I did buy the Cannondale. It was clean and in good, original condition. Had been sitting in a garage for several years. It’s a 1993 and is a 16”. I think it will be a better fit for my son then what he’s riding now, and it sure is lighter!

Hi everyone! I have some questions about the first bike pictured above. The second photo is my 11 year old son on a 1995 Schwinn Frontier that I built up for him to use as a flat bar paved path/ crushed limestone/ gravel bike. It’s main issue is that it is really dang heavy. I found a 93...

Thanks! The steerer is 187mm. It’s probably going to go up on eBay. It came on a 2000 Giant Iguana SE, with an upgraded front end. Mavic rim laced to White Industries hub, KORE elite titanium skewer, Avid V brake.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Is there any system of decal colors for certain models? I do not see that metallic red, yellow border, black background on many models. Actually I’ve only seen it on a Karakoram. None of the components match together with any model that I can find. It seems...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I need some help identifying this GT. I’m a road bike guy and like to restore and ride steel bikes. I found this bike for super cheap ($35) and was needing a new project, so thought I’d give it a try. I’ve been doing some research and I can’t figure out...
