Cannondale F800SL with Headshok Fatty Ultra DL SOLD

[ibbz]

Hi I just bought this but the frame is too large for me - I cleaned it up and it's quite striking! I wouldn’t be selling it on if it were my size - no way! As I picked up a bargain. If it doesn’t sell here for what I paid it’ll be on Gumtree for £295.

Frame is a Cannondale CAAD 5 19" made in USA
Quite good condition frame and cosmetically the fork.
The frame is quite special and looking at this ad from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303675769325 (frame only no forks £395) it’s the only older MTB frame that can take 700c 27.5 and 29er wheels.

“ will accommodate 700c wheelset m up to 43mm CX tyres no problem Gravel & CX provenance The CAAD5 is most versatile aluminium frame to come out of Cannondale and the only old school traditional 26er frame capable of running 29ers, up to 30c, makes this a very unique and sought after unique amongst custom builders and special project enthusiasts.”

It has a Fatty Ultra DL Fork - Which I’ve pumped up and which so far is holding air - can also be locked out and used as a rigid fork - Has the original stem.

Re:

Some versions of Headshok forks are air and have a valve under the steerer tube.

Re:

Postage option??
I'd be interested.

With the Headshock, do you mean it just won't lock out?
Or is there no bounce in the shock?

It locks as a rigid - as shown
But turn the switch and it deflates
I’ve no idea what to do with it - there’s a strange thing under the fork - but I tried turning it but no luck - I didn’t try hard - I’d have to have a look in the daytime

Re:

Have you blown the fork up ? That’s a air valve isn’t it?

Re: Re:

I’ve no idea what it is - do I twist open to reveal a Schaeder valve ?

Re:

Yes

Re: Re:

Yes

I tried to twist it open and it's too tight.
I will have to try again in the morning
but this is 100% a valve cap which reveals a valve which I pump up?
That explains why when not locked out as a rigid they go flat. I had no idea these were an Air fork

Re:

Well on my Fatty SL they have a valve exactly there. So I’d assume so. Bang about 100psi in to start and go from there
