1987 Cannondale

This is my second new bike purchased in 1987. Originally it was equipped with low end Suntour. Nor the drive train is Ofmega. I took it out for a 30 mile ride over the Thanksgiving holidays. Just thought i would share

I just wish i could upload a .jpg in this new forum

I'm not having this trouble. Do you have the .jpg hosted elsewhere? Shouldn't be a problem.

Ofmega. We definitely need pics. I'm having the same problem. You can add attachments on a new post, but the host and paste isn't working too well for me, either.

And, my new PC will open any website except BF, so far.

Pic upload...

Click: Manage Attachments. You might have to go to Advanced first. Click: Add Files The window that opens has a gray button at the bottom. Click that grayed out button and you should be able to access files in your computer from there.

Hope this is a help but the system is not as user friendly as it was before, IMHO.

Why don't you mount the Ofmega RD? I wonder what that would look like.

Pink jockey wheels. Gotta luv 'em. I think I'd have to go with a pink chain as well.

Great looking C-Dale!

Here's a manual work around for adding pictures.

Right click on the picture in your album you want to add to a BF post. Select "Copy Image Location."

Then type in the reply box:

[img]*[/img] But don't type the "*"

Instead at that point press the key marked "Ctrl" and "V" (for the Paste function) at the same time. This is what you will end up with:

You're not under their roof anymore, so, PINK IT!

The High Fist Shin chants: "Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink!"

Very nice. Always liked the Slate Gray ones.
Cannondale made bikes in such awesome colors back then...they look like they've been dipped in paint.
Proportions are just wonderful.
And those frames...

The paint jobs on my 2001 & 2003 C-dale bikes are absolutely first rate! I couldn't be more pleased.

I ordered my 1987 Cannondale out of an LL Bean catalog. Paid $286 for it. Has the LL Bean logo on the frame. I have since replaced all of the low end Suntour with Superbe, though this photo is of the stock bike with the exception of new tires. It had been hanging in my garage for a couple of decades until I discovered this forum, which motivated me to take it down, clean and lube it, and start riding again. Of course my stable has grown to a dozen steeds now. ha ha

You can see the blue Cannondale hanging on the wall in the background
