I am jealous. They look great.

Is the rear hub 130 or 135 mm?

Can you drop it at your friend's shop? I'm too busy on the farm this time of year, but my friend in Coal Valley could pick it up some time.

I'd love to have it to go with my 1995 M900. I'd surely give $300 for it if it was nearby and my size.

I have a family cemetery here on my farm. Most of the graves are children from the mid to late 1800s. Age range from infant to early teens. I'm guessing cholera or scarlet fever but haven't researched what was common cause of death at the time.

In the eastern half of the country I see one in Scarsdale NY and one in Austin TX. Didn't check ebay. https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/bik/d/scarsdale-cannondale-hooligan/7658953369.html

Looks like a '93 or '94 bike to me but colors don't look right for '94 and the catalog doesn't show an M400 or a 3.8 in '93. So 1994 would be my guess.

Wouldn't want your 3 ton wagon to run over your team of oxen or mules on a downhill, but it probably happened. Did the brakes contact the rim on the side or the outside diameter? Wagon just looked so isolated, made me think of possible vandalism. 10% death rate is more than I would have...

I'm glad you got it sold.

I don't own a MTB that old but I checked two 1987 road bikes. They both have the serial number on the underside of the non drive side chain stay.

Thanks for finding him. Hoping he has time to participate here.

The road frames in that era had holes in the chainstays that were plugged with a pop rivet before painting, not sure about the MTBs. I'm guessing those were the vent holes for gas to escape during welding but they wouldn't have been water tight with a pop rivet. My guess is that this frame...

Thanks for that. Looks to be from about 20 years ago. Interesting to hear that they were producing 4-500 bikes per day at that time. Would be great to track down that manager as he could probably answer a lot of questions that come up.

I didn't remember it but all the 1987 MTBs except the SM400 came with SunTour roller cam brakes. What are the hubs and rims? I might be interested in them and the crank. I'd need to check the frames on hand but I might be interested in the fork and brakes. I assume the fork is 1".

Tempting just because it's my size and sort of hard to find.

Thanks. That '92 R1000 was a lucky find, it's only missing the original Mavic handlebar and Kingsbery seatpost. The 1991 SR1000 was much the same. The main difference was the very hard to find Grip Shift. I don't know if the Mavic rear derailleur used the same cable pull ratio as Shimano...

It's the boss on the other side that fails. The part that the steel rod threads into isn't very strong and can break off. Hoping yours is in good shape.

1987 SM500 looks likely to me as well.

Nice photos. Is the Conestoga near the campground or is as unguarded as it appears? I can't imagine heading out into the wilderness in one for a journey of hundreds of miles.

I need to weigh my titanium Serotta softtail and see how it compares. It's my only MTB that isn't a hardtail.
