Well, I guess here in this thread there is not much more to do for me now but keep you updated with some pictures whenever I ride it. Next week, the Bull Frog Trail will be out with me for a week in Bavaria / Munich, Grainau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany! Maybe I have some more beautiful pics then. At the moment, its only stored away in quite the good 90s legends company

Youll find the CANNONDALE H800 Cross Training build thread here:

1993 CANNONDALE H800 Cross Training build / rebuild thread

Hi guys! During Corona times, I also found this beautiful 1993 CANNONDALE H800. I always loved the idea to work on a "trekking" style bike. Real "cool daddy style" with carriers or handlebar bags and stuff *lol* Crazy story: The seller also included the "original saddle". A *NOS* 1993 Flite...

and the 1996 KLEIN Quantum Pro (Burgundy Blue) will have an own thread very soon.

Cheers!

Das is gut!
Do you have/ did have/know of a zig zag trail. Kind of a team marin based model?
Or any info, serial numbers, archive of any sort.
Danke.

The "Zig Zag Trail" was introduced in 1994. It was Tange Superlite tubing model (like the 1993 Team Issue etc.) with 690g fork and LX / XT group. Funnily the catalogue sais 690g fork at one point and 750g at another

[BIKE SOLD! Frame set only]Time to say good bye here my friends! Now that was quicker than I thought ...

After my last tour to Bavaria, I decided that its time to let this one go and that its time to say goodbye again! BUT: The good news is, I had a plan in mind. All the beautiful parts like the Ringle stuff, the complete XTR group set including the cartridge brake pads etc. will be taken off to build a 1994 "Team FRS". Now thats even better, dont you think?

You can follow the build of the Team FRS now here:
