Just based on the serial number photo, the paint looks to be extremely nice.

It's going to be able to differentiate between the two 1984 ST models as the catalog we have only has specs for one. I'd guess the specs are for the ST-500 but even that isn't clear. Since the frames were the same, the model is essentially determined by the components that are on it.

I wasn't able to view the file.

Is BR86 a model? I think I have a later (circa 2000) new one. I bought several new ones from Bikewagon in 2013, don't think I've used them all.

I think you are in the right price range. I would turn the stem around.

Old MTBs make nice commuters. Clean it up, put some new cables, chain, and reliable tires and you should be good to go.

Your bike is a 1990 SR300. I'd guess $200 would be around top dollar for it.

I'm pretty sure that's a 1998 based on the decals. The color doesn't show in the catalogs but that's not uncommon for the era.

Thanks. I should attempt to count sometime, but Serotta and Cannondale are roughly equal in numbers in my collection.

That would be interesting. I used to have a case hardened shotgun. It was almost tiger striped. I think it was an H & R, don't remember what I did with it.

Even though I generally prefer color on bikes, I think the white looks good. Pics are my 1991 Serotta NHX in fluorescent pink and orange, and my 1990 Colorado II in pink and onyx. I have two pink Cannondales as well.

I think it's unlikely that they made an 11 speed compatible freehub body for that hub but you might check with DT. I'm guessing that you would need a new rear wheel to change to 11 speed. The 11 speed freehub body spline length is a couple of mms longer on 11 speed hubs. The only workaround...

It looks like a 2015 Synapse Tiagra Disc 6 to me.

That should work. Believe it was only made with a 35 mm clamp but new ones came with shims. Be sure to get a dual pull version. There's also a top pull version.

Guessing that eliminating as much housing as possible is partially a weight weenie thing, but it does reduce cable friction - especially helpful on the rear derailleur.

Try looking for the serial number on the underside of the seat stay, usually non drive side. It's approximately 1989 but I think the LX rear derailleur is later.

A really nice one (1986 I think) sold on eBay recently for $600...

Have you seen a 31.8 stem for a 1-1/4 steerer? You might need to get a quill adapter. Then you can use whatever stem you want. https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=23896

CAAD5 was introduced for the 2000 model year and ran through 2003. I don't see that paint in any of the catalogs but it's fairly common for different paint schemes to show up. I don't think the geometry changed but a large in 2000 became a medium in 2002. Here's the chart from 2000.

I think everything on Bluebook is undervalued. I think they buy bikes.
