Cannondale Pepperoni 1" Forks

[messiah]

I picked up a one of these forks recently for tiny sum . They seem very light and well made but seeing as I was not a Cannondale fan back in the day I don't know much about them.

Anyone on here care to share any experiences or comments?

as you stated light and well made and a bit scarce these days

Think my forks on my cannondale are pepperoni's, how can you tell?. How much do they fetch? cause I'll be getting rid of mine when I get some pace eventually.

Made of aluminium. Have quite a low "rake" on them.

Quite distinctive forks. When aluminium was "cool" in the old days.

Good though. Ideal for a Cannondale build obviously (I'd keep them on it Ape)

Low rake?, anyone got a pic of em so I can compare?, nah gonna stick some RC36's on Jez, ride is a bit on the harsh side with it back and front as its a very stiff frame and its a bit tiring on the hands after a bit so would be nice to soften it up a little bit.

You should ride a fully rigid Klein with some thin porcipaws as your only contact area. Now thats rigid OWWWWWWWWW!

Just had a look on google and I'm fairly sure they are pepperoni's, are they worth out?, I'd love to have a play on a klein bet they're fantastic, I love a really rigid back end makes a nice change from the downhill bike with no pedal feedback and nice and responsive but just think because I use the cannondale as a regular bike would be a bit more comfortable with some suspension at the front end. Still loving that bike on your avatar, bet thats a lovely ride.

wow--didnt know they made them in 1"--ive got a few pairs that are 1 1/4", one of which has the dreaded aluminum steer tube which c-dale had on some kinda recall on--dont know why--very light fork tho--i was going to use them on a current project but wanted a straight fork instead--the pepperonis have (as mentioned) a rake

Again, like all retro stuff. I'm sure someone out there would give mucho-grande dollar for 1" Pepperoni (sp!?) forks to finish off their ride.

Take some pics and advertise them

(sp?)???, huh, is there anyway of knowing for definate if they are pepperoni's?, were there any other types of forks that used to come on old cannondale's with a slight rake?. Dunno what year mine was when I got it was mainly kitted with stx and is black at the front and fades to metalic green at the back and has a wishbone seat stay. Dunno if that helps.
