Starting things off wrong

HAHA! this is my first BLOG ever and my first tow posts were off topic.(a sign of things to come?)

My idea for the scope of this blog is for it to center around my Cannondale mountain bikes and the things I do To, With and Because of them. With a focus on Cannondale's headshok and lefty forks.

So, i guess this is a good time to introduce you to my Bikes.

I have two cannondale mountain bikes. My Main bike is a 2007 Rush 4. and as luck would have it I just happen to NOT have any photos of it where i can access them. But there will be plenty of them in the posts to come.

My other bike's are a 1993 Delta V 700
(this one i DO have plenty of photos)

I picked this one up from Craigslist.org a few months ago for $180.00 USD.

I FRICK'N LOVE THIS BIKE!

According to vintage cannondale this bike was made in 1993, making it the second production year for the Delta V.  This frame would go through some name changes over the years. Going from Delta V XXXX to Killer V XXXX and then to F XXXX. with the "XXXX" being some numbers like 800, 1000, 2000 and what not. With the introduction of this bike came the introduction of the first fork that had it's telescoping in the head set. It was called "The Delta V suspension System" This would go on to be re-branded as the HeadShok. I might be wrong about this, I am in no way an expert on the history of Cannondale.

I just happen to be a BIG Cannondale fan. Mostly a fan of their headshok  and Lefty forks.

I think the Lefty is the coolest thing since the snow cone. As for Cannondale as a company, well, i wish them the best of luck now that thy are owned by the Dorel corporation and have turned their back on a history and company culture of HAND MADE IN THE U.S.A!. (BOOOOOOO)

In 2005 I started lusting over the Cannondale Prophet! So i started saving up my pennies. By the time my birthday in 2007 rolled around the Rush had come out. So that was the one i got. It was bought from Higher ground in Tallahassee FL.
I have no regrets in getting the rush over the Prophet. I rely love my Rush, I just have a strong attraction to the Prophet with its double triangle front.
 
Ever since getting this the Rush I have become a die hard lefty fan.

I just got a cannondale Super V 700 SX that has a Lefty DLR (the first lefty) that I'm in the process of servicing so I can install it on my Delta V 700. One of my main inspirations is KillerV800's blog. This guy has done some awesome things to his bikes. Check him out.
