    CAAD4 Saeco team, or replica?

    Pretty hard to tell anything from the full bike photo. I have no idea whether MORI on the frame is a coincidence or not, but it's very interesting. Doubt that anyone would have serial number information for team bikes at this point in time, and likely only the team mechanics would know which...

    Delta V 1500 (hard tail)

    Wow. That's well worth $500 shipped, I'd say. It's a 1993. The stock red anodized Coda brakes would be hard to find I'm sure. Catalog pic shows black chain rings, but Cannondales didn't always come exactly as pictured in the catalogs. Tires have likely been changed. IRC Mythos were what...

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    I don't recall seeing pinch bolts on the cups of my 1992 Delta V. Not sure if mine was made early in the run or late. Looking at the 1993 catalog pic of the DV700 I can see what looks like screw heads on both cups. Will have to check mine.

    1991 SE1000

    I wish I was as motivated as you. I have most of the parts to reproduce my first Cannondale but keep doing other projects instead of getting the paint work done.

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    Can the fork be pulled out of the frame without disturbing the shock/spring assembly? The only Headshok that I've removed from the frame was on a 1995 Silk Road that had seized roller bearings. It came out without any problems.

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    Total guess on my part, but I couldn't find any inch sized bearings anywhere with closer dimensions. Seems odd that Cannondale would have specified an inch sized bearing on top and a metric on bottom but I guess that options are limited in that size range. You should be able to find that...

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    Closest I have been able to find is a 6809, which is 58 mm x 45 mm x 7 mm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/6809-2RS-two-side-rubber-seals-bearing-6809-rs-ball-bearings-6809-rs/132238430830?hash=item1eca06526e:g:mOYAAOSwstxVGAzG:rk:1:pf:0 Might take some machine work on both the fork and the headset...

    Where can I find an original Castle Tool to service my DD60?

    Not cheap, but there's one on eBay. Still believe I could make one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-Vintage-MTB-Headshok-or-Lefty-Castle-Tool-106447-same-as-104110/352553264890?epid=21027411809&hash=item5215cfe6fa:g:U1QAAOSwXI1cIsNM:rk:30:pf:0

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    OK, 57.15 works out to 2 1/4", so I'd start looking for that OD.

    Delta V 2000 shock adjuster tool

    Nothing on eBay that I could find. I'd start with long time Cannondale dealers, or at least shops that sold Cannondale in that era and remained in business. I know of one in my area, now the Trek Store in Davenport, Iowa. Shop is owned by Olympian and former 7-Eleven pro Jeff Bradley. I'll...

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    Do you not have the old bearing? Should be a part number on it which you can take to bearing supplier. I suppose I can pull the fork off my 1992 and see if there's a number if you can't figure out the bearing from dimensions. I'm guessing the OD is either 58.72 mm (2 5/16") or 60.32 mm (2...

    1991 SE1000

    Looking great. It's nice to see you putting so much work into the frame. I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild, only in the shops when they were current.

    Delta V 2000 Headshok headset bearings - help please!

    I would check bearing suppliers. You will need accurate measurements of OD, ID, and thickness. Also check with Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith. He does a lot of Cannondale fork service work. http://mendoncyclesmith.com/ If you can't find one, you might consider converting to the newer style...

    What model is it?

    Just be sure that is in fact V1 Octalink. ISIS looks similar but has 10 splines I think.

    FEDEX damage F29 frame - want to get touch up paint

    I would check with a good Cannondale dealer first but doubt that they will be able to provide paint codes. If you have a good hobby shop, check the little jars of model paint for a close match. I often use fingernail polish for touch ups. It's hard to get a perfect match but it can look...

    What model is it?

    Here's a used XTR M952 175 mm V1 arm that looks like it would work. If seller won't ship to UK I could facilitate. https://www.ebay.com/itm/one-1-used-LEFT-Shimano-FC-M952-XTR-175m-m-octalink-crank-arm/382562545116?hash=item5912812ddc:g:x-cAAOSwEBRbl~90:rk:30:pf:0

    What model is it?

    That looks like an Octalink V1 spline, but check the BB photos here to be sure, and for a partial list of other V1 cranks. https://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html If it is in fact V1, I believe that XTR is the only Shimano MTB group that uses that spline. Still, used XTR cranks are surely out...

    What model is it?

    Can you post a pic of the crank arm that shows the damage? Believe your bike had a Cannondale branded crank originally. Single arms turn up on eBay occasionally. I don't know who made those cranks but there are likely other brands that would be functional if the exact one can't be found...
