I got this bike on ebay and removed the original front weel and installed the lights, a humpert slim line rack, Schwalbe Marathon tyres and added the bluemels rear fender.
I think it is a ST500 (400?). The frame number tells me, that it is a 1989 model, fabricatet in may. Frame size 21inch.
This bike is in really excellent condition. I had to repair some minor scratchers and found out, that the Ducati red from 2002 fits exactly.
I use it for touring with less weight baggage and for buying...
Got it for a song from the first owner, he almost never rode it; the cyclocomputer he had put on when he purchased it had less than fifty miles on it.
Changes I've made thus far:
Cockpit-
⚬ changed original glossy white vinyl bar wrap for Novara (REI) black cork;
⚬ handlebars were too narrow so I picked up a 46cm set at a bike coop for $5;
⚬ installed a Tiagra Sport Bike Console iPhone mount along with a Wahoo Blue SC Cadence/Speed Sensor
⚬ Sella Anatomica Titanico X for the...
This is my pink and purple Cannondale touring bike! It came from a pretty groady basement and the seat and handlebar tape and brake hoods were all pretty disgusting, but it rides like a dream. I decided to see how many different pink components I could buy for it, which turned out pretty weird. The original color scheme had more of a orange hue to go with the frame color. Haven\\\\\\'t touched the drivetrain of the bike, probably not going to because it flies. The rear tire is a replacement...
L.L. Bean touring bike, spec'd like an 87 ST400 with a cheaper drivetrain. They went with the Suntour Alpha 3000 front derailleur but an AG rear unit and Superbe friction shifters. Obviously a low end crankset. The bike was missing a wheel, so I installed the black 700c set I had on hand. There is no logo on the head tube.
The Valerie's road bike, a venerable old touring C'dale in the smaller size with nice Brooks leather parts
Where have all the funny Cannondales gone? This is a denim blue audax bike fully equipped with Brooks...
I bought this baby back in 2006 on eBay for £200. It was tired and needed some attention. I am planning to bring the bike up to a modern spec as the fork spacing will accept modern hubs.
I do about 100 miles a week and it still eats up the road!
Thanks for looking.
This is my daily rider in a city of amazing bikes. I have changed the gearing for city/straight boogeying, cut the weight where I could, and keep her tuned tightly. I enjoy the longer than average wheelbase--- the faster I go the smoother she is. I liken her to an RX-7...she is not the very best at any ONE thing, but she does it all exceptionally. A true all around classic that still turns heads and has a high carbon-fiber diet!! Cheers! Chris
It's my first cannondale....
Not only for going to work ... just every day fun!!!
For the more fast drive I use my CAAD 9
About a month ago, I got in an accident with this bike. I was going around 20 mph when a car pulled out, and my fork was folded in. Thanks to rock solid american engineering, that was the only thing that was damaged or bent on the whole frame. With the addition of some serious wheel truing, I just recently got her back from the shop with a new steel fork... And of course, she still rides buttery smooth.
Thank you Cannondale, for making such a reliable and brilliantly built bicycle.
I bought the bike for around 500.00 in 1993 from a shop in Indianapolis called Bicycle Gargage Indy. The bike has been a joy to ride, made a upgrade on the shifters and new wheels. Hard to buy a new bike when this one still works great.
