Everyone makes mistakes… Everyone has those days
that little protecting bar around the backlight is just sooo class.
Dang that’s clean
Holy smokes, look at that rear hub!
I still visit marketplace to see if my old 1998 Cannondale Super V 900 makes an appearance. It went to a great home, and was a 16 year old kid’s first ‘real’ bike (I bought it new when I was 16). I’d love to see that old friend again.
I remember when you posted the bike. Around 2019/20 maybe?
It was one inspiration that started my interest in vintage MTBs and 26″ in general! Bought a MB-3 a couple weeks after this and mounted the same rack and stainless fenders because of you. 🙂
hope you get that bike back someday
Why did you sell?
Yeah you fucked up dawg
Dude… that looks like a forever bike
Rough.. that size is so tuff to find too
I would also like my Surly pacer back that I sold on reddit 10 years ago. Miss you
Very nice! I hope you find it. I’m curious how you got the 7th click out of those shifters.
This geometry and clearance between frame and mudguards is just perfrect.
I’ll buy it from you after you buy it back. LMK
I’ve fortunately never sold a bike, but I gave away an xtractxle free radical attachment before I made a sort of sudden move out of state about 7 years ago. Got rid of my whole parts bin(well a good portion of it) also. Big regret
