Mavic road? Like this?

Your photo shows the side with the "nut". You can use the flats or the hex to remove it. It may just need to be tightened but it's a good idea to check for damage to the other end. There is a pin on the back side of black piece but it's not very long. So if the nut somehow got loose or the...

The upside is that with folks buying into whatever is latest and greatest, the older bikes can be had for a fraction of what they cost new and can be found in great shape.

Both look to be in great shape and mostly original. The '86 SR800 in Coral is quite a find.

My best guess is that "nut" (for lack of a better term) of the boss assembly has somehow backed off, allowing for some side to side slop on the down tube, which has allowed the shifter boss to rotate. The cast bosses can also corrode and break due to corrosion from sweat. I'd recommend taking...

I will have to check my 2000 XR800 but it's a 58 as I remember.

It's a shame what Trek has done with Klein, Bontrager, LeMond, and Fisher brands. I have bikes of all 5 brands but only Trek survives and I don't know if any Treks are still made in USA. My Klein was built under Trek ownership but still made in Chehalis. Paint and detailing was great on...

Looks like a paved trail. How long is it? My only rides recently have been commuting between the farm and the shop in town, corn on one side of the road and soybeans on the other.

What year? I have an XL 1993 but it's one of my favorites, so not ready to part with it. I would consider parting with my 2000 XR800 CX. Pretty sure it's a 58 cm.

Wondering what the weight range is on Jekylls.

Sounds very reasonable to me given the condition. Size? Should be stamped in BB shell.

Good to know that the OP's bike is not a one off. Thanks for posting your wife's bike.

We should all attempt to get all of our Cannondales into one photo.

I have two XR800s. My problem with them is that they are "vertically deficient", meaning neither seat or head tube is tall enough for me. I end up way too leaned over even on the largest size (58 cm IIRC). I much prefer the geometry of the Asian made CAADX from circa 2011. Pic is a 56 cm...

I don't really have a grail bike in mind but I bought two dual suspension titanium Serottas from a guy in the southwest, one road, one MTB. Also bought a Ti Serotta Hors Categorie from a bike forum guy in Switzerland. Pic is of the softail road bike.

Looks really nice. I would be tempted if local. Have friends in NE TX but they never come here and I never go there......

Looks great.

I would say no, not worth the money involved.

Guessing it is. Brian might know for certain.

I use several old touring bikes as gravel bikes. Rode my '85 earlier in the week. It has 32 mm CX knobby tubulars.
