Disc brakes on a 2000 Cannondale F700?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I am thinking about purchasing a year 2000 Cannondale F700. The bike has disc brakes in the front but I would like to add them to the rear as well.
Can anyone tell me whether this frame has mounts which would allow me to add disc brakes? :confused:
I have not seen the bike as of yet and the seller does not appear to be familiar enough to know for sure. I have seen photos that appear to show disc brake mounts for the rear but I was hoping to get confirmation from someone who has personal experience with this particular frame.
Thank you. :)

Now you have :-). It would have been done to keep costs and weight down (this is 2000 remember, disc brakes have gotten much lighter and cheaper since then), while still providing extra stopping power. Most of your stopping force is available from the front wheel, so it makes sense to have a beefer brake there. It's still quite common these days to see a bike with a smaller rotor on the back than the front.

As to whether you can stick a disc on the back, they specced a disc hub at the rear and seeing as the F700 SX came with discs front and back, I'd be suprised if there was no disc mount on the frame. I'm pretty sure I can see half of it in that photo too.

yea i think you could mount one on there because its a hard tail. i have disc brakes on my bike and it mounts like a front derailluer just around a round part of the back of the frame
