    Noticed something interesting about Cannondale Road/race frames over the last 20+ years

    yeah, the differences in geometry aren't that much... by the way: awesome website, geometrygeeks! i think the biggest thing that has changed from the days of jan ullrich and before to now is that the riders mostly choose smaler and therefore shorter frames nowadays. and the pro cyclist are...

    Saddle Position with the forward Seat Tube?

    when i was gambling with the position i always came to the conclusion, that the more you make a science out of it, the more worst get the problems. to me, each bike and model is different. and also the position on it. each model has 'it's' position to ride it. when you want to ride a...

    Inherited This Cannondale

    oh you're right... the frame doesn't look like cannondale! it looks more like tubes by older ridley's pegasus... maybe one more for the 'fake cannondale' sektion^^ but at the moment there is another CAADX for sale, that has the same top tube oO here it's mainly depending on if the CAADX has...

    1988 Black Lightning

    KMC has gold chains, but just from 9 speed upwards. not 'timely' for the age of the frame, at least a gold chain :)

    Cannondale CAAD 7 Black Lightning #105/300 [2002]

    Found this nice item on german Kleinanzeigen. Had a short conversation with the owner, a 71 years old nice man. We were talking about this nice road bike and he asked me about possible pricing.
