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.

More information about Charlie Cunningham bicycles can be found on the Charlie Cunningham Photo Archive page.
