Actually this should be titled Bike Porn #5 or 6 even. But I’m doing up a summarised posting for bikes 1 to 5 which isn’t finished yet, ’cause I’m lazy and haven’t photoshopped the pictures for that post yet. So in the mean time, here’s my latest acquisition……
It’s a 2003 Cannondale Jekyll frame with rear Fox Float RL (remote lockout) shock. Tasty frame, and from a brand that I’ve always fancied. I can remember, as a young fella, being fascinated by the Cannondales that used to come through Shannon airport, normally accompanied by yanks, over here on their cycling holiday. Cannondales have always been a healthy step up from the more ubiquitous Treks and Giants which have become so popular in Ireland (case in point….I’ve got two Treks). This is what the completed article looks like once fully built up.
Need one of Cannondale’s unique Lefty front shocks (so named because the shock is only one sided, there’s nothing holding the front wheel on on the right hand side – click on the photo above to see what I mean). Some brakes, gears and small parts are needed as well. Then Ballyhoura here I come!!!
