Hello from Northern Westchester County NY

[espcane]

Longtime Cannondale owner/rider. Still have my 88 SM1000, rode an 88 SM700 until the frame cracked, replaced it with a SuperV Frame (late 90s/early 00s, and then built another SuperV.)

One of the SuperVs is just a frame in the basement, considering building it out and came across this great site!

Where did the SM700 crack? You should get that SV project built up.

 

[espcane]

the SM700 cracked just above the rear dropout. Frame was about 10 years old with thousands of miles on it.

Hopefully I can find the time this winter to dig into the SV!

I've seen that crack before I think. Just above the weld where the dropout is welded to the seat stay? Local dealer told me that the road frames of that era would crack near the front derailleur but I've yet to see one crack there.

Glad you found the community. Build up that Super V and post some build pics in the forums.
