Serial is 6 54 0392 2xx3 (spaces added for clarity as in examples on this site) This is a Type 2 Serial number from 1992. The frame size is NOT a '65.' It is a S4 though. So that first number - the 6 - is the rear dropout spacing, and your reference clearly states that "6" is a 126mm...

You may well be right. People out there riding noodles. I have been riding Cannondale Aluminum for so long I frankly do not see this bike as particularly harsh - even before the refurb. I will say that with the carbon touch points it is still better than my CAAD 10 ever was with all alloy...

Restoration Modification Restomod? Nope. Refurbishment with Modernization. Yes. So, a Modfurbishment. 1992 Cannondale 3.0. First picture as found and rescued. It did not have a model decal, so this was sold as a frameset by Cannondale. The former owner owned it from new and it was custom...

Oh joy. Truly glad to see the forums back! Nice job. Was worried for a while there.

Ah... this is useful. Will study this... http://vintagecannondale.com/cannondale/shimano/1987%20Shimano.pdf

Your XCD 6000 is covered in that last document as RD-XD00-GX; by capacities alone it seems compatible. My understanding is that my freewheel is a New Winner, the WP parts in that document are for Winner Pro. The AL part number is for an Alpha, which was a down- market Winner Pro. So I am not...

Change of plans really. I do not think I am going to go with bar ends. It turns out I do not mind down-tube shifters at all. Probably because I put 15K on a Peugeot in my teen years. If I do this right, I should be able to convert to indexed bar ends in the final analysis. I am thinking...

Yep, those looks good. There seem also to be plenty of Shimano STI cable guides that have the flat back as well. I probably will go with a pair of the flat-backed ones. They are pretty reasonable. In looking at the Bar End shifter, should I stick with the 6/7 Suntour or is it worth looking...

Yep. Let em go for that reason. Will keep watching. Have some other things I want to do first really. An idea where to source the braze on cable guides that would be needed if going with bar end shifters? Eventaully a whole series of Cannondales employed these, but I never see them come...

Gravel bike makes sense given clearances. Just what I need for a kayak mule. Calipers/brakes do fit on 700C, but only when the pads are adjusted all the way down - There is no more downward adjustment. That said, the pads are positioned about optimally when they are all the way down. So...

The bike as found. I do now have the original Avocet touring saddle that belonged to this bike, and it is in 7/10 condition. Logos are clear and clean. Saddle was lad down on pavement along the way, but it is superficial. The seller contacted me today and gave me the original fluted, silver...

I came across a Craigslist ST500. Not beat by any means, but a little rough in the paint department. All original except for pedals and the rear mech. Missing the reflectors. It's red, which in this case is more like burgundy, maroon. Going to disassemble it and refurbish it this winter...

A guy I know has a 1999 Saeco. It is a a bit special in that it is black and gold. I cannot find this in the catalogs. The Serial indicates a build date of 99... The bike came with a broken fork, and he needs to replace it. It is definitely 1" and it is definitely threaded. To throw a...

Hmmm... No ready to comit to tubulars for this bike... (2000 Saeco). Drive train is Shimano so MA3s are out. The mixed pair look relatively nice. What do you want for those? Kind of had my heart set on Mavic just to keep it in the family. The color on the Ambrosio is niiiiice.

A couple more...

Found this on Craig's List. Looks to be 95% original with the only questions being the (straight) Thompson post and the saddle (should be a CODA). Other than that it appears to have the original tires on it. It is cleaner than I have ever seen a 20 year old bike, and this is not the kind of...

Looking for a very nice set of CXP33 in Red Ano or Mavic Heliums for a Saeco build. LMK what you have... eoof!

>> is there any way to identify the full serial without removing the fairlead? I do not think so. I will say this. I remain convinced that this format is not accounted for in the literature I have seen. Based on having seen this format quite a few times now and based on sizing the bikes I...

Hey, thanks... The tech spec for CXP23 is here: https://tech.mavic.com/tech-mavic/technical_manual/data/docs/products/2_109.pdf This is also a nice resource for more Mavic: http://www.tearsforgears.com/2011/12/different-mavic-cxp-rims.html Looks like recommended tire width has a max of...
