PM sent regarding bottom bracket!

No last minute bidding at 3k, ok. Still a good chunk above what I was expecting.

Long legs, deep pockets, I only have one of them 😓

Do you have any info on numbers produced? I mean not just XL but all Ultimates. 100? 300? 500?

Another nice frame, if a bit neglected. Recently an immaculate a la Carte with the iconic jellybean paintjob sold for less than the 950 it was offered on ebay. One in bad condition, but complete bike with Bontrager fork is on offer for 950, but hasn´t sold for 2 years now (it´s really bad...

Agreed, it´s basically just the frame. Large frames are quite rare though, at least that´s how I explain it for myself. Any bets if it will stay this colour? I see it being powder coated turquoise faster than you can say Accutrax.

Hi there, nice set you have there! It´s nice to see an earlier frame with U brake, but it appears to be missing its press fit BB. This is challenging to find or at least a bit expensive for what it is. So I´d estimate the frame alone incl the seat collar at about 300 £/$/€. With the fork maybe...

Strange that the RD is Deore? But it´s a perfect base for a resto.

As Mr Tooty said, even new ones have a bit of play. I´d say 1,5-2mm at the tip of the lever is normal. But it could also be that parts are missing or it´s not assembled correctly. I remember a thin copper washer between the fixed and the moving part often to be missing.

Although technically in Canada, this one also fits nicely in the above lineage https://www.ebay.ca/itm/165851975998

Self collection is always going to have a big impact on auction results. Having said that- it didn´t too bad for a fork and two rims, did it?

At 4.3k$ it went for about as much as early Yetis have been sold for in the recent past. Hopefully we´ll see a bit more from this wonderful bike if the new owner is willing to show it.

Yeah sadly, but where there is a will ...

I knew it was probably posted already, it´s quite nice, dented or not. How much did the seller want for it before?

A really nice and still very original bike! You´re correct with dating it to 1987, as evidenced by the frame number: https://vintagecannondale.com/info/serial_numbers/ Value could be between 200 and 500 buckaroos. In my opinion you need to be patient to find the right buyer if you want to sell...
