    SAECO Cannondale Slice CAAD Optimo Timetrial

    It would be interesting to view old tour footage of the team and individual time trials and see what details you could see of the time trial bikes. My guess is that they would have had more sponsor decals than the one you posted has.

    I try not to look at for sale ads very often. I already have way too many bikes. Also don't want to encourage you to buy something you don't need. But if that was near to me I'd be going to look at it.

    SAECO Cannondale Slice CAAD Optimo Timetrial

    My guess would be 2004. I wonder if that could be a real team frameset with more recent components. The team rode with Campagnolo components that year I believe. The higher end production time trial bikes all had sort of odd graphic paint schemes that year - at least the ones shown in the USA...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    I saw the first flowering tree here yesterday, though temps were in the 40s most of the day. Normal for the date is 63. I'm looking forward to a ride without winter clothes. Will be warmer next week but rain is predicted most days.

    1998 H300/ONLY RIDDEN FIVE MILES!!

    I'd love to have that if it were a larger size. If it were a bit closer I'd probably buy it even though too small.

    1986 SR400

    I have a new modern Selle Italia saddle that is white with blue trim. I don't have much in it.

    A bit more of a practical option...

    1986 SR400

    Good to see that nice old bikes still turn up for little cost.

    It's a mystery T600/ mystery solved.

    I agree. I have heard that folks currently at Cannondale use this site but I have not noticed any postings that mention it. I've always wished we had some participation from employees, especially those from the USA years who could answer questions about specifications and paint.

    It's a mystery T600/ mystery solved.

    I'd guess there are some out there in Champagne. I don't see any other models that used the color. Seems unlikely that they would have painted only one frame for the catalog, then discarded the color.

    Dead of my frame ???

    I have a couple of frames here but both probably need repainting. Shipping cost is probably prohibitive.

    1985 ST400

    I can't remember much about what parts came with this when I purchased it several years ago, except it had the original Shimano 600 45/50 crank and brake calipers. I added 7 speed indexed bar cons, Fir tubular rim wheels and knobby 33 mm tires. I just use it for rides that involve some...

    It's a mystery T600/ mystery solved.

    I can't see the graphic well enough. My guess is that it's an alternate color that was introduced after the catalog came out. I didn't go beyond the 1994 catalog, but I think 1992 may have been the last year for down tube shifters on the touring bikes. After that they generally had bar cons.

    Dead of my frame ???

    I've not seen that before. My only guess is a flaw in the tubing when it was new. Looks like a really nice bike otherwise and lots of valuable parts on it. Will the seller take it back or give you a partial refund? Those frames are not too hard to find. Perhaps you can find a replacement...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Those are new to me. Beaver seem to be less of a problem around here lately. 20 years ago it was common to hire dams dynamited to keep streams from flooding farm land. Haven't heard of any issues recently.

    1987 SR400 Team Comp

    56 cm is what I would guess. I'd say paint and decals are original on both bikes.

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    Bikes are a hard sell in winter but it's unusual to see asking price go up with the temperature.

    Unknown 1998 CAAD2, please help identify.

    Good point. I saw the disc rotor and just assumed it was a disc brake fork

    1987 SR400 Team Comp

    Looks like it might be the same size as the first one.
