Just picked this up. It sort of fell into my lap for small money.. given the setup it was an easy decision. Haven't cleaned it up.
Anyone know what this thing is?
I have a hard time believing it's a Cannondale for two reasons: 1) I can't find it in the catalogs. The shifter vintage(XTR, M951) looks to be 1998-ish. 2) The welds look sloppy to me, given the typical Cannondale finish standards(usually more a carbon frame look with smooth joints)
Decals are vinyl and not clear-coated. Paint looks original and pretty decent. Shifters, FD, & RD are XTR. XT crank. Brake levers SRAM 9.0. Hubs are LX (8 speed). Bontrager Maverick rims, 26". Haven't weighed the bike, but it's pretty light..I'd guess ~25#. 17 inch frame C-C.
Any idea on what it's worth? Not looking to flip it..more of a winter project to do something with.
