Two Cannondale Omega yellow mountain bikes with mechanical gears and rim brakes, aluminium frames in size M, model Omega, manufactured before 2000, located in Belgium and in used condition.
Description from the seller
Set of two yellow Cannondale SM Omega mountain bikes bearing the inscriptions “Omega” and “Top Cycle Antibes,” as well as the markings “Limited Edition 77 of 200” and “Limited Edition 140 of 200.”
These examples presumably correspond to the yellow series associated with the 1990 model year. The exact year of manufacture remains to be confirmed. Both bikes are functional and rideable, in a used condition with signs of aging.
COMMON EQUIPMENT
* Cook Bros. triple chainrings
* Front and rear Shimano Deore XT derailleurs
* Shimano STI shifters
* Cannondale 285 stems
* Cantilever brakes identified by enthusiasts of the model as Grafton Speed Controllers, pending confirmation
* Rigid forks, straight handlebars and metal pedals
The assembly is not guaranteed to be entirely original: the derailleurs are likely later replacements. The exact references of certain parts still need to be identified.
BIKE N° 77/200
* Top tube measured at about 55 cm; nominal size probably 16 inches, not confirmed by a marking.
* Black Soffatti saddle
* Front tire IRC Mythos XC; rear tire also bearing the IRC / Mythos inscriptions
* Rear hub Shimano Deore XT, probably FH-M732
* “Vantage” inscription visible on the rear rim
* Dark grips, brand not identified
BIKE N° 140/200
* The larger of the two: top tube measured at about 57–57.5 cm; nominal size probably 18 inches, not confirmed by a marking
* Black and yellow Selle Italia saddle, rails bearing the inscription “FeC Alloy”
* Front tire Michelin XC X’trem; rear Michelin tire, exact model not identified
* Front hub Shimano Deore XT HB-M730 and rear hub Shimano Deore XT FH-M732
* Tioga marking visible on a handle
The brands or references of other components, notably chains, seat posts, stems, handlebars, pedals, and certain rims, are not established.
CONDITION
Frames and components show dust, grime, scratches, wear and paint chips. Inscriptions and serial numbers remain legible. Some fixings, controls and transmission parts show oxidation.
Chains are dirty, with corrosion traces especially on bike n° 140; wear has not been measured. Tires show aging signs, and their long-term pressure retention has not been tested. Grips and saddles show signs of use. The exact condition of brake shoes, cables and housings remains to be checked.
The bikes roll, but no recent professional service is documented. A mechanical inspection and replacement of consumables is recommended before regular use.
PICKUP
In-person pickup only in Tournai, Belgium, by appointment. No shipping arranged by the seller.
