Purchased this as a frame only in 2003. This is the bike that started VintageCannondale.com which started in 2006 from all the data that I found collecting info about this bike. I loved this bike. It was never a show bike, but rather a just ride it and enjoy. In 2013 the bike was stolen. My father in law saw somebody ridding down the street with it and stopped him. I arrived.

I purchased a 2003 Jekyll 800 in 2004. I rode this bike to death. In 2009 I blew the Ti lefty. in 2010, I cracked the 800 frame and blew the rear shock. The lefty was rebuilt in Germany by 88+, and the 800 frame was replaced with a 500 frame. Just need to finish the rebuild.

In process of a rebuild.
