    Cannondale Killer with disc brake mounts

    Thanks Len. I looked at the 1999 catalogs and that year all F series models (CAAD2, 3, 4) in size small came with KV frames. Also in the "version 1" 1999 catalog you can see caliper mount tabs on the fork of the CAAD2 KV700. I can't tell if the frame has caliper mounts but I suspect that it...

    1998 Cannondale CAD3 F1000

    How far have the dropouts been spread? I would probably make some sort of wooden structure to spread the load across the left side stays, with a fulcrum projecting to the bend in the drive side seat stay. Then pull the dropouts together with a piece of all thread. May not work, could kink the...

    Wanted: 2000 F900 in Fire Mountain Fade

    I had to look that fade up as I couldn't remember it. It's black at the front, Viper Red in the middle, and Charger Orange at the rear.

    WTB 1986 SR800

    Are you committed to that model/year/color? As far as riding it goes, I'd think you'd be happy with a 3.0 frame which would likely be easier to find. They weren't painted coral though.

    Know Anything About this 1998 CAD3 Frameset?

    Color looks a bit light, but could be a 1997 F1000. For sure an F series from 1997-1999.

    23" 1984 Cannondale ST400 for sale $500 plus shipping

    I love the ST frames and that one looks pretty nice. Are you sure about the size?

    1997 F700 - Full Restoration

    I'm not up on current Shimano, kind of surprised to see 8 speed. Pedals look nice. I've used similar Exustar pedals but the XTs look much lighter.

    Brake post caps?

    I would just get some short stainless set screws and put them in with some anti seize compound. You can fill the hex and the spring holes in with silicone.

    Cannondale Killer with disc brake mounts

    Your ?? letters are likely the date code, so that's a good starting place. There were a few models where the Killer V frame was used only in the smallest sizes, but it seems to me that was before 2000. There were European models that don't show up in the USA catalogs, so you could have one of...

    1987 SR400?

    Lots of 6/7 speed Shimano and SunTour parts laying around here. Let me know if you need anything.

    1987 SR400?

    Yes, a 1987 SR400. It's quite rare to find an 80s frame in that kind of condition. How are you going to build it? Shimano 600EX would look great on that frame.

    Need new Downtube shifters!

    What parts are on it now? Except for the Mavic equipped 1992 R1000, all the road bikes in that era came with Shimano 7-8 speed groups. I have a few bikes with 8 speed Campagnolo. It works well and has the advantage over Shimano in that the Ergo shifters are rebuildable (and more reliable)...

    1997 F700 - Full Restoration

    Looks like a great project. Where did you find the Headshok parts?

    Geometry chart of the 2001 Caad4 R600 Aero

    Are you thinking of a bike with 650C or 700C wheel size? Cannondale made time trial frames with both wheel sizes at the time. I don't know what the team used but I'd guess 700C. In 2001 the frame would have been a CAAD4. I don't have a better scan of the 2001 catalog, but I have a print copy...

    POLL: to vintage or not.

    I can't answer one way or the other. Gazelle bikes and frames turn up here, but I don't recall them ever being offered for sale by a US retailer. It's certainly possible that they were sold here by a company that I was not aware of.

    New Guy in Alabama

    I had one pair of STI (can't recall what model) with a rear shifter that wouldn't work until I put it under very hot running water. I'd tried various oil based flushes with no luck, but the hot water cured it. The direct cable routing, simplicity and light weight remain selling points for...

    POLL: to vintage or not.

    The Gazelle is a beauty. Were there other carbon models? Probably very hard to find in the USA. I knew Time was making a lot of carbon forks back then but I don't remember the frames.
