    Serial number that doesn't seem to fit the formula

    6 56 1089 0090 After checking a number of other frames and measuring my rear dropout spacing, I'm confident that these 3.0 Criterium frames follow the rules for 1988 - 1992 version 2 frames, except that the frame measurement is in centimeters instead of inches. So the 6=126mm rear dropout...

    Changing inner chainring on vintage road bikes from 42t to 39 or 38t.

    I didn't need the tool or a friend, those little 5mm bolts just popped right off. Weight weenies will be happy to learn that the Vuelta 38t comes in at 36 grams, a full 8 grams lighter than the stock 42t Shimano RX100. The difference is very noticeable (four fewer teeth, not the eight gram...

    It's definitely a Chrome related issue as I have no problem logging in on Microsoft's Edge browser.

    Changing inner chainring on vintage road bikes from 42t to 39 or 38t.

    There's a video on YouTube from a guy with a vintage Cannondale with an RX100 52/42 chainring who was having trouble on the hills in the Pittsburgh area. I can definitely relate. After a week or so on my new-to-me 3.0 SR400 I knew I needed to lower my lowest ratios. The good news is he swapped...

    I think it would be a good idea to separate the site into two distinct halves, mountain and road, at the very highest level. They really are two different animals with two distinct audiences. IMO it would save time and be more enjoyable.

    3.0 Criterium Series SR400

    It's all original except for the seat. A chain measurement says it had less than 1000 miles on it when I got it. The period Cannondale seat bag was still attached. I'm torn between finding the original Vetta seat to make it a catalog queen or modernizing it into it a better daily rider but I...

    Serial number that doesn't seem to fit the formula

    I have a 1990 model year SR 400 3.0 Criterium frame with this serial number stamped into the chainstay: 65610890090 The seller said it was a 54cm but I think it's a 56 because it measures 22 inches or 55.88 cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube and 23.5 inches or...

    Hello from Atlanta

    I'm rediscovering the joys of biking and recently added a Cannondale to my stable. I also collect vintage audio gear and soviet era watches and drive a 1967 BMW Coupe and there's something about these early Cannondales that screams collectible to me. I drive my old car, I wear my old watches, I...

    What is it and hi

    First post. I'm buying my first road bike in forty years and this turned up. This is the only pic and the seller is clueless about size and model except that it may be a 1989. Thanks!
