Is this something they came out with while I wasn't "in the scene?" I've never seen any Cdale like this one before...

It's the kind YOU dont want.
just looking at the crank i'm guessing it's pretty old.
looking at the fork i'd guess pre 2k.

That's a fact. It just doesn't look like something out of Cannondale, I mean, that's a lot of piping. Looks like a design Mongoose would use...BurlyShirley said:
Agreed. Doesn't look like any C-dale I've ever seen since their first full suspension bikes from 1990.macko said:That's a fact. It just doesn't look like something out of Cannondale, I mean, that's a lot of piping. Looks like a design Mongoose would use...
Cranks look like old SHimano STX. Fork might be a low-end RS from the mid/late-90's.
I'm pretty sure that is not a Cannondale.
Look at the welds. Hasn't Cannondale always smoothed out their welds? I'm only going back as far as I can remember (early 90's) and I don't remember them not being smooth. Nor do I remember a frame that looked like that.
It's a Cannondale sticker on a Cheesedick frame.
I've owned about 7 Cannondales (two Los Dos tandems, SV-2000, some hard tails, etc) and I used to be a 'dale dealer.
Their signature is in the welds. They puddle weld and grind until it looks smooth.
Period.
Judging by the rear shock (no-name from A-Pro) it's a generic Chinese frame that's been illegally re-stickered with 'dale sticker.

also look at the head tube. once c'dale started using suspension ala the head shok, they had the crazy oversized HT, which that defintiely is NOT.
Macko, your avatar scares me. Get a new one.

grammatically correct or not you got the point
I find it ironic how the poster of this bike is so serious about not being "scammed" and involving law enforcement when he's pawning some re-stickered wal-mart special as a Cannondale. Whatevah.
I'm planning on adding my other dog to the avatar at some point, hopefully making it freakier to look at than yours.BikerBoy28 said:
did ya read about the requirements for payment. the packing material would be worth more than the bike
Wow, that is spooky-looking. My Cannondale has the smoothest welds ever--I can't see them. It was quite a shock when my Iron Horse Kumicho arrived and the welds showed.
