| The original Choppers, like this one, had the gear changer on the crossbar. |
We ride our trusty bicycles most weekends. This blog charts our adventures and records our thoughts as we ride through the rural lanes of Surrey and Northern Kent – and there's some world travel thrown in too
I had one! it was called a Barracuda!.. BTW in the previous post you will note the sticker which says cannondale is made in the USA...sadly no longer the case- they are made in China now,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteHi, Simon. Hope all is well. I never had a Chopper. I think my mum and dad thought they were downmarket! I always wanted another bike, that look similar, but, if I recall, was more outrageously designed. Anyway, history. I like Cannondales, especially the Leftie, it's got a lopsided front fork.
ReplyDeleteyes mine is a leftie.. carbon and titanium. They dont "centre steer" like a dual fork ( or should that read just "fork" setup?). However there is a considerable weight saving and you get used to it. Also being inverted it adds strength to it was well. and its a hoot when people look twice at it!
