Back then I think that this little detail was an invention of the early developers who went out on some rides and found out that they really NEEDED to carry the bike over or around some obstacle. I haven't used it in years. I think it was not specific to Peugeot.

Yes, cold in the night but I had a good down bag. But even still there was one night that I couldn't keep my feet warm. Didn't sleep much that night. Some of this desert, the Negev, is 900 meters and some of it is only 50 meters elevation. The low desert is much warmer throughout the whole...

Thanks very much for all the compliments. As for the frame metal, I am pretty sure that it is Reynolds 531 double-butted as best I remember. I could be wrong about the number but this is close.

Listen Guys, you got'ta go to the desert to ride. This place is a HUGE PLAYGROUND. And it hardly ever rains. No mud. Go here and look at all of the "extras" you get in the deal. :shock: http://gallery.me.com/seventypalms#100041 Click the slideshow button at the bottom. D.R.

Yeah, Hi, I did get a good idea about the current value. Seems like about +-700 euros is the best estimate. So I know enough to keep it in good condition and ride it until the end. I am getting too old to justify the purchase of another high tech fully. So this bike is just good enough in...

1999-2009 I kept the carbon fiber frame and graphics covered up with a $1 roll of plastic electrical tape over these last 10 years. Every two years or so I remove the tape and deep clean the bike. Got'ta protect that investment. It still looks good and rides like a Cadillac. Coda cranks, Cane...

1999 CarbonDale - What is it worth? 1999 CarbonDale - What is it worth? Yes, I am really wondering what it is worth. But I have to give a "write up" in order for the condition to be factored into the value. The bike gets ridden on average only 3 months per year because it lives in the...

1999 CarbonDale - What is it worth? Top of the line 1999 Cannondale Super V Raven 3000. I kept the carbon fiber frame and graphics covered up with a $1 roll of plastic electrical tape over these last 10 years. Every two years or so I remove the tape and deep clean the bike. Got'ta protect...

Dusty Roads Here . . . Greetings from Amsterdam, It's past my bedtime, and I am tired. I have been trying to post a fancy thread in this forum-The one and only "HOW MUCH IS MY xyz WORTH" thread- but I keep getting a message that says you can't post anything fancy unless you first post a...
