True. That's why I'm playing around with some sketches with different color schemes. Although not a direct rip-off, I'll even consider a similar scheme to the SE OMEGA (maybe Red/Grey, or White/Red instead of the OMEGA White/Grey scheme). Two colors highlight the suspension. I loved the Beast...

One of my choices would be Red/Purple. I’ve got a red leather Selle Italia Flite saddle and red splash bar tape for a bullhorn bar (by Ergotec, the same like a Scott AT2 or Zoom Brahma). I was thinking red swing arm, red fork legs and purple front triangle. Or, I may do all-red, like a Beast of...

Yes, it would be! I'll have to make the trip one day... Makes me wonder how many Cannondale bikes have been parked in front of that building and their pictures taken ;)

Well, this has been in the making for 27 years... Finally got my hands on an original EST suspension bike, a SE1000, as a frame only. This project will be over a long period of time, so I don't know when it will be completed, but I already have the majority of components, so it's just a matter...

I can't say for sure, because I bought a lot of other parts with that order, so the shipping was based on the total amount (plus, the box was oversized as I bought a set of rims). Yes, just the cantis in a plastic bag and the instruction sheet. No cross cable or yoke.

Suntour SE cantilevers:

Well, I'll see how it goes as I just received some from a recent order I placed with SJS Cycles in England... At £4.99 a set, I figured at that low price, it'd be worth it to try (hard to find brand new canti brakes of any style at that price point!). They are labelled both on the canti arm and...

If I'm thinking what you're thinking, it was based on the Pederson "Self-Energizing" system, that was patented and the rights sold to Suntour. Suntour only marketed it as a rear brake, because there was too much liability as a front set-up (too easy to lock up the front and endo). It was a...

Thanks for the confirmation!

Not with bicycle frames but have close to 20 years of aluminum tanker truck and trailer maintenance/welding experience. As with welding any material, proper fit-up is essential to welded joint longevity. If there is any measurable gap between the pieces, there will be flex and there will be...

Just going by what is presented in their catalog. Unless they changed mid-year, it appears to be 1 1/4”. My KV900 from ‘94 has 1 1/4”.

It's 1 1/4". Not much variety in today's market if you wanted to replace the whole headset. Chris King still makes one, but big $$$.

That is incredible!

While doing some searching for canti brake set-ups, I came across this interesting article critiquing the Force 40 brake system. I only had one occasion where I locked the front wheel, but it was completely my fault. While traveling down a gravel path, I was going at a faster pace than what I...

Was quite surprised the other day when I removed the canti posts off of my frame and fork ('94 Killer V 900) that the mounting thread in the boss isn't metric like most bikes. After trying out various taps/dies, it seems that 5/16"-18 is the best. This was confirmed when I searched online...

More than likely only in that year then (seeing as there were so few examples)?

I've found on recent Google searches another Omega edition: The Delta V Omega. It seems they feature a production number decal on the left (non-driveside) chainstay that's unique to each bike, which states "Number _ of 75". I can't ascertain what year it would've been produced. Example...

Great color. It's one of the things I appreciate from this era (and earlier); manufacturers offered a variety of colors, especially bright hues.

Nice... The only original parts on my KV900 in that photo is the frame, forks, stem and seat post. I saved all of the original parts though and most of the good stuff that still works, will be put back on during this current rebuild.

Thanks for specifying which is which.
