But if anyone wants to get it and swap a devinci, an asx , a boxxer and a 66 give me a call. Can even throw in a photo of me naked if that seals the deal.
Cmon all you Richie rich types, cough up and have my eternal blessings

ride quality?
Oh jeez. Looking back I want to say "trash", but also that's a bit unfair. Pretty steep and twitchy, but was definitely better with wider bars and 2.35 tyres on it, so there is definitely an element of mind-noughties XC spec clouding my memory. It's the sort of thing that I reckon would go well nowadays if you sacked off the Lefty in favour of a single crown tapered steerer fork so you could chuck a -2º angleset in there. That's if you want to ride it regularly. If you just want to have a cool mid-school Cannondale that you can look at in the garage and do the occasional lap of Lysty on then thumbs up.

I could swapa boxxer or 66 and some cash for the rush frame. Picture this, totem on front, coilly shock on the rear, sweet.
Or the boxxer could even suit, the frame was designed to take a dual clamp fork after all.
If any cheap rush frames in large out there, gimmee a holla

Give this thread a firm prod.

I find it pretty relaxing messing around with my old stuff which we can call vintage. Have rescued these Fox 32 talas RL of about an 08 vintage. They needed special love only a man in a shed with spanners and lube on a Sunday afternoon can give.

A few minor scratches on the stanchions but the internals were surprisingly good. They have had a bit of hard life and a bit rugged on the black lowers.

Fitted 180mm rotor to fix a tight clearance that these wheel has always had. Fixed that after the obligatory messing around with more washers.

All going OK, hmm, can I clean up the lowers. This is pretty dodgy even by my lax and forgiving standards. Ah ha, out came the left over White Knight self priming flat black gloss enamel paint that I painted the gutters with. Grabbed one of Mrs smaller brushes and all done in a few minutes.

It is old so you are allowed to get a bit home made without any guilt :)

Cockpit upgrade next. C'mon Jenson Usa.

Here's ye olde short travel Club SC.

Edit: Damn you Tapatalk portrait shots.
