Yeah love the Cannondale's. Like my trucks, they're all heavily modified. don't do stock.
Still got my Jekyll, I bought it new but didn't like the cheap Manitou forks it came with as it was a 'poverty pack' 400. Eventually will fit a lefty for it.
Here's some of the Dales, my viper red 'V' is now 20 years old and like brand new and yes I ride drop bars offroad...
below taken in 1995 at Warrah Trig over looking the Hawkesbury.
And it present look, highly modified. TEST... can you ID the components ??
This is the Super V Raven, aluminium spine and carbon wrapped.
It was an US ebay basket case I rebuilt using updated drivetrain.
Rebuilt still have to strip the swingarm for polishing.
below. Super V1000 active ebay bargain highly modified with what's known as a Ubber upgrade.
Rear air shock is replaced with longer travel stable platform model, swingarm is drilled out further up the pivot, front shock is swapped out for mountain spring and Super Fatty air cartridge. giving a plush 6 and 5 inch travel.
Post some more soon.
