My third Cannondale. Bought this Beast about 6 months ago. Trued wheels and replaced wheel bearings and chain. New tires and tubes. I took it out for the first time yesterday in the snow. It was amazing! Easy to get the front wheel up, climbs like mad even on snow covered leaves! I quickly became used to the high bottom bracket, and the geometry and reach are perfect. I'm 6 ft tall, so the saddle looks odd elevated to that height, but it really works just great. I think a dropper...

\"The Hare\" is a 1990 SR300 that I purchased new from Scott's Cyclery in Willimantic, CT, in 1992 for $399.00, discounted from the original price of $449.00. The SR300 has the 3.0 aluminum frame and it's major components like derailleurs, crank, and brakes are from Suntour's Blaze group. My thought when I bought it was that I would eventually upgrade the components and I may still. It's never shifted badly but it's never shifted nicely either. (I had a bike with the Shimano 105 group once...
The only known example of this Cannondale.
The serial information tags with the post below.
The two bikes compare.
Notice the lack of frame information on my bike.
Notice the upgraded components on my bike.
This bike referenced below with its letter at the bottom of his post goes along with my bikes serial information. My bike was probably completed in early 1998 as the first Super V 2000 SL Free Ride or shortly there after. My components are higher quality. The owner of my bike...
i start biking in 1990 and i always love the cannondale hardtails (M,T,H models) from this era. i became this frame for 20€ with no paint (original was yellow) so i polished a little bit. most work was to change the 1 1/8 steerer P-Bone into 1inch. the frame is 20inch and to tall for me (1,70m) so i like the idea of an city+offroad bike. the bar shortened the toptube and now it is a 4speed cruiser ;) all parts are old or for free. costs of the bike around 100€ included chris king headset...
Maybe somody can tell me something about the bike. i bought it some years ago with comlete shimano 600 and a tri-bar.
My dad got this bike from our neighbor years ago for little to nothing. He passed it down to me a few years ago and I absolutely love it! Put new cables, slicks and a Brooks B17 saddle on her and she rides like a dream! Everything else is completely stock. I have yet to see another with matching blue handlebars. This bike has sadly been temporarily retired. SN:8030487098. Thanks for looking!
The 90s hardtails are my alltime favorite dreambikes for racing. I found it as you can see at the last picture and built up a fast singlespeed bike with a clean look.
I am riding a Cannondale from 1991 that came to be able to buy the bike myself.
(This MTB is under remodeling to the touring bicycle.)
This long tail bike I'm riding everyday for several years, previously, I was using the M500 2005 year made.
I thought long tail bike is close to Japanese traditional porter bicycles .
if so, the Mixte frame is look good in the long tail bike.
(Cannondale mixte frames are rare in Japan.)
And looking for a Mixte frame from it, finally, found the frame, it...
