Cannondale Headshok Forks

[isitafox]

As the title, anyone got a set cheapish??

I've got an '04 or '05 Lefty Jake in a box at work, I'd have to dig it out and what sort of condition its in though. Or are you after the short travel headshock that lives in the headtube?

 

[isitafox]

Either, debating whether or not to sell the frame as I don't really want to run a non 'dale fork but I'm struggling to find one 2nd hand at the right price!

 

[GSB]

Well, if you're interested in a Jake, I'll dig this one out next week and see what sort of condition it's in.

 

[isitafox]

Top man! Any idea on price roughly?

 

[GSB]

Honestly? Not a clue. I have asked in the what's it worth thread;

viewtopic.php?f=41&t=140396&start=370#p2114223

Where I've detailed a few other parts of the bike (including lefty wheels). I've no idea of value on any of it though. I'm a bit to new to this retro bike lark, but open to honest offers.

 

[isitafox]

If you get a price sorted I may be interested in a combo of the frame, forks and wheels or maybe the full build depending

 

[GSB]

Righto.

I've got to consolidate my lot of bicycle related bits anyway, so a few bits will be going on sale. I've got cupboards full of parts both at home and at work, and it's getting a bit out of hand...

I'll get the 'dale out this week and give it a once over, decide what if anything is worth keeping, and what can be re-homed here on Retrobikes. You can have first dibs on any / all of it.

Won't be 'til friday though, I'm a little busy this week...

 

[isitafox]

No worries dude, I've got to try and rid my frame which the forks would have been going on and a road bike to make room! (plus I don't get paid till Friday anyway!)

 

[GSB]

I dragged the lefty fork out today, and....

...you don't want it.

There's not a trace of compression or rebound damping in there, and it sounds like a coffee grinder. The frames pretty beaten up, and everything else is pretty rusty. Shame, it was probably a nice bike once.
