George,

You've got yourself a great deal. What a sweet bike. Now I will have to work
much harder if I ever want to keep up with you.

Happy trails,

Dan

Very cool- glad you got such a great deal! Let me know how you like the shifters- I have downtube shifters on my Fuji so I'm sure your in for a welcome change. See you on the road!

I just stumbled on the blogs on the KJRH site and found your post. I didn't know you and Dan were cyclists. Have you ever done the Wednesday Night Ride or are you usually working too late for that? Starts 4-5:30ish Wednesdays, look for the hundreds of cars, bikes, cyclists on S. Jackson Ave, at the parking lot across the street from the floating amphitheater on the west side of the river. You'll find a lot of cyclists to ride with and/or talk to and many stay late in the parking lot for socializing after riding, including my team, Team Crude. Congrats on the new bike. I got the one I ride from eBay also!

Also, if interested, check out http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/MidTownSocialClub/ for ride announcements, some jokes, etc.

George,

I came across your post while searching for information on Cannondale's older model road frames. Coincidentally, I'm currently a grad student at A&M. I recently bought a '91 3.0 Criterium R800. It's a pretty awesome ride, but the odd design of the rear dropout concerns me. I'm really sad to see what happened to your derailleur hanger.

The Cannondale catalogs are archived here (http://www.vintagecannondale.com/catalog.html), and the part that broke on your frame may be replaceable (the '90 catalog claims this design can "help prevent a simple spill from becoming a major expense). I came across this replacement derailleur hanger (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/FR408Z05-Wheels+Mfr+Hanger+For+Cannondale.aspx). The site says that the part is for Cannondale road frames from '91 - '06 though. However from your photo, the part looks like it may work on your frame.
