    Can anyone identify / date this Cannondale?

    The frame was kindly karmad to me by adz313 of this parish, I believe it had done the rounds on here before so it's could be a UK market colour. There's no violet / black fade finish nor does it have the Cannondale trademark paint bubbling;). Finally, there's no "shadow" where decals have been...

    What are your retro bike plans for 2024.

    Being retired and living in Spain Brexit has brought a full stop to all of my Retrobike buying and selling. I've had this 29er Pike in almost new condition doing nothing for some years now so I've been looking to buy a frame and wheels to build a 29er Single Speed. This year it's going to...

    '97 Marin Rift Zone

    Collected from Reluctant about 4 years ago and left with Wadsey to build up with parts supplied with me. Then came along Covid, Brexit, Spanish bureaucracy and some health issues so I was really looking forward to giving it it's first ride now that I could visit the UK again. Sorry for...

    Can anyone identify / date this Cannondale?

    There's no identification numbers under the BB shell and no overspray inside the tubes so I believe it has the original paint.

    For Sale 1999 Gary Fisher Supercaliber

    A friend had one of these, it was lighter than my Klein and rode just as well. I have the matching long sleeve race shirt still. It may be newer than '99 though. Any way have a bump for a nice bike.

    Anyone into classic cars

    Had a Xantia for a company car, it was a great drive if, like me you had to be behind the wheel for many hours each day. It had lots of faults though. There's loads and loads of rust free examples here in Spain.

    1998 17" Specialized S Works M2 (UPDATED)

    They are great looking bikes, a bit harsh to ride but handle so well and fun to ride. If you're not bothered about originality a carbon seat pin shimmed to 27.2, fitted with modern higher volume tyres and set up tubeless will make for a comfortable ride without loosing any of these great...

    About 2003 their car sponsor changed to Subaru if that helps. Just looked through the archives on here and 2001 looks to be yours (paint and wheels size).

    Cycling The Ridgeway - Then and Now?

    Some summer pictures taken around Uffington castle. Creeping into the RHS of the picture is the White Horse which I've read variously as being between 3 and 5 thousand years old. It can only be seen in it's entirety from the air. The topped off cone you can see above my top tube is where St...

    Rockhopper or Palisades Trail for touring ?

    I did a rubbish paint job on a Lave Dome, no one ever gave it a second glance especially when it was loaded with panniers.

    Rockhopper or Palisades Trail for touring ?

    I don't want to put a negative spin on such an enjoyable thread but given where tourers are often left unattended, sometimes over night, which frame looks the least attractive to thieves?

    Cycling The Ridgeway - Then and Now?

    This was my first experience of riding on wet chalk, an extra challenge with the Cheng Sing tyres that came with the Raleigh and I probably pumped them up too hard as well, (I was learning) :rolleyes: .
