What year was your 1992 fork recalled? Do remember the reason for the recall? I have several 1991-1995 Pepperoni forks so would be interested to know where the problem area was. I would assume the 1994 fork is original if the paint matches the frame and the fork has the Pepperoni decal...

Thanks. They don't have any more of the shifter kits but I will check their other items.

What a find. That part's a pretty common request here as well as on other bike forums but the one you bought is the first factory replacement kit that I've seen. Pity that the seller doesn't have 50 of them.

I would think you could JB Weld the stud back in the boss. I'd saw the broken part off the stud so that it can thread into the boss a bit more. With the epoxy it should hold as long as you are careful not to tighten it to much. If that doesn't work you can order one of these...

I wish it was bigger as well. Well worth the price if I can get to IC in the next couple of weeks. Bob Mould and Rick Nielsen shows are on my calendar. I'm with you about UPS. They crushed a custom Serotta MTB that I bought on eBay. I got my money back but lost out on a one-off bike. UPS...

Thanks for all the information on the Volvo team bikes, especially concerning the Sachs derailleurs. I had always wondered what the team used over the years but have looked at lots of photos without seeing anything definitely Sachs. If you look at page 22 in the 1998 catalog there's a picture...

Looks very nice. I have lots of commuter miles on a 1993 Beast, one of my favorite Cannondales.

Tourney is probably the simplest solution. You might give your wife's bike a try if you can fit on it. Some folks don't like the thumb button on the lower end STI as compared to the paddle on the upper groups. Doesn't bother me though. Your SunTour freewheel may index fine with the Shimano...

That looks great. I haven't used Claris but assume it works fine.

I'm not sure about the hanger. Believe that #16 is made for the cantilever dropouts. I looked at a frame I have here and those dropouts are milled down on both sides. The hanger is milled out in the center and covers both sides of the dropout where the hub and skewer contact it. The dropout...

I think you are right, a 1994 3.8 series frame. Probably started production way early as it was a new design.

I thought that might be a touring frame as it has bottle cage bosses under the down tube. Dropouts are different than those shown on 1993 touring frames but the touring frames did not have the cantilever dropouts of other 1993 frames. Since it appears to have a sloping top tube, I'm thinking...

You shouldn't really need the Travel Agent with mini Vs. The shorter arms require less cable pull compared to regular MTB V brakes.

I ran a 130 mm hub on a 1987 SR600 for a number of years. It's not too hard to spring the rear triangle enough to make it fit but it's not recommended to do so as the dropouts are forced to bend when the skewer is tightened down. This could eventually result in cracking. If you're not...

Tourney levers should work fine on your bike. It might be worth a try to just put some new pads/shoes on the SunTour brakes and see if that helps the braking. Dia Compe and Kool Stop pads are fairly inexpensive. You can play around with the length of the straddle cable to tune them as well...

I will have to check my parts. Have a new XT headset but it may be 1 1/8". I would think that you could find something on eBay though.

It was certainly common to use drop bar levers with cantis on touring bikes. There are probably some levers that work better with cantis than others. I will have to look at my bikes and see what combinations I have. Are you going to be using down tube shifters? If you want better braking...

All the older Cannondales I've seen use 27.2 posts.

I'd like to have vintage IRCs on my bike but they aren't cheap and may not hold up well due to sidewall dry rot. Some potential buyers might be interested in original looking tires but others may not care. Since you already have the Schwalbes, I'd sell it with them unless you want to keep them...

You never know where NOS parts will show up but ebay is the best bet. I bought several NOS Headshok stems from a bike shop a few years back. You could check with long time Cannondale dealers like Russell's in Washington IL and Big Shark in St. Louis. You might consider looking around Veloswap...
