Just surfing the web tonight thinking about how I wanted a Cannondale in the early 80s and wishing I still had my red handlebar bag, my googling brought me to an '82 Cannondale catalog with a listing of distributors at the end. Looking through the list I came across a few familiar names. Among them are Fay's and Lee's from Tulsa. I have a couple of Takaras that came from Fay's and Lee's was a familiar shop until Phat Tire bought them five or six years ago.

I just thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted to use it as a trailhead to memory lane and see if their favorite shops were there. Hopefully some are still in existence, but I'm afraid very few are. 1982 Cannondale Catalog

I was a foolish youngster... I delivered newspapers to a Cannondale dealer in 1982, and didn't even know of Cannondale.
Now I own several.

Thanks for posting that catalog, brings back memories. I still use a red Cannondale bag from that time period that I recently rediscovered in my basement.

I bought and used one of their tents from one of the distributors on that list, the Bikesmith in N.O., which has been out of business for some time. I worked there in the 80s.
