    1995 Killer V500

    I have the same problem. I've been riding a Trek that has grips with a wide flat surface for the palm of the hand. Really comfortable compared to round grips.

    Sobe promotional

    Looks to be in like new condition. Maybe a bit overpriced but doesn't seem unreasonable compared to new options.

    1998 Silk Path 300

    I really like the 25 mm travel on my XS800. It's great for soaking up road shock on gravel and rough pavement. The same ride could be achieved with a bigger tire run at lower pressure but with an increase of tire weight and loss of efficiency.

    2002 Jekyll 3000 Good Boy BB Threading

    I might be interested in your XTR crank if it's in decent shape.

    1986 SR800

    I had never seen one for sale. I didn't realize that ebony painted examples got black/gold Superbe Pro and Gran Compe components. Too small for me but tempting for the components...

    1995 Killer V500

    Great find. You could probably ride it with a long enough seat post but you might not like the saddle to bar drop. Hopefully someone in your family can ride it.

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    It's possible to start a ride with everything in proper adjustment but it only takes a fall, a stick, or other contact to mess it up. The number of rear wheels that have come my way with chain gouged spokes back me up on this. Most of my bikes don't have discs but I leave them on the ones that do.

    SR500 with "custom" graphics

    The ST400 and ST600 were evidently available with graphics but I've never seen examples that had them.

    I should get a picture of the gold plated one on my Black Lightning.

    SR500 with "custom" graphics

    1987 was the only year for the custom graphics. I've never seen one except in photos.

    Custom triathlon roadbike by Andreas Niedrig

    I can't tell what CAAD number it is but it's a lot closer to 2005 than 1995.

    Crit Talk

    I haven't looked at the results from the local Memorial Day crits. It's been years since I attended the races. Back when I attended there were always pro teams racing. Past winners include Jeff Bradley, Tom Shuler, Noel DeJonckhure, Robbie Ventura, and Hayden Godfrey.

    Headset bearings for 2002 caad4 r500

    Check with Cane Creek in NC. Replacing the complete headset is another option. Guessing these would work but I would check dimensions...

    Need info , received as father's day present today

    Is there a bar code sticker on the frame? The first letter would give the year of manufacture. N = 2002, O = 2003, P = 2004, Q = 2005, R = 2006, S = 2007

    1999 CAAD 4 R4000

    I've always liked my Team Blue R4000 but have never seen the other two paint schemes except in photos. I have a CAAD3 R4000 with the flip flop paint that's admittedly much flashier than Team Blue.

    1999 CAAD 4 R4000

    Interesting that the USA Fade was discontinued and Team Blue substituted. I wonder why.

    Out of Commission for a While

    Sorry to hear this. I can relate to the bruising and soreness. I hit a raccoon and went over the bar, landing on my hip. I had bruising from kidney to navel, very ugly. The next time I hit one I got a concussion and broken collar bone. Are you having trouble unclipping? Have you played...
