This cold brains Cannondale sat outside of Fisheries all week, unlocked.
unlocked…
cold brains, unmoved
untouched, unglued
alone at last
no thoughts, no mind
to rot behind
a trail of disasters
“Cold Brains”
Beck 1998
Perhaps it’s been there more than a week, but I do that fishery route every third week, so I’m not sure. The fact that U-district bike thieves have bigger fish to fry in 2026, makes me chuckle.
Cannondales make good cheater bars. If this bike rolled into BikeWorks during my tenure, I’d tag it: “AS IS ONLY” I would not touch it with any tools. But if it was damaged, I’d strip any usable parts and hack-saw the downtube into an oversized cheater bar. This cold-brains Cannondale would fall on the cheater bar spectrum somewhere between the Gary Fisher and the Klein.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. But don’t give me your blown out HeadShok. Note the superfluous seat post clamp on the saddle.
