Crazy graphics

[letsbike]

I had to take a look when I saw this bike on a recent Facebook Marketplace add. I had never seen a Cannondale graphic like this one. As it turns out LeBron James had some kind of collaboration with Cannondale around the years 2006 & 2007 that produced these bikes. Rather interesting.

I did a little more internet digging and found that LeBron James owned a share of Cannondale in the mid 2000's. The current owner of Cannondale is Pon Holdings. This is a vintage site, so I think current Cannondale's are not what people here are interested in. However I do enjoy seeing strange, and innovative, bits from this company's past. They have been revolutionary from the very beginning, and we all enjoy that aspect.

Nice bit of history that I had never heard of. I do remember seeing that font on the down tube but didn't recall the King James on the top tube. Here's a link to the paceline thread:

Thanks for that. I'm that much smarter about the realm of Cannondale.
