Afternoon chaps Thought it was about time I posted up one of my ongoing projects. I much prefer the riding position on old bikes and I have a particular like of old Cannondales from 1989 onwards. Among the various bits I have packed away is an 18" Cannondale MTB frame from 1990 which is the...

Maybe not, take a read of this. Old news but possibly relevant.

Re: Re: I settled for zinc primer. There is also the further problem of a galvanised vent panel causing other steel and Ali parts to corrode away quicker.

This first paragraph in the link confirms front and rear are different?

Pretty sure they are front and rear specific and you would need rear ones on a fork that had the canti's at the back. Infact if you look here they are slightly different in design. They should also have front or rear on the side if I remember correctly.

I would suggest asking the shop for the frames history. Hackney Police have asked all shops to take copies of photo ID and to check Serial No.s against Bikeregister.com when buying second hand so the shop should have some history of the frame. Of course shops don't have to do what the Police...

No you can't yet. The only ones left are the S2 ones although a couple of companies are trying to remanufacture S3 ones. Gavanising them is problematic as they are thin metal and tend to warp with the heat.Remember, this is a vehicle they stopped making 30 years ago and never had civilian...

I work on a lot of things and at the moment I'm restoring a Lightweight Landrover. These have a part called the vent panel that is just below the screen that corrodes VERY badly and is becoming rather expensive to replace. With this in mind I have filled it up with a product called Dinitrol...

Its a long time, 20 years since I fitted it but I seem to remember it needed a 132mm axle for my 1990 Cannondale running Cooks. Just found one on Ebay (click here). Mine has a FAG as it was the only type I could find easily back then.

Re: So how much would I be looking at having to spend on the decals?

Morning chaps Does anyone know where I can get a full set of frame decals for a 1990 3.0 series MTB frame? Checked on Ebay but the sets don't seem to be for MTB's. Thanks in advance

Even just frame and forks I am interested. I will be out in South Wales possibly the end of Feb and beginning of march so could probably collect as well. Do you have the rear brake hanger and the front mech thingie as well?

It'll be one of these.

And still looking, figured time for a bump.

Chaps I need a set of under bar shifter mounts so I can mount a set of XT STI shifters with Magura's. STX, Magura etc ones, whatever someone has available. Thanks in advance.

Anyone got one for sale?

Morning Chaps I need a 1" steerer non suspension adjusted fork, threaded or unthreaded but it needs to be a decent one. Maybe an RC30, Pepperoni, Ritchey Logic etc. V brakes, disc mounts or both are acceptable. So chaps, what you got for me?

Re: I think I'm interested in the DX stuff but give me a day or so till I recover from this night shift to be sure.

Morning chaps Just picked up a Cannondale M200SE frame for pennies off the bay but I need to know the axle to crown measurement so I can get a set of forks for it, anyone have any idea what it should be? Thanks in advance.
