Tribute to Canny
Apr 9th, 2004 (Fri)
Celebrating our ten years together by doing the world's oldest bicycle race, Paris-Brest-Paris.
A 10-year tribute to Canny, my faithful 1992 Cannondale 3.0. In the last decade she has ridden numerous centuries and double centuries, a few Ironman triathlons, Paris-Brest-Paris, and explored foreign lands in addition to shuttling me to classes and running errands during college. My most beloved machine of all time, period. The photo tribute is here!

I finally put together a belated 10-year-anniversary tribute to my lil' race bike, Canny! I purchased her brand new in '93 as a '92 model, and from 1993-1996, she spent most of her time here on the Stanford campus. (Photo: L.A. Cicero, Stanford News Service)
In addition to shuttling me from class-to-class, she was my training bike, race bike, and commuter. Here she is in Spring 1996 on a run to Walmart (a store I have long stopped patronizing!)
During the winter quarter of my junior year in college as my ME103 final project, I made a bike rack for my lil' MG so we could all go together to my cycling adventures.
Speaking of adventures: our first double century together, the 1996 Davis Double! She still had her OEM Shimano RX-100 21-speed componentry back then... note the downtube shifters and white simple brake levers.
Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
