I thought touring frames were designated in inches. I came across a 1989 ST400 that the SN is in cm. The 89 catalog specification is in inches. Was there a change? If so what year?

What the heck were they on about? Hindu? India? I can‘t find anything on the interwebz that discusses the graphics on the 2005 touring bikes. Any ideas out there?

I replaced my RD on my R400 with a 105 to match the FD. I can not get the L limit screw in adjustment. I’ve watched the Park Tool video multiple times. I do believe I’ve discovered the issue. The first step in the video is to make sure the derailleur hangar is straight. It looked straight...

A beginning. And in that beginning there was light. A heartbeat before the existence of that visible light was….. BLACK LIGHTNING!!

I have added another Cannondale. I was just going to go look at it. The color and vintage initiated my ”need” to look. It turned out to be in good enough condition for me and a deal was made. It’s a 1995 R300, 58cm, in a nice looking dark metallic green. First impression was that it was...

A for sale ad has me trying to play detective. Sort of. The bike looks to be a 1989 SR 3.0 framed bike. But doesn’t have an aluminum fork. Swapped? Possibly, since brakes and rear derailleur seem to be not the originals. It has a Dura ace crank like a SR2000. But Campagnolo FD like a 900. Pics:

I found a great paint schemed frame for sale. It would likely cost more than I should or could pay. Its serial number starts with “N” = 2002. How would you complete it? What is a realistic working man’s budget?

Thought I’d do a quick clean and lube on the M500 this morning. I set it in the stand and did a check on my recent FD adjustment. Hmmm something isn’t right. Chain is binding.

Rehabbing a 2001 R400. The Shimano Sora 3304 return spring retaining portion of FD is broken off. FD no worky. I've discovered that the rabbit hole is very deep when it comes to front derailleurs...

I bought this bike because it needs work and the price was low enough for me. Tires are flat, rear wheel is bent enough there is a broken spoke, rear brake doesn’t work very well, front derailleur won’t downshift and chain seems loose. But everything else appears to my inexperienced eyeballs...

Wondering if I’m crazy. Driving 360 miles to buy a R500 and R400 today. Making a family adventure out of it; kids, wife, dogs. That’s only half crazy. Full crazy is that we’re driving back home in the same day. Some may wonder why? The R500 is a 2004 and it is like new. The 2001 R400 is...

If I didn’t see anything that was already posted I apologize. It would be a neat reference if something was put together identifying the differences of the CAAD frames. It could be a can of worms considering both road and mountain bikes have their variations.

Does anyone know about the Dualdrive? I read enough to understand the concept and didn’t find anything here via search. I recently saw an ad for a Adventure bike so equipped. I see it in use on bike builder forums and such. But I haven’t yet come across anything negative. How is the...

Had someone send me this video. A great look at how they were once made… Assemblying the Cannondale Bicycle

Camping trip near the Snake River, SW Idaho.

While attempting to send a non-Cannondale picture in a private message I discovered the picture link in the header only functions for url links. And no Attach files function below the message box. Is that normal?

Has anyone found their “holy grail” bike for sale but it was on the other side of the country? And you didn’t know anyone that lived near the for sale bike? But you managed to buy it anyway. How did you do it? It’s a thought that crossed my mind as I searched for a previously unknown to me...

What benefit(s) other than stiffness does a Pepperoni fork offer over a standard fork? The 93 M500 I just bought has a standard fork and while perusing ebay I came across a purple Pepperoni. Just random thoughts. No particular reason to modify my new to me M500. Thanks

Anyone ever convert a frame into a gravel bike? Curious what frame(s) are good donors. Thanks

After recently adding a Prophet to my small (2) collection of Cannondale’s I started contemplating finding another. Since I‘ve got a hardtail and a FS the next logical step is a rigid. The Beast of the East has caught my attention. But they’re few in my searches for sale. Let alone in LG or XL...
