.Is that one with one of the 1-1/4 head tubes?
na, a mate of mine had an old dale with 1 inch, turned out it had a bent downtube, cannondale replaced it with a new frame that had a 1 1/4 in head tube, he then broke that and had a hell of a time getting a replacement one with a 1 1/4 head tube as he wanted to keep his forks and stuff... jsut that that looked like a big size head tube and was from that era, but it could ahve been the forks making it look that way.
If 1 1/4 is the headshok size head tube, no it's not. Bought just a regulation size carbon ebay fork and popped that in before painting. It's a great fast frame, but after 19 years I thought it deserved a retirement from dirt before it broke and hence the flat road conversion.
Buy it back of him if you can, i would love to have my first mtb.The next time i saw the bike it was leaning up against a fence collecting rust......
This was about 3 years ago now, its long gone.Buy it back of him if you can, i would love to have my first mtb.
Still have the frame? A Metalhead with original Z1s is pretty much my dream hardtail...1996 Spooky Cycles Metalhead...
