Cannondale ID?
 
Hi all
This is tempting me off the local CL. Anybody know what vintage it’d be?
Looking for something for mild trail riding. Set my Surly more biased for road riding.

Doing a couple bigger rides this summer. This look like it would be a good bike for my slow paced trail riding. What do you think?

I found a vintage cannondale site and all I could surmise was that it is a mid 90's Cad3 Delta V or super V something. they made a standard mtb frame with the front monoshock and this thing at the same time not sure why. After going through several years of catalogs i never found one exactly like it. I bet there is a sticker with the Delta or Super V part of the name printed on it.


Correction: not super V that was the full suspension bike.

likely a mid 90s Killer V
bike looks to be in great shape and a neat retro ride.
Though the headshock is not at all progressive and like a pogo stick. Also the frame is probably the stiffest anyone has made, not great bouncing around upfrone with no flex on the rest of the body.
Better choices out there if you really want to mountain bike.

Could be an F series, the smallest sizes had the V front. That headtube logo was in use until 99. That LX came out in 99, I believe. I'm going to guess a '99 F series.
