    there is a 93 cannondale m300 aluminum frame getting scraped. worth saving?

    Yes, worth saving. Cannondale frames typically span several models so a decent looking frame is always worth preserving.

    Sr500/600 1985

    Lots of 1987-1988 Cannondale road bikes came with T-430s, but they are getting hard to find now. They measure 20 mm wide and about 13.5 mm deep. They were replaced by the similar GTX in 1989. Cannondale gradually phased out the use of Wolber rims on the road bikes in favor of Mavic and Sun...

    Sr500/600 1985

    Rims look great. It's hard to find specific year data on Wolber, but I know that they had changed the Alpine to the Alpine T-430 (yellow lettering) by 1987.

    Sr500/600 1985

    I suppose it's possible that some were imported early on. Cannondale had been making accessories for some years and may have already had European dealers when they started making frames. 600EX is nice stuff. I have a storage bin full of it if you need anything. It's not clear whether you are...

    Sr500/600 1985

    I don't mind the dealer decal just because it adds to the history of the bike. Would have been better placed on the down tube near the bottom bracket though. Looks like you have a Shimano and SunTour mix right now. I didn't look the bike up in the catalogs. What did it come with and what...

    Killer V frame - cantilever brake cable mount

    The 1995 rigid frames including the KVs had the Force 40 pivot that Meenie posted. 1996 frames used cantis and the seatpost clamp mounted guide. Brakes were typically Alivio or Coda. If your frame was made in 1995 it was most likely a 1996 model. Nashbar used to sell a simple guide that...

    jekyll but the year...?

    The first part looks like a standard socket head cap screw but it probably has some associated bushings. I've never owned a full suspension Cannondale so am not much help here. KK = November, 1999. Perhaps a pre-production frame built up for someone to test??

    jekyll but the year...?

    That's a very early date code for a Jekyll. First model year for them was 2001. The 2001 US catalog shows the Jekyll 2000 with similar black/orange/yellow fade and the component spec looks similar. I'm not sure of the correct term for the parts you need: axles or shock pivots, or ?. I...

    Cannondale w/ Blue/Mango fade

    Real, and looks to be in great shape. Give the bat rays some pets for me if you get to the aquarium.

    26.4mm or 27.0mm Crown Race for 1987 Cannondale / L.L.Bean ?

    I guess that I should have said that if I were ordering a new headset for that bike without measuring, I would order an ISO headset with the thinking that it is the most likely size. Have been wrong before though. My 1993 lugged steel Specialized Allez uses a JIS headset.

    Just Purchased this vintage Cannondale?

    I believe you have the date of build right. I think the colors are Mango and Galaxy Blue (see the Super V 2000 in the 1997 catalog). Component spec is right on with the 1997 M500 - and those look like 26" x 2.1" tires from here. The H500 had much narrower 700C tires. Your bike is a bit of an...

    26.4mm or 27.0mm Crown Race for 1987 Cannondale / L.L.Bean ?

    I have two Tange forks here that are both 26.4. One is from a 1987 R600, not sure about the other.

    Chase- Van Halen, HELP!

    Evidently only sold with that paint as a frameset. I wouldn't think that there are many out there.

    Chase- Van Halen, HELP!

    I haven't seen one of those before. The picture you posted doesn't show much detail.

    Wanted Downtube Shifter Boss / cable stop mounts

    I am not sure what you are suggesting. I think that it might be possible to thread a small diameter aluminum tube to accept the screws for down tube cable adjusters. You would have to be careful not to over tighten them as you could distort the down tube. If I can find the time I might give...

    What is my 83 cannondale worth?

    I'd estimate somewhere around $200. You might get a bit more for it right now considering that new bikes are still in short supply.

    Unknown model

    Agree with Brian. 16" frame built on November 4th, 1986 (so surely a 1987 model). The 92nd frame built that day. Frame color appears to match the SM600 but should have had pink decals. Wouldn't be the first Cannondale to get decals that don't show in the catalog, but I don't know how to tell...
