Well guys. Has been since 2006-ish since I last built a trx250r ( I have built and owned over 10)
Time has come for me. After messing with cdales for the last year I plan on getting back to my roots. After selling .net I got out of it, and really do miss it!!!
I will post build progress on this post as I get parts together
I will be using a lot of my cdale parts ( elkas, front end, rims tires....) on this build. It's crazy how much of a copy the cannondale moto was to a trx250r. At least in the front end design.
I am hoping to use my 86 frame that I've had kickin around.
Want to find or make a no link swingarm. I am going to run the 15.5" no link Elka that I have
As for the motor .... I still have tons of parts kicking around. I picked up a set of mint cases. Going to start there :-)
I will also be powder coating every piece of this quad in house.
Will have pics soon!
-
Sounds great! Glad to hear another R is gonna breathe new life
-
Can't wait to see this one come together! Btw that track you are riding on looks awesome.
-
sounds interesting.

keep us updated! good luck on the build!!
-
Thanks guys! Will have pics very soon
Media blasted the frame yesterday... Will be gusseting and powder soon
-
Some updates
-
Had to repair some parts of this one....
Previous owner had the lower mount pretty damn cobbled
-
And for the powdercoating
Not bad for a 27 year old frame that almost got scrapped by the previous owner!
I went with "super mirrror red"
-
Looks like a great foundation to start with man, I'm gonna stay tuned in for this one as well as the others also.

Off to a great start, i can't wait to see the finished bike. Those are very nice weld's you did on the engine mount. What mig welder are you using for that?

Hey we use a hobart "handler 140"
115v
Works awesome!
Great for the thin metals we work with every day....
Always repairing utility atv frames non stop
-
Its confirmed. As i thought
The cannondale moto front end is pretty much a direct bolt up
Had to play with spacing and caster a bit
But overall very simple
The shocks also Are long travel, i only had to machine the upper spacers on my lathe to fit the trx frame
-
Lovin the red .... Its funny ive always gone black, blue, white... On all my quads
Time to keep oem colors :-)

That's really good to know because I got a 120V 140A miller & I was wondering if it would work good enough to weld in a gusset kit on my frame. Are you using 75/25 with .030" wire? Thanks for the info & keep up the good work.

looks like your having a good time redoing the quad the way you want it...
on a business note can you still get any black Nacs stem clamps???
