OT but not? 1970's Cannondale backpack

Bit of a weird one this.

I'm a Cannondale nerd and had this backpack as part of my weird stuff collection for a few years. It's from before Cannondale made bikes or cycling accessories. They're not common, to say the least. Even less so on this side of the pond.

I'll be honest not that good as a walking backpack compared to anything modern BUT weird and rare and a bit of the company's history. As such they do have some value, so I'd like to get £50 for this. Happy to post at cost. As you can see from the pics there's some dirt/marks on it. I've never tried to clean it.

@1oOne The main section is 70cm tall, 30cm wide and 20cm deep. That doesn't include the side pouches which are pretty large.

Hadn’t realised that Cannondale were ever a non-cycling brand!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
