Cannondale Jekyll with 888 forks and carbon bits seems odd and cant make out why they have done what they have?

seems built up quite AM like too, apart from the forks.
been recently powder coated, probably to cover up the cracks from having such big forks.

I saw that the other day. Where the hell does the rear wheel go when compressed?

It's got 2[u]9[/u] gears too. Quite clever given that 29 is a prime number ๐Ÿ˜†

ah you see, its 9 10 speed, but the 10th gear can only be used in 2nd and 3rd on the front, giving you, 29 speed ๐Ÿ˜‰

although its only got 9 speed shifters. There special and when hes in 2nd or 3rd in the front it magically adjusts when hes in lower gears and higher gears so he can get 1st and 10th on the back.

I like how the seller has put

Cash only- NO Paypal

outside transactions on Ebay are not safe and aren't covered by them. So you buy it of him in a park in the middle of nowhere and on the journey home the front of the bike falls of. now your buggered.
