As for contacting Cannondale, during my search for a replacement, I stumbled across a Cannondale FAQ forum in which someone was looking for the same part as I. The response was that they didn't stock parts for old buggers. Perhaps I would have had better luck if it would have snapped before they were bought out.
I think I'm going to try a piece of rubber from a car tire, and see if I can't bolt it to a hitch from a tag-along as a quick-connect to the seat post (there's pile of tag-alongs at the local co-op). Bolting the piece of tire to the bugger should be no trouble. I'll have to see if I can make this work, I'll check back in if I can. It's going to be a while, because I have to wait for the end of little league before I can volunteer at the co-op on Saturdays again. Thanks for all the ideas.
