A friend of mine is still riding a Cannondale Super V. It’s a cool looking bike and nice for XC, but he let me ride it in hilly terrain one day and it bounced a lot pedaling uphill.
I wish I could tell you. The trails are closed around here due to flooding and I haven’t ridden it yet.
Since this photo I changed the stem to a Titec titanium, and got one of the tomato seat post clamps. I’m running it as a 650b.

If your 2001 Factory Limited is in nice condition, I’d consider buying it. I’m in no hurry to get one, but I would like one someday.

If you’re talking to me it isn’t for sale. I’ve just built it and it’s not been ridden yet. the parts are almost all NOS including the frame and I got a lotta $$ in this one. Plus I usually don’t sell my bikes. A Farelli above might still have his frame. Check out above.
I have an 09 Specialized Epic I like to ride, but have an Schwinn 01 Rocket 88 frame I am assembling the bits to build.

Livernose, that’s been my experience as well regarding the caps. I think new conditioned ones in packages can sell for around $50 day in and day out. $10 is really cheap for a used one—someone scored.
A few years ago, there was a shop around me that had a bunch laying around from being an old Schwinn dealer. I picked up a handful at about a buck a piece.

If no one here has an extra, keep an eye on eBay. I picked one up last week there for $10 shipped.
I missed that one. $10 is unusually cheap. There was a black one recently that went for over $45 which was unbelievable. I’m used to paying at least $25 for one in decent shape. Seems like black ones are harder to find.

I’m looking to buy a 2000 or 2001, 19″ Gold Homegrown Factory Limited in excellent condition. I am open to frame only or complete bike.
You ever find your frame?

Good. The guy musta modified the sizes. The ones I got the top tube was 1.5” to 2” longer and maybe 50% taller than an original decal.
Are they the proper size? I ordered a set a few years back and they were WAY OFF on size. Much larger than the originals. I used the little tomato decals but still have the others in the drawer.
