1986 Cannondale

The phrase "suicide shifter" on a road bike usually means either stem shifters, or these. Those are just regular old downtube shifters, still used in a lot of pro tours today.

not to many hills here in indy, I also find myself hardly ever shifting. It was a bitch trying to find the assembly that bolts through the frame.

sorry, don't know how that tag got on there, but thanks for letting me know so I can remove it. Will be posting my fixed very soon though.

I really need some help on getting an ideal of what the hell this parts group is though

TX again,

JT

awesome frame...nice color

yea, its when cannondale actually ground down the welds & finished them nicely.

TX for the line

the cdales are actually are mitered, hand welded and then heat treated. on the parts group, i believe they used shimano 600. thats what i've seen on my friends cdale and others.

I'm going to try to take some macros of the insigna on the parts & post them. Hopefully someone out there will know

It's actually 'AX'. It was a short-lived 'aerodynamic' groupset. They did a DA version as well. Lots of interesting features, like those brakes, 1" pedal spindles and headsets that require proprietary tools to tighten.

Nice frame.

I've got 2 sets of those brakes, the other set came off my 82 Trek that I also have posted here. I still have all the parts groupings, pedals, cranks, brakes, seatposts, stems, headsets ect.

Are they even worth a crap?

Where can I get some brake pads, any ideas?
