Yes, 1997 came with 7 speed rear and RSX STI levers. 7 speed bar end shifters were made, they are model SL-BS50. http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=29191E7E-322B-41E7-B96E-47D57B54B88A&Enum=104&AbsPos=28 You could also use the 8 speed Ultegra SL-BS64 levers and add an 8 speed cassette...

Lots of ways to go about rebuilding it. You could fairly easily find the 105 parts and put it back original, use something period correct but higher end, or go with something slightly more modern. Start with the wheels and see if they are something you want to stick with, and decide how much...

I think that's a 1989 SR400, which came with mostly Shimano 105 (model 1050) 6 speed components. There were 3 different forks that year. The higher end frames got the AL fork (likely SR made), and there were two different Tange steel forks. AL forks have less fatigue life and have generally...

What year T900, is it nine speed? 7700 bar end shifters are not too hard to find, I probably have a pair on the shelf. I agree that bar end shifters are better for touring. One of my friends had an STI shifter fail while riding out of state. No local bike shop had a replacement on hand, so...

I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them but I assume you're in pretty hilly country so you might be better off with cantilever brakes rather than calipers. You would have to find a fairly recent Asian made model to get discs. I wouldn't let caliper brakes stop me from spending...

What year was the book published?

The front photo gives a better picture of sidewall clearance. Rear clearance is comparable but I didn't get the right angle for the photo. Plenty of clearance for a tire of larger diameter. I think Challenge 34s would clear, and probably Kenda 35 clinchers would clear as well.

I have 32 mm CX tubulars on this ST. Front is a Vittoria and rear is a Challenge Fango. Plenty of clearance with the 600EX calipers that came with the bike.

I hope to get to where the bike is stored today. Don't hesitate to remind me to check the tires.

Must have been a team bike but I don't know what team. Doesn't appear to have the two letter date code but I'd guess it was built in 1999.

It's hard to tell from the photos but I think it might be a 1995 R800. None of the components look to be original with the possible exception of the brake calipers. Looks to have Campagnolo 9 or 10 speed parts which if in decent condition would be worth the asking price on their own.

Nice find. I have seen one or two on eBay, but it's been a while and I don't recall what year they might have been. Interesting that the chainstay bridge appears to be solid. I would have expected a tube.

Nice. Same photo as the 1995 catalog cover I think.

Seems to me a tire in the 32-35 mm range will fit. I will try to remember to check what's on my ST500.

Thanks for posting the documents. We don't have much original pricing information. Nice to see what my SR800 sold for. The dealer didn't cut you much slack on pricing the DV, charging retail + shipping and assembly, but at least you didn't have to pay sales tax. Oregon purchase?

That's a 2002 R700 Si Triple, definitely worth $250 in decent condition. Looks like it would clean up nicely. Have a good look at the frame for dents, corrosion, and cracks. Components look to be all original. Cannondale often would spec a mixed parts group, typically with a higher level...

Those make nice gravel bikes even though limited to caliper brakes.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. What size is the Delta V? I think it's a 1992 DV2000.

BL was SR800 in 1987, but it got demoted down the lineup in subsequent years. 1987 and 1988 are the best years as they had SunTour Sprint components (2nd in the line at the time to Superbe Pro), while later BLs had lower level components. 1988 BLs were designated SR700 but the components were...

Thanks for posting the nice photos. An XS has been on my wish list for a long time but I need at least a 58.
