    I hate it when that happens…

    It's like fasteners (screws) for an access panel on a wing. The panel is for aerodynamics. Not for holding the wing to the fuselage. Those little screws don't need to be torqued to 5 white knuckles!

    I hate it when that happens…

    I bought a replacement from cannondale experts for $20.

    1996 R600

    I do see the frame size sticker on the seat tube in the picture, now that you mention it. But the picture quality isn’t good enough to zoom in to read it fully. Probably moot. I’m the only person in my family that is passionate about bikes.

    Is this OCD?

    I do the final tightening for the stem while straddling the frame. Otherwise it’ll end up “off” as well if I try doing it in the stand.

    1996 R600

    I like the colors. I don’t know much about the RX100 gruppo. If it is a 56cm frame I wouldn’t mind tinkering with this one for my wife. But looking at the head tube it might be much smaller. Not sure. It’s listed for $150 and is a 25 day old ad, so probably would take less. 96 R600

    L.L. Bean?

    Neat bike @Trailmix !

    Is this OCD?

    Yes. I discovered I botched the install on the non drive side one. That’s what I get for “eyeballing” them…;) Now that I’ve thought more about it, I can’t hang pictures on the wall either. At least, not without my wife’s help. ;)

    Is this OCD?

    Of course it is. But I just can’t get a saddle straight. Asymmetric eye sockets. Or something. I can’t drill a straight hole either. Roll your eyes. Laugh out loud. It’s ok. My only other option that I have resorted to (more than once) is I have to ask my wife “is my seat straight?” :)

    Finding a previously installed Helicoil the hard way. How about you?

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Out and about today. It’s Spring! Time to get out and ride!

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Bought the Garmin Edge 540 with the bundle; speed & cadence senors, HRM-Dual heart rate monitor. I rode with it all yesterday. It took me a bit of fumbling to set it all up. I still have to tweak the main screen setup. The HRM worked as advertised. I’d say the old formula of 200-age is...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    I just got one! And I'm learnin' myself how to set it up. I shall give a report in the next few days. I don't remember what my max heart rate was 30+ years ago. I never gave it much of a thought. Even when my coach was having us runners find out what it was. I ran on perceived effort. Not...

    MT. Tandem

    My tentative sales pitch to Mrs.Idaho; “This would be a great bike for us! We can be riding together more. And we’ll look like a great couple at the campgrounds this summer!” ;)

    MT. Tandem

    I’ve never looked for chains and cables for a tandem but I also don’t recall any for sale. This one is probably like a lot of tandems I’ve seen for sale. Low mileage. Would only need tires ‘n tubes and hub service. That drag brake on the rear wheel is interesting. I don’t recall that component...

    MT. Tandem

    Normally I wouldn’t give a tandem much thought while looking at classifieds. Because they’re usually very highly priced. This one isn’t terrible at $400. And I believe it’s big enough at 22” for the ”stoker”. Very nice shape for a 1995. I like the color. Pretty cool huh? MT1000

    CAAD4 Team Saeco

    The “LB“ on your BB is in a different spot than indicated for year on the serial number page. But it matches: L=2000, B=February. I’m not an expert decoder but I’m 99% sure you’re correct on the 56 on the BB being 56cm. Nice bike!

    Lost in colour.

    Blue is my favorite color. So I vote blue. For black decals it would have to be on the lighter side of blue to show up well. A metallic light blue would be neat. I don’t know how to paint but I think I’ve read that painting a metallic is difficult.
