1988 Charlie Cunningham Racer #8C
The Charlie Cunningham Racer was a shorter wheelbase design that he preferred for tight and technical singletrack riding and racing. This particular vintage bike has many of the classic Cunningham features: sloping toptube, drop bars and LD stem, over-size seatpost, Type II fork, rollercam brakes, Grease Guard everywhere (including the Edco headset), Unicanitor saddle, and short cage derailleur.
