2006 Cannondale Gemini

[Rumble]

I got back from the alps today so thought it's about time I put up a thread for my alps bike - Cannondale Gemini in 2006 team colours:

Had this one since 2007, coped very well with Morzine that year and Chamonix over the last week. Weighs a fair but but a push (sometimes literally) it even goes uphill.

Rough spec: 2006 Gemini frame, largely stock but upgrades include:
Rock Shox Domain forks, Formula Mega brakes, Sunline V One bars and stem.

Great bike and pics .............mount a lefty

Thanks, I'd love a Lefty but not on this bike. Current travel on the front is 160mm, but I think 180mm would be an even better fit. As far as I know they didn't make a Lefty long enough? Maybe I'll just have to get another 'dale...

After a second look think your right...
Safe the lefty for your second dale....
the more dales the better..

very nice
always hankered after these
didnt gracia ride similar one?

 

[Rumble]

Yes, I think Gracia had a Gemini DH model, not sure if if raced it but I'm sure if was associated with the model.

oh i see
they are very similar looking frames i have just realised
same platform, different travel etc.
