About this product
This is a vintage 1997 Cannondale Super V 1000 FR Mountain Bike, size large, featuring full suspension.

It's designed for unisex adults, providing a classic full-suspension ride experience.
Our take
Stepping back to 1997, this Cannondale Super V 1000 FR is a genuine piece of mountain biking history. The full suspension aluminum alloy frame would have been a top performer in its day, and with 24 speeds and Shimano Deore XT, it's ready to hit the trails, or be a centerpiece in a collection. The large frame size and 26-inch wheels are characteristic of its era. While it's a functional bike, keep in mind that vintage bikes like this may require more maintenance than newer models, and finding replacement parts for older components might be a challenge for some. The rim brakes are also less powerful than modern disc brakes.
