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

I'd been looking for a repair stand for a while - not seriously, but keeping an eye out on Craigslist and so on. There was a very cheap no-name one on Craigslist not too far from here, but I didn't feel like driving the 45 minutes or so to get to the seller. Then, lo and behold, someone posted...

Well, now, there is *this one* on Craigslist Tulsa: https://tulsa.craigslist.org/bik/d/tulsa-cannondale-super-six-like-new-and/7929838300.html

Doesn't matter anyway. Looked again the other day and the post was gone, so I assume somene else couldn't resist that price. I'm not broken up about it. ;-)

Posted on Craigslist here in Tulsa area. For $40, I'm tempted to pick it up for a future project. https://tulsa.craigslist.org/bop/d/vera-cannondale-m500-parts-bike/7929847473.html

I could have sworn I posted this a couple of weeks ago, but maybe I spaced out and didn't.... Ah well.

Love the Serottas!

Latest, plus a picture. I pushed a bit much week before last - five sessions, three of one hour 15 minutes, one of 30 minutes and one of 45 minutes (the last two on Saturday), in mostly 39x14. I felt really bad after that, backed it down to 45 minutes on the Monday and Tuesday of the next week...

I get this. Preying upon the unwary/unaware is not good at all.

No surprise. There are two very vintage (early 90s) Cannondales for sale on Tulsa Craigslist that have been there for months, with unreasonable prices. Ain't nobody gonna pay $1,000 for an early R900 or $1,500 for a Super V (no matter that it's allegedly only been ridden 20 miles since the...

Update: Finally worked up to one hour, ten minutes on the trainer. Felt okay on Monday, but Tuesday was torture. I felt an ache in my right hamstring just above the knee, but it never got worse. Rest day yesterday, tried to make sure I was hydrating. I felt okay, but didn't sleep well last...
