    cdale

    I love the look of old cannondales, but I have never had one because I have never quite been able to trust the sticky out rear dropouts. My modern ride is an f700 however.

    Rockhopper

    Thinking back I think that the price when I bought it was £399 for the complete bike, it seemed like a fortune at the time. Last year I spent twice that on a set of SRM cranks for my Triathlon bike. Times ave changed!

    COOLWALL: Are bar-ends cool?

    I used to have an all in one bar, I think it was called a Brahma Bar, it had extra long grips that went all the way round the curved bar end part. Were these ever cool?

    Parts wanted for first Retro build

    Evening, I have a couple of shiny modern roadbikes, I love then to death but can't leave them anywhere. So I am rebuilding my old rockhopper, which has been in bits since about 1995, predictably some of the bits have walked so I am looking for replacements. I would prefer if bits were...

    Newby saying hello.

    Evening, I was pointed to this forum after putting out a request for some old 7 speed bits on another forum. I think I have looked at every post on the Readers ride section - I am hooked. I have an old Spesh Rockhopper, about 1990 I think, that I am trying to restore into a usable bike. I...
