I guess “downhill” is an accurate description in one sense.

Resprayed but still kind of rad! Not sure about the Rascal font though...

Not sure that paint job aged well. 21 years and 364 days on, it seems like the world would be a better place if we didn’t remember 9/11.

Also I’m not sure they made these as track frames, rear dropouts look a little interesting…

Ngl, I did not notice that it was a 9/11 tribute. I think it's a pretty cool paint job. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with remembering a tragedy.

I mainly posted it for the sketchy track ends, which they seem to have totally skipped over.

Just bolt that sucker on

Agreed it’s a nice paint job, cheers for sharing, was just grumbling and reminiscing about the world before 9/11.

Not a sociologist or psychologist, but I reckon there’s a difference between remembering tragedy and what the US does. At a point, it’s healthy to move on.

There is a fine line to cross before things can be understood as jingoism, especially when 9/11 and waving the amercan flag is concerned.

A quick googling and this seems to be the background story which for me makes these bikes more well-meaning if still quite shit

“Shortly after 9/11, five firemen from NYC went on a goodwill bike run from NYC to Los Angeles. Cannondale donated custom bikes for this trip. They were CAAD5 with upgraded parts and a very custom "stars and strips" paint job. In 2002 Cannondale decided to make a limited production run to sell them to the public.”
