Today I finally join the Cannondale SR900 club
Last week i came across this Cannondale on FB marketplace and it was missing the front wheel.
which wasn’t a big deal and I could always located one on eBay. I guess it was a SR 900 by looking at the pictures and all the post said was vintage racing bike.
Long store short went I got there today to pick it up, I ask her the full story on where the came from it was her dad. The dad bought the bike in 1984 new and did tons of races. It a only one owner bike till now. The asking price was $10, so I double down on it to hold the bike for me to pick up today. Did a little bit of cleaning on it. It will need a new chain later.The top cable guild is metal,unlike my 1985 Sr 800 which has plastic one.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
C'dales always throw me due to the fat tubes. If that were a steel frame I'd think 54/56cm. That's 58/60?

We call that a 'You Suck!!!' in other nerd-related circles I frequent. It is quite a badge of honor.
OP, you suck!

If that bike was a smaller frame I would tell you how ugly and despicable it is, and insist you send it to me before your friends see it and you are embarrassed.
The truth is, it's one attractive bike! Great find!
