    66 cm road Cannondale

    That looks like a 1991 SR600, Cosmic Black with White Web, 7 speed 105SC. Not sure about the Cannondale decal though, the catalog shows the "normal" down tube decal. What's the standover height? I have a friend that might be tall enough to ride it.

    Geometric Cannondale M700

    It's on page 44 of the 1994 catalog:

    Badly skipping chain

    1/8" in a foot of chain is enough to cause worn sprockets, especially if a single one gets used most of the time. The small cog will be the first to cause a skipping problem if all have the same amount of use. I am using 9 speed chains on a number of index shift 6, 7, and 8 speed bikes...

    Geometric Cannondale M700

    Welcome. First step will be to determine the year of the bike. Post pictures or download and look through the catalogs from the link at the top of this page. I know that there was an M700 model in 1993 and 1997 but they were different series of frames and I'd expect the geometry to be...

    Hello and Thanks

    Welcome. The F600 is a nice find. I hope you can get the F1000 repaired. Looking forward to the pictures.

    Volvo Cannondale Team Replica colour code.

    Might have been a Cannondale code.

    Badly skipping chain

    That's usually caused by a new chain on a worn cog. I would try replacing the cassette or freewheel with a new one.

    F what?

    It's possible that disc specific CAAD3 frames were made during the 1999 model year, but they don't show in the catalog. Great looking bike no matter what year it is.

    Volvo Cannondale Team Replica colour code.

    Thanks for checking. I'm guessing that was originally sold by Cannondale. It's too bad that the paint code isn't present, as that would have been the easiest way to be sure of the matching paint. https://www.quest-ip.com/resources/ral-colors/

    F what?

    Yes, 1999 frames were CAAD4 from F1000 - F3000. 1998 frames were all CAAD3 V brake only, no disc production models. Disc specific frames didn't show up until 2000 and were either CAAD4 or CAAD5.

    Volvo Cannondale Limited Edition

    Looks to be an 18" frame.

    Volvo Cannondale Team Replica colour code.

    Is there a paint code number on that bottle? Looks like it would be in the 5000-5021 range of the Valspar paint chips.

    86 SR500 finally finished (except for tape)

    Sounds like everything should work. Did you check to be sure bar clamp diameter of the new bar is the same as your stem? Guessing you might need to snag a couple of MTB brake cables, but I don't know those levers.

    F what?

    They both appear to be 1999 model year frames. 1999 F1000 and above were all CAAD4. F900 was CAAD3, had disc and canti mounts, and the Fatty D fork. That's the closest frame/fork combination I see to your two frames. The USA F900 didn't come in Team Blue though. We don't have a 1999...

    I believe that is a 2004 Bad Boy.

    new member shock question 94 Cannondale Super V 1000

    I don't know much about the early Super Vs. The 1995 SV 700 still used the aluminum swingarm, while the other models used the new carbon swingarm. All 1995 SVs came with Fox air sprung shocks. In 1996 the two remaining high pivot SV models came with Fox coil-over shocks. I'd check with Craig...

    Need help replacing my stolen Hooligan

    Some municipalities register bikes by serial number. There are also web sites where you can list your stolen bike's serial number in case someone comes across it. Knowing the serial number mainly provides evidence that a recovered bike is actually yours. Taking pictures of your bike and its...

    CAAD 3 Paint

    I don't have any specific recommendation. I usually buy touch up paint at the hobby shop, have had some luck with fingernail polish. Sometimes have to mix two colors to get a decent match. John Deere yellow with a bit of white might make a close match for Team Yellow.

    Age of my Scalpel

    Decal style looks more like 2003/2004 to me. I have the USA catalogs for those years but not the European ones. Check your bottom bracket shell for a bar code sticker. If it's there, you should be able to determine the model year, at least within 1 year. I'm not clear if the bar code year...

    Need help replacing my stolen Hooligan

    That there don't seem to be many out there works for you in recovering your stolen bike (if you have serial number) but against you in finding another to replace it. Are you at all interested in options other than another Hooligan? There are lots of inexpensive 26" and 700C wheeled bikes out...
