation, that’s approximately $2500 in late-2024 dollars. This is the 25" (63.5cm) frame with a 23.3" (59.2cm) effective top tube and currently weighs 29.9 lbs, including the fenders...

    1999 T1000 "silver anniversary restoration"

    Hi all. These images record an August 2024 "silver anniversary restoration" to my 1999 T1000 "forever bike," which I bought in December 1998. After 25 years' worth of Band-Aid fixes (see below), it was time for an integrated restoration from top to bottom. It started with a touring wheelset by...

    Cannondale T2000 Touring Bike

    Nice. I toured from Vancouver to San Francisco with a buddy who rode the 2000 T2000; the differences between it and my 1999 T1000 were many! Hey, what was the interference issue you posted about the travel agent brake noodle and rack? Hard to see the complication from the images.

    Cannondale T2000 V-Brakes Noodle Query

    Out of curiosity, which rack interferes? I agree with letsbike. Starting with the 1999 T1000, C’dale spec’ed the top-end touring bike with (short-pull) STI road brake levers and (long-pull) linear-pull brakes, made compatible with the Travel Agent brake noodle. Traditional low-rider pannier...
