[chumaman]

A piece that is extremely confusing .... the wrong name of the model ?, the dropouts I have not seen on MTB Cannondale yet...etc.I'm not interested in these bike but I'm always interested in this kind of enigma .... does anybody know more?

I agree weird. There is no V for the Delta V. The drop outs are not Cannondale. I would need more photos to see what it is.

 

[chumaman]

Similar dropouts they have H ,T even R models before 1996

OR ....some V

So if the previous owner installed a 26 '' wheels....and the color scheme is the original one

I got M 600 1994 in that color scheme beautiful
but there are sticker labels confused ... just guess

Such dropouts appear only in two years 94 'and 95' ... I searched all the catalogs
1994

Even on the M series

1995

It does look like it's in good shape. It's missing the tiny anti-lawyer drop-out screws (and stated as such in the ad).

I don't know, some prices are still low, but it seems other items are taking off and going through the roof.

Maybe the owner, or someone else added the "Delta V 400" stickers after buying the bike?

It does have the correct style cable stop bridge on the seat stays for the rear brake and as far as I know, Cannondale only used that. Plus the seat post QR clamp is OEM.

and it caught my eye

over the color schemes can be accommodated in 1994, a surplus of the year's passing leftover
crazy sticker

 

[chumaman]

another mystical ... I found this in local ads

sometimes I get pissed off Cannondale and such (I call them)surplus of the year's passing leftover
does not have them in any official catalog

 

[black lightning 1987]

I think that's a 2000 M400 that someone switched to a suspension fork. Catalog says team yellow/charger orange fade was the optional color. Also used on the F400 and shown on the F400 catalog page.

Not sure that's a 1997. Thought the triangular head tube decal ended in 1996. Looks a lot like my 1995 M900 - "diamond black metallic with violet pearl hyper-highlight". The 1995 came with cantilever brakes though.
