Cannondale bicycles will be making a special guest appearance tomorrow night on the hit NBC sit-com "Frazier." The plot for this week's episode, entitled "Fraternal Schwinns," revolves around the show's main characters participating in a fund-raising charity bike ride.

Cannondale is donating the Road Warrior 700 ridden in the episode by series' star Kelsey Grammer, along with an official script from the episode, to a good cause. The bicycle and the script, both signed by Grammer, will be donated to Bicycling and Mountain Bike magazines' auction to benefit the Bikes Belong Coalition. The auction will take place in April at the Sea Otter Classic.
