Cannondale questions... Magura and Wolber ?

[Boothy]

Just picked it up, so it's looking a bit tatty, but I reckon it's got potential for a commuter, dirt cheap too!

Any info appreciated.

Cheers,

what size is the frame? any idea on year?

 

[Boothy]

It's a big old 21 inch frame (probably a bit too bit for me) and the geezer said he'd had it 15 years. I think from the catalogues it looks like a '93. The brakes are not original, but I think every thing else is. LX front, cranks, hubs, XTR rear, coda bars, madison (?) seatpost, Viscount saddle, Wolber AT400 rims.

Yeah 1993 or 1994, if you go to www.vintagecannondale.com you should be able to accurately ID it.

I used to build the Wolbers quite a bit BITD. slightly cheaper than Mavic's at the time.

From memory the AT400 was a lighter version of the venerable AT-18 and AT-20 rims

very similar strength wise to mavic 231's, but slightly easier to dent.

it al ended when Mavic bought Wolber and closed em down

Boothy, those rims are Alloy, i think the sticker means they are as light as Titanium! (Very mis-leading!). I've got one on an old LX hub on my Cannondale, and it's beat to sh......

I had a set of AT18 rims laced to XTII hubs from 1990. I can say they were the best wheels and rims I have had. I dread to think how many miles those wheels did, many thousands I'm sure.
