    V-brake upgrade

    The 1997 frames came with V brakes. I don't think there were any changes to the frames.

    Need a Replacement for Rear Derailleur Altus M192

    I think that the M192 is the front derailleur. My guess is you have an Altus M370 rear. Check the back of the derailleur for a model number. I would check Wheels Manufacturing for a replacement hanger. https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers/cannondale.html

    To repaint or not too repaint.

    Can you get original decals? If not, I would probably leave it as is.

    Highest touring model seen

    I think the A in the CAAD2 decal is supposed to be interpreted as two A's, with a smaller one inside the larger one. Substitutions to catalog spec were fairly common for Cannondale.

    Unknown model, year, geometry R500 Caad 4

    Circa 2001, looks to be size 50. See how the geometry of your frame compares to the 50 in the chart. I think there was a 50 feminine in 2001, but the scan we have is virtually unreadable.

    Just another what bike do I have?

    Only the SM800 shows in the 1991 catalog as being jade green, but that could be a replacement frame or sold as a frameset. It's not an SM800 as they had a sloping top tube. It has 26" wheels? Steel fork? That would make it SM700 or below. Check the component lists in the catalog and see if...

    Rear Derailleur Hanger

    Wheels needs to work on their Cannondale model list. There's nothing there before the CAAD era but they list that hanger as fitting 1991 frames. There were no CAAD frames until the 1996 hybrid and MTB frames and 1997 for road frames.

    SM800 restoration project

    Is that a 20" frame or a 22"? I have the same frame and fork here, 22" frame. If I ever get around to packing it, it's probably headed to Idaho Brett to build up. I think it would look great with a full 1993 Shimano LX build, as everything is black.

    To restore or not? 1988 SM600

    Since you need a new freewheel (not cassette) anyway, you might as well see if you can convert the bike to 7 speed. I'm assuming that you still have the original wheels. You will need to see if there's room for another cog. According to Sheldon Brown a Shimano 7 HG freewheel is only 2.4 mm...

    Rear Derailleur Hanger

    I think the Wheels Mfr. #17 is the right one. I can pull one off a CAAD2 road frame and check it on a 3.0 but it will take me a while. https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers/cannondale/derailleur-hanger-17.html

    Swap out rock shox on 97' f300?

    That model actually came with a RS Quadra 5 and Acera X V-brakes. I could see putting a rigid fork on it, but you'd want to find one with an axle to crown distance that's similar to the Rockshox so the handling doesn't change much.

    1994-ish Super V....?

    August is late enough in the year to have been 1994 production. I can remember new models showing up in shops late in the summer.

    SM600?

    The rub on the large cog could be from incorrect chain length. Does it happen with all three chainrings? My first Cannondale was a 1989 with XCD. I put almost 8000 miles on it with only replacing the chain a couple of times, and one freewheel. I don't recall either of the issues you're...

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    Looking back at the photos, it appears that you bought the 1994 T1000. That bike should have been 7 speed Shimano and should have had a cassette hub. Perhaps post photos of all the parts and we can figure out what you have.

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    Gripshift for SunTour is probably going to be hard to find. I have a few sets for Shimano 7 speed. I'm not sure I have 7 speed SunTour MTB shifters but I'm sure I have 6 speed. SunTour made 7 speed freewheels with 30 or 32 large cogs. There's a NOS with a 32 on eBay if you want to spend...

    Cannondale M2000 (maybe) frame and forks

    That's an 18" 1992 3.0 frame, could be M700, M1000, or M2000. It has been stripped and polished but it looks like the finish hasn't been maintained. I would just check eBay and see what 3.0 framesets in similar condition have been selling for. UK or New Hampshire?
