That's a 1997 model year R800 but it may have been manufactured in 1996. Original equipment was a full Shimano 105 group. Shifters, hubs and brake calipers would have been 1055 models, with the crankset being FC-1056, the derailleurs RD-1056 and FD-1056. I have used examples of most of those...

Nice collection. The picture of the M600 reminds me of a road ride we did here about 25 years ago. It was so hot that the melting asphalt gummed up the brake calipers so bad that we had to stop and scrape it out with sticks.

Love the Afterburner fade. If it were mine, I'd keep it as close to stock as possible. That said, I could see doing a complete modern build for riding and keeping the original bits stored away.

Some Jekylls used Fox Float RL shocks. There are a couple on ebay but I couldn't tell you that they will fit. I would run the question by Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith if Brian doesn't chime in.

Agree with Rick, that's a 20" frame with 130 mm rear spacing (the first 0), July 1991 production. Looks like the 9 stamp slipped out of the holder prior to stamping. Nice find, I've been looking for a 22" SH for years.

Assuming it's a complete original bike in good condition, I'd think you could probably part it out and easily net $200-300 for the parts and probably an equal amount for the frame and fork. Here's a nice Raven 700 that sold recently for something under the $695 asking price. The XT/XTR parts...

Interesting bike, cool to see a 1983 model. Does the paint look to be original? I only remember "red" in '83-4, thought it was quite a bit lighter. You can probably make the spokes look pretty nice by going over them with steel wool and Mother's. Doubt it would pay to replace the spokes.

Are you saying that the front wheel is 26" and the rear is 29"? Even after looking at the photo again I wouldn't have guessed. If anything, I would say the front wheel looks larger than the rear.

Those appear to be SunRace shifters. I assume they are friction front and rear. Shimano probably made a clamp on stem mount for indexed shifters at the time, so you could probably mount 105, Ultegra, or RX100 7 speed shifters with the proper clamp if you prefer indexed shifting. You could...

Assuming it is a 1989 model, I think it's an SR800. That was the Ultegra 600 bike, the SR2000 was Dura Ace. I purchased a mint teal SR800 a few years back for $250, thought it was a great buy at the time. Vintage bike market is pretty slack now though. That hardly matters for a bike that is...

Yes, the Backroads decals were specially made for the touring company of the same name. They purchased a large number of bikes for their rental business. As far as I know there were not any Killer V style frames produced for 700c wheels. There were Headshok equipped 700C hybrids (1995 H800...

I wouldn't know what to look for on a bike that modern.

Very nice collection of Cannondale MTBs. The Backroads bike was a rental bike. The 1998 Cannondale catalog mentions that Backcountry Active Vacations had selected Cannondale to supply their rental bikes. I don't know the history of either company but suspect they are the same, with Backroads...

KH on the Super V500 indicates that it was made in August of 1999. It's not in the US catalog for either 1999 or 2000 but I'd suspect that it's a 2000 model as it was made so late in 1999. The Backroads bike is likely a 1998 or 1999 Killer V700. I can't read the two letter code in your photo...

There were some durability issues with the 1st generation Raven frames. I don't think that there were any SL models in 1999, perhaps a Raven 1000? Condition is very important, and even with good pictures opinions on value can vary quite a bit.

Hope that you enjoy it. I'd like to find something similar.

Looks a lot like a 2005 F600. US models came with XT rear and LX front derailleurs, Avid brakes, TruVativ Blaze crank, and Deore 9 speed shifters. It wasn't unusual for Euro spec to be a bit different. The Coda crank is likely original.

Pretty sure that is a 1994 C600. I think the 22" would be best for you, but a 20" might work.

Still interested in what they found for a fork. I would find and install the rest of the parts myself, as well as paint the fork.

Does your frame still have the bar code sticker? The number on there is the one that they probably want. Or perhaps not. I tried it with my 2005 frame and got the same message. Guessing it may only work for Dorel vintage frames.
