The one part that is. In my master plan. And maybe the crank “fixing” bolts. Which, by the way are a major pain in the neck to source. I’ve got a set on the way that are new. But aren’t the exact part number for FC-5500 series. If they don’t fit I’ll just go to the hardware store and buy some...

Well this ought to fix it….

Merry Christmas to all at Vintage Cannondale! Hopefully you’ve been good so Santa brings you what you’ve been wishing for.

That is a great color!

Welcome Mike! And please consider posting some stories from your Team days. Maybe like funniest thing to happen. And what the early days of Cannondale racing team was like. Thanks! Nice R800!

Thanks all! I do have a new cassette @black lightning 1987 it’s a SRAM 9 speed. It is part of the final mods that I plan on doing soon. I’ve slowly been converting the bike over to 105 components. Just the brifters and crank assembly remain. Those parts are awaiting in a box in the shop for me...

Chain is good. Not at the .5 wear indicator yet. Buuuut, I do see sharks teeth on the cogs. Guess my eyes weren’t trained enough awhile back…

I have not checked the B screw lately. Will do. Thanks. Original cassette, and likely the chain as well.

Hmm, no I don't think the derailleur is moving. Because I've gotten off the bike and lifted the rear wheel with one hand and pedalled with the other and the chain returns to the previously selected cog. But the jockey wheel portion of the RD is usually pulled forward. Chain bind of some sort...

I’m unable to determine a cause for my chain attempting to change gears on the rear cogs when starting from a dead stop. This is on my 2001 R400; triple front, 8 speed rear. It only happens when stopped at a stop sign on a slight incline. It is where I’ve got a busy street to cross that...

Looking forward to whatever you decide. I like the drop bar gravel bike idea.

Welcome! Yes, please on pictures!

Nice find! Great scenery! Welcome!

About darn time!

2004. All I’ve done is service the hubs and clean and lube the chain/freewheel. It was “minty” when I picked it up. Well taken care of. I do need to do a gallery photoshoot….

I took a boring in front of the garage photo of the R500 immediately after today’s ride. Yes, my “smart” phone rides with me, but I find it difficult to stop during a ride. Today was the third ride of the week. No thanks to wildfire smoke creating unhealthy air since mid July I haven’t ridden...

I am truly sorry to read of your health struggles Brad. I lost a favorite Uncle a few years back that lived with that. I know it frustrated him to no end as he was an avid outdoorsman. Like you he pressed on as best he could doing what he loved. If you find joy in half a block ride and can get...

I bet you have some great stories attributed to rides on your bike. I wouldn't mind reading a yarn or two....
