    Team Saeco Cannondale Caad4

    No CAAD4 frames for the 1998 model year, so that's a 1999 model. It could have been sold as a frameset and built up with the current parts, or it could have been an R5000 on which the parts have been replaced. What model are the shifters? The mixed Campagnolo parts should all work fine...

    Help identifying Cannondale model

    Half step gearing with a granny. Big rings are usually something like 45/50, small ring 26 or 28.

    Help identifying Cannondale model

    I think it's a 1988 ST400. Lots of variation from catalog spec on components but the original owner could have specified changes upon the original purchase, and 30 years have gone by since then.

    2x2

    I'd say the 2X2 designation is pretty much meaningless, just marketing. I've always wanted one of those - thinking that with a drop bar they'd make a perfect all surfaces road bike. Cannondale didn't make a CX frame at the time. I'd be happy to find a nice one in my size for € 200.

    2.8 Version Identification

    Looks like you have it pinned down, a 1992 R900. I checked my '92 R1000 and it has the same stamp in the right chainstay as your R900. I'm guessing it was used to identify the frame type before it got painted. I would expect all 1992 2.8 frames to have the same stamp, and all '92 3.0 frames...

    Headshock Super Fatty - first attempt on service

    I think you have the dates right: built in July 2000 for the 2001 model year. Just like cars, new bike models are sometimes rolled out 5 months before the start of the new year. Craig (MendonCycleSmith) is the guy to talk to about Headshok rebuilds. Great photos, hope you will post more as it...

    SOLD: 1985/86 SR Frame 56/58cm

    I'd be interested in the pedals if Brian doesn't want them.

    Cad3 Saeco Silk Road?

    Pretty sure there is a size stamp in the shell circa 1998. Also look for a 2 letter code that will give month and year of manufacture.

    It started at a garage sale.

    Welcome. It's always N+1 for me, but that approach does complicate life. Let me know if you decide to sell it. I have some 32 mm knobby Vittorias on my 1995 SR500. I would guess that the team used the widest available Vittoria slick tubular for races like Paris Roubaix. In the catalog...

    Cad3 Saeco Silk Road?

    Great find. Pretty sure that's a 1998 frame, only year for that fork decal. 1997 forks just had the Headshok decal, didn't say Silk Road. 1999 forks had carbon legs. If you look at page 52 in the 1998 catalog you will see a picture of Paolo Fornaciari riding one at Paris Roubaix. Don't...

    Super Vsl Raven4000 lefty

    I wonder if someone added the Lefty. Pretty sure the Lefty was introduced at the same time the 2nd generation Ravens came out (2000 models). The Lefty models were designated SX and the Headshoks SL. I couldn't find the yellow swingarm on any US model 1999 Raven, and the catalog doesn't show a...

    1996 Red Beast

    Post a pic soon. Here's my 1993 after arriving home from a 30 mile trip with a wheel box - in the snow, at night.

    A guy who works in a shop in Louisiana thinks he has one. Will get back with details if he finds it.

    1985 rs front derailleur hanger

    I'm checking around but without luck so far. Do you have any long time Cannondale dealers in Montreal? I have a couple near by that I will try to call in the next few days.

    1985 rs front derailleur hanger

    Welcome. I don't have a spare. Wondering if you could use a clamp-on front derailleur. Might have to narrow the clamp down between the riv-nuts so it fits the tube.

    1FG, eBay - Manitou Springs, CO

    Don't see these very often. $250 minimum bid. I'd be tempted if it was local. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-1FG-SingleSpeed-Mountain-Bike-Headshok-Handmade-in-the-USA-Hardtail-M/303185947002?hash=item46974a697a:g:0bsAAOSwkpxdAIZX

    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    Certainly willing to part with one. If you decide that another length would be better after trying the first one I would be happy to trade. You will have to eat the shipping costs in that event. $20 for your choice of stem, + shipping.
