Thanks Kurt. It is all apart at the moment. I keep trying to find the time to work on it. It is receiving a black Cannondale triple crank and black Paul Racer centerpulls. I also have racks and panniers to go on it along with a nice black single wheel trailer to pull behind. The only thing left to do is plan a north to south trip to Little Coral Gables!

I already own the single wheel black Nashbar trailer.
Honestly, I find the old Cannondale two wheel trailer to be rather ugly. Besides, they are really designed for pulling a child (or children) not the gear for a bicycle adventure.
But with that said, a few years back, when Sailor Benjamin still lived in Maine, he posted a picture of his daughter asleep in one of the Cannondale trailers. It had to be the most precious bicycle related picture I've ever seen on BF.

Put yourself in the shoes of a shop manager. You have Trek and Specialized as your mass sellers, and you sell a few high end Kleins as well. You're not going to stock the ends of the size range. All extreme sizes would be special ordered. Now put yourself in the shoes of a guy who spent a lot of money on that once in a lifetime special bike purchase. You'd have a hard time parting with it. So you have a very small supply in the hands of people who are less likely to sell. I've been looking for an XL 1994 Specialized FS-R for years. Some bikes are like hen's teeth.

Tell me about it. At least you don't have to read your own posts.

+1 I used one of these to haul a BUNCH of gear up to a Provincial Park this summer, not designed for hauling gear , quite awkward.
