Well after much searching in Oz, I finally found the second generation Raven I wanted. Yes It does have the Cannondale recall syringe hole BB and bonded elevated rear swingarm nobody wanted but this was the appeal for me. I sort of gave up on my search and had been playing around with trucks...

She would look good in white. I have a Pearl white 97 Super V active with a polished swing arm.

Most B of the E had roller cam brakes, 13in BB height and high head tubes.

Very nice frameset. I was told the correct measured frame size as being from centre of BB bracket to where a level top tube would intersect the seat tube. Sloping top tubes really confuse the measuring process. Nice handle rubrduk, do you own a big black MACK with a can on the back. ?

Yes I came to the same conclusion a 94 V1000 with a polished swingarm. My own bought new in 95, V700 started out with a straight blade tapered chromoly front folk. Don't know why but these folks came with threaded eyelets in the sides of the blade and lower threaded tangs. It allowed me to fit...

Well, apart form dropbears.

Still riding the same Super V I raced some 25 years ago both cross country mountain and time trials. Time trials is a better class of racing you not likely to get seriously injured doing. In different area of the country the Australian Time Trial Association held events based on distances of...

It's very much like these new "Chinesem" built cars with MG badges on them pretending to be a classic British car company.

Hi everyone. Looking at that alloy tapered straight blade front fork with the number of ribs in the boot appears to be off an early 1995 V1000.

Vintage Cannondale should always be remembered as Cannondale "Handmade in the USA" as far as I'm concerned.

Been a while since I've been on here. Brian, you have a Raven ?? Nice. first Gen or second.link to pics please.

.........from Australia, How everyone doing with their Cannondale's these days. Been busy working in the restoration business and playing with trucks lately but still manage to get out and ride one of the Super V's I love. Hard to believe the drop barred 1995 V700 is now 28 years young. I'll...

To be honest why not use it as it is. A great hardtail mountain bike. If you want to use it on road build (or buy) a set of 26in road wheels for it. One of my Super V's has a set of road wheels using SACH's hubs, campag rims and Specialised Turbo S road tyres 23mm from memory. It as good as...
