A strange Cannondale MTB with 24" rims. Not a kids' bike, it is a large frame with something like a 32" standover. Not sure what this thing is, and really want to look it over.

Is there some sort of voodoo dance that can be done to get the truck here earlier in the day?

Run up to the store for something real quick. Of course then he likely won't leave it since there was nobody there to sign for it.

Of course, this is exactly what happened. Left for 20 minutes to get the kids from school. He came in that time. I am gone all day today, so that means Monday at the earliest now. Carp. I had planned on having a date with it tonight to tear it down.

Got it today, by pure luck. That's good. But its not really quite what I suspected. Rear Der is broken. No big deal. But it is not the frame made for 24" wheels, just normal 26" ones. I was interested in it mainly for the oddity. Now I have to send an email to the seller to complain. What a pain.

Well didn't Cannondale start out with having a 24" in the rear and a 26" in the front?
