It doesn't sound like a Cannondale. The Rock-a-dile was a Mongoose model, and from what I can tell, the top tube was rather triangular and the downtube was a rounded rectangle. It was similar to their cross-country racing MTBs, the IBOC series. And example of a Mongoose Rock-dile...

I'm not sure on that bike, but my 1996 has a replaceable hanger that's secured with two M3 cap screws. I'd imagine the one for sale would be the same. It's hard to tell from the low-quality photos.

Price now down to $50. It's getting harder and harder to resist buying it. I don't need another road bike though.

I saw one on Craigslist down in Texas for around $500 that looked pretty nice. Too far and too much, though, considering my current state of unemployment.

AKA "it's not enough to show up, you have to show out"? ;-)

Not a fan of the paint, the pink accents, or the splatter. Looks like an expensive rebuild, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/tulsa-cannondale-road-bike/963bZZfo8hextCKofs9vwk Poster says "broken frame at the derailleur". Looks to me like the replaceable hanger sheared off. Older, smallish Cannondale. 105 rear derailleur and downtube shifters. Aero bars and Look-style clipless pedals...

Oh, man! Good-looking bike. I've been toying with the idea of a cyclocross bike. I probably should just get a cheap older MTB for noodling around the neighborhood and such. The R600 is still on the trainer, still getting used 4-5 times a week. Getting stronger is a slow process....

Looking on eBay, most of the aluminum-era Super Vs I see are asking much lower prices, but not all. I saw a few for over $1,000, but most are well under that. The carbon-fiber Ravens are still fetching high prices ($1,100 and up). I don't know why, but somehow the fact that the seller took a...

Two on Craigslist here in Tulsa. Newer ad is for a 1986 ST-500, 23", $235: https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/broken-arrow-st-500-cannondale-touring/9rHqv5rCXXVJ2V4XgJvKYm Also, a 1986 SR1000, not a Black Lightning, but a Black Lightning frame with Dura-Ace components, 54cm, $400, no pictures...

Oh, I told the guy at the local bike shop about my steal of a deal, and he had to show off their new acquisition - two of the Park PRS-30 Mechanical Lift repair stands. They have been dealing with more e-bikes, so they needed heavy-duty hardware. The PRS-30 has a capacity of up to 120 lbs, and...

I did discover one thing - the seller didn't have a lot of patience. I downloaded the user's manual for the PCS-10, and discovered that the plastic leg clip was put on at the top of the stand, rather than at the bottom where it should be. I had to take the clamp off to swap it around. It folds...

Geez, where are people getting these long legs? I feel cheated - when I bought my first "bike shop" bike, a Trek 400, the shop guy measured me with his FitKit and said I had the torso length of a guy 6' 2" and the leg length of someone 5' 8".

Ah, okay. I thought it might be close to you, Johnny. It's about four hours drive for me, so not really worth it. The search for a "putter around the neighborhhood" bike continues....

Looks to be a 1996 F700 in Speed Yellow with a Headshok from a different model (Mango in color). It actually looks okay that way, IMO. The 1996 did come with Headshok, so it's period-correct. https://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/bik/d/henrietta-mid-1990s-cannondale-caad3/7930937628.html
