I didn't know that there was AL in the Washington monument or that it had been used for bike frames in the 30s. Bolted together (presumably lugged) frames don't sound like a great idea. Friend has an Alan and another had a Vitus 979 which he described as a noodle. Sean Kelly might...

Even though I've looked at the 1987 catalog many times I never took a good look at the SR1000 - just because I'd never seen one for sale. Scrolling through the catalog I knew it was Superbe Pro but I never noticed the white finish on the parts. It seems to me that I have or had a white Sprint...

Way overpriced in my opinion but I'd love to have one of these. I have Superbe Pro on a titanium Serotta, really nice stuff. Would be hard to find in white if you ever damaged anything...

Thanks for all the information. My impression was that the bugger was made before the bikes.

Am I mistaken or was this one of Cannondale's first products?

I'm glad you got what you need. Sorry you had to spend that much for them.

I think there were some factory made with bars under the seat.

Thanks. Probably a 25" SH would be ideal. Might consider a 23" or a 22" H.

It's one of the 700C forks with 25 mm travel. The Silk Path hybrids also have 25 mm travel. I have four Silk Road frames here which all have only 15 mm travel I think. I didn't go back and check but I think the Polish seller had 3 different tools at one point. The tool I got was right...

I think the fork I am working on would have originally had an elastomer. Wondering if this was a mod/upgrade. There isn't a whole lot of resistance when moving it in either direction. I found a cut O ring inside the steerer tube after removal. Guessing about 3/16" in section and 7/8" in...

So I got the tool from Poland but it is too tall to fit in the gap on the fork I am working on. So I decided to make my own tool. Started with a rusty 7/8" Armstrong 3/8" drive socket. First step was to cut it to approximate height with a hacksaw. Then stuck it in the lathe and faced it down...

I don't know what happened to my original reply. The early Cannondales did have a steeper than usual seat tube angle in the smaller sizes. I don't know what the theory was for that. 58 cm and larger frames were more in line with the geometry of other manufacturers. What size is your frame?

I have cousins in Columbia that I haven't seen in a while.....

I hope they have what you need.

Yes mid to late 80s ST and just my size. Where is it?

I knew they made them but have never seen one. I have a neighbor who rides a recumbent but I don't know what brand it is.

I've been looking for an H or SH in my size for a long time with the intention of making it into a drop bar gravel bike. They don't show up as often as I expect. Seems like hybrids should have been top sellers.

I don't remember the production date of the frame I started to strip but I would guess circa 1989. I guess I should be careful about sanding the primer. Thanks for the heads up.

Some frames had zinc chromate primer. I think I've seen it on a MTB frame circa 1990 that I started to strip. The top coats come off with stripper but the primer is tough.

Wondering how close a match can be found without spending lots of cash.
