I *think* that I am right to say I saw an old Cannondale cross bike with discs and a wee headshock...? Googling is not getting me anywhere....So am I right?

I made this from a F500 frame, I never tried it with drop bars, although looking at it in comparison to the cx bike above it could have worked ok as cannondales do have quite high front ends with a headshok

It worked really well in this guise, I'm not really sure why I sold it tbh

In 2004 they made a street-x model which was the bike with a headshok and discs, it had the same frame as the cyclocross bikes and was intender as a winter/commuter bike- put cannondale street x into google images.
