But c’mon, did you expect no reaction from this:
Cross chained, but not really because no front dangler, but still has a front ring.
Disc/canti mullet.
Rolf rear wheel.
MTB shifters on drop bars.
Saddle slammed forward on a straight post.
Sort-of matchy anno parts but then cable housing is just whatever.
But at least the bottle cages matc…wait no they don’t!
Tire labels not aligned with valvestems.
@kmcdon if you want a matching “his” version of that Cannondale let me know, I have one in storage at my parents. Not sure when I can get at it tho #corona
I recall it being a touch too big for me (less than handful of post), so I guessed around 58cm.

There is a geo chart a few posts down from link above. I’m happy to measure when I see it next, but I don’t know when I’ll be in Atlanta again (was supposed to be there right now).
Finally did a novelty ride that I’d been joking/talking about for ages - the Bike Path 420(k) - exclusively on off-road cycle paths (and with minimal repeating or road riding). There’s been much talk of an impending lockdown in my city (Melbourne, AU), so I figured that it might be my last chance to go on a decent ride for a while.
I started at 4:45am and finished in 22 hours. The terrain was very flat so it was fairly easy on the legs, though my shoulders and neck were mad sore at times from craning my neck to see thru my glasses. Was getting endless wedgies only in the last 150k (idk why???), so next time will bring a spare pair of undies to change into lol
Old car hillclimb track out in the suburbs which now sees use as a walking track. It’s real short, but the road surface is pretty messed up and it tops out at 40% gradient. No I did not make it up.
Also my front light went flat 2 hours short of finishing so maybe it is time to embrace the watt theft and get a dynamo
Hah, It was actually a nice little side trip around the halfway point for the sheer novelty/to break up the mind numbing monotony of endless flat paths…
That’s a damn nice ride, truly unsupported and under 24h is pretty sweet IMO. Especially if you just went out and knocked it out without a bunch of thought or training before hand.
