Normally, I don't really care what folks do to their rides. It's their ride and they can ride what they want... But saw this today and just could not help posting.

This person probably won't touch a bike again after being set up like this on this bike. :confused::butt: I can't imagine how this would even ride.

Looks like a nice city bike for a short person, rack looks a little crazy but other than that ...

That bike looks awesome; like you could manual / wheelie it all day long!

don't think cannondale had this version. cost more to restore as sold than it's worth.

if you modify it, ride it. I don't get people that modify a bike so it would suit their needs and then turn around and sell it. the rack hanging off the top of the seatpost will raise the center of gravity which will throw off the handling. did they toss the stock handlebar and shifters?

Yeah! That is what I thought. They might have been better buying a hybrid in the first place, but it looks like it would be a great upright set-up for a short person.

I guess I do not get these snobby posts. A bike is a bike. Go and fricking ride!
