The guy on BF got back to me and said I can have the downtube mount, just needs an address. You want to pm me your address and I'll just have him ship them to you. He's leaving tomorrow for the Dairyland Dare, so wouldn't be until next week sometime before he could ship this. As for converting this to more modern indexed using brifters/ergos, you would need to replace the rear wheel, rear derailleur, and the shift/brake levers. Maybe the chain rings or crankset as well. You would need 130mm rear spacing which isn't done easily on an aluminum frame like a Cannondale. Not like steel, which you can cold set. It is only 2mm per side, assuming yours is set up for 6-7 speed (126mm). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PM'd the guy, will let you know the outcome. Also, another thread on bikeforums. Some shop in CA had them at one time (2011). Also some discussion of the NOVA kit. http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/742734-cannondale-black-lightning-help-i-m-lost.html

I'll try contacting him tonight. I guess I'm a bit unclear as to what your problem is, and I've never worked on a cannondale before. Is the shifter itself broken or is it just the shifter boss assembly? I would still try calling Kozy's or other dealers as you never know what they might have laying around. Particularly if it is an older mechanic or owner who knows these and knows how to fix them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kevin, I found this on bikeforums: http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1086619-cannondale-shifter-boss.html http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage-sales/1098978-shimano-group-cheap.html ^ Shimano group, sold, from a cannondale. I could pm the buyer and see if he would part with the shifters or at a minimum the cannondale mounting boss stuff... http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage-sales/1098978-shimano-group-cheap.html http://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/231963-interface-problem-mounting-indexed-dt-shift-lever-cannondale-3-0-a.html http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/717549-cannondale-downtube-shifter-bosses.html http://vintagecannondale.com/ Is this the replacement you bought? Supposedly according to one or more of the above threads, a Cannondale dealer could get the correct parts. Kozy's is a Cannondale dealer, but it looks like there are a number of them in the Chicago area. Might even have one laying around. http://www.cycle-frames.com/bicycle-frame-tubing/NOVA-LEVER-BOSS-KIT-FOR-AL-FRAME.html

IIRC some people on bike forums/classic and vintage forum know how to fix those. I can ask for you if you like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought Kevin had stated quite awhile ago that some of the good DC supplies (original Dynalo, certainly a GRLV) are quieter that batteries? Maybe he wasn't talking about current lithium ion or whatever (perhaps it was SLAs he referred to). Also, I thought USB cables had some controlled impedance conductors, etc. which would seem to preclude DIY cables from performing well? I could be wrong...

I guess you need to mind what you're doing around that thing, eh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had envisioned something more adult, like this, but the Mickey one is good too...

Happy Birthday!

Dunno if they would have anything, but you might look thru MillMax's catalog.

Yep, those are rather practical if you just want to ride in any shoe. I ran something similar on my Trek 500 in the last year or so. Since switched back to eggbeater (also MTB). I had enough of walking on cleats in the '80's, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. Even though he is a 'loser' according to a certain POTUS... Best wishes for him, as I think he is a quality individual regardless of my disagreements with some of his positions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few questions: 1) The air wires I presume are grounds? Ground(s) aren't accommodated in the connector pin pattern? (I didn't look at my boards obviously) 2) How did you attach the heat sinks? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure on the stat amps, but the GRLV is an excellent LV supply, and a step up from others such as Amb's sigma22, etc.

The GRHV is high voltage. Must have. It apparently contains a low voltage PSU using 7815/7915 chip regs on it. Instead of using the low voltage section of that, some people use the GRLV low voltage regulator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It seems a lot of theJapanese companies are this way. TKD anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I upgraded my 2012 Mini (i7) from 4G to 16G, I did notice it as well but from what I can tell, the extra 8G is rarely if ever used. SSD made a huge difference as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I told him about the Schitt, but he said he is going with a FIIO Q1. I also remembered that I have his Class D Audio SDS-254 with HD PSU, including upgraded Panasonic TSHA caps, in the basement and should sell this for him. This has both SE and bal. inputs, 250W/ch 4 ohm and 125W/ch 8 ohms. It is in a utilitarian Par Metals case, no frills. He had me build this for him after his Counterpoint SA220 blew a channel and I couldn't fix it. He liked it better than the Counterpoint, better than my Odyssey Stratos, and better than a pair of Bel Canto Ref1000s that a friend had loaned him. This was on Apogee speakers, which are pretty demanding. Any interest, pm me. This would be pretty inexpensive. Link: http://www.classdaudio.net/amplifier-kits/sds-amplifier-kits/sds-254-kit.html

My brother is looking for an inexpensive amp/DAC combo for use with his laptop (PC), and probably a set of Fostexes. He mentioned the FIIO E18, but is open to suggestions. He says he can get that for ~$60 on Amazon, and also mentioned a Topping NX2, which is even cheaper. I know, I know, non-HC approved, but it is what it is. He also mentioned that he mentioned that he doesn't have space for his headphone amp anymore, so is looking to sell it. It is an original Torpedo (I built it for him), IIRC from the prototypes build. PM me if there is any interest for this. He says he hasn't even used it while in South America, but I know he used it when he was still here in the US.

Hmmm, university student(?) and still spoon fed? This thread is 45 pages. Read them. If the content of that doesn't answer your previous post, then there are other threads showing builds, etc. Your previous post doesn't elicit confidence in you making a successful build
