I have never seen welds left unfinished. Wonder if the frame went out the door for some reason before it was finished.

I don't have any insight. Interested to know what the motivation is for the changes.

It's hard to generalize about different years. In 1995 the 2.8 and 3.8 frames were both offered in 14" (16"/16.2" to top of seat tube), while the smallest KV size was 15" (16.7" to top of seat tube). The 14" 3.8 was KV style, while the 14" 2.8 was not. In 1996 the CAAD3 M500 and M900 in 14"...

What years are we talking about? The only thing I would be able to do is to look at the catalogs and compare specs and geometry.

There is always the bedroom. Mine has more than ten bikes.

That's either 1987 or 1988.

Hanging them from a ceiling is probably the most space efficient way. I have hooks in the floor joists in my basement that allow me to hang bikes vertically. Another way would be a long rod suspended from the ceiling with S hooks to hang the bikes on. That would allow adjusting them as close...

Here's one in Houston: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CANNONDALE-CAAD-5-R2000SI-56CM/184626874867?hash=item2afc9e89f3:g:CikAAOSw149gBczJ

This is not my bike, but it has the same Helen's Cycles team paint: https://bicyclebuysell.com/images/upload/2020/3/1584889364-18.jpg more pictures here: https://bicyclebuysell.com/item/511629/sold-cannondale-caad-5-2002 Pretty sure mine is a 56 cm CAAD5, nearly new condition. It's at a...

The Ringle is a nice stem and fits the era. There's a big annual bike swap meet in Madison, WI that I try to attend, but it's been postponed this year until at least March. Held by the Brazen Dropouts cycling team, it's one of the largest swaps in the USA and the best place outside of eBay to...

Guessing that's going to be tough to find. Do you want the Club Roost because it was what you had on the bike that was stolen? This would go nicely with the Manitou fork, but the price is nearly 3X the 1994 retail price...

I agree. You couldn't buy anything close to comparable new for 300€, and the original poster's bike looks to have only been ridden a few times. Great that you found a NOS example. I really like that era of Cannondale MTBs.

Going pretty steady it seems. Wondering if I should snag a pair just to have on hand.

I think the only 56 cm frame I have is a Helen's Cycles team CAAD5. The closest I have to what you want is a 1988 SR800, the first year for Ultegra. Unfortunately it's a 54 cm and not a very good restoration project as it's completely original and in very nice shape. I'll keep an eye out for...

So the axle is a larger diameter in the space between the bearings? I can see that preventing excess preload on the bearings but 1 mm gap seems excessive. Perhaps the intention was that the bearings would have enough press fit that the shell couldn't move side to side on the bearings. You...

Is this the hub? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-Coda-700-Vorderrad-Nabe-32-Loch-9mm-Achse-m-Schnellspanner/183790669408?hash=item2acac70e60:g:WN8AAOSwbUJcnY5r I'm not acquainted with that hub but it looks to have a conventional steel threaded axle. I can't see what would prevent you from...

What is the intended use of the wrenches? The Park that you linked is intended for servicing hub bearings. The recent Cannondale catalogs oddly don't list what cassettes were supplied. I couldn't find a new or used 12-30 HG500 cassette for sale, so I'm guessing that the Blue Book got it...

The Amazon cassette is what came on your bike except for large cog size. You can use any Shimano 10 speed cassette of roughly the same ratio. You can get a Tiagra 11-25 for $36 at Universal Cycles: https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=76002&category=359 That's the...

Me too. I'd love to sell some bikes to people that would keep them in good shape but it seems that most folks lack the skills or motivation. I sold the second Cannondale I owned to a guy who didn't have a clue about keeping it nice. I ended up buying it back but was amazed how much he damaged...

That looks great. Glad you found a good home for it.
