Chain ring can probably be straightened with a big adjustable wrench. What was the nature of the accident? There should be some evidence of any contact hard enough to bend the frame. Exception might be front impact, which could bend the frame and/or fork without scarring up the paint.

Sounds like it's not an Ultra, but it's hard to get a good measurement of either spacers or cogs on a freewheel that's built up. Do you still want to pursue an indexed setup?

I think most guys with an opinion would say that a steel fork will give the best ride. The Cannondale is definitely going to be stiffer than a steel frame, especially compared to the steel that was common in the 80s, such as 531 with a 1" top tube. The stock Tange fork is probably fairly...

I tried the XCD/Cyclone setup a bit last night. I did find a 6 speed freewheel with a 30 cog, but it's an Ultra and has a big jump from the 22 tooth 5th cog to the 30. It didn't shift very well onto the 30 and oddly had trouble shifting to one of the smaller cogs as well. It actually worked...

Best to have the hanger checked with an alignment gauge, like the Park. It shouldn't be a problem to tweak the hanger slightly. Your high limit screw is probably preventing the derailleur from reaching the small cog. Turning it out should allow it to move farther. You may also have to adjust...

I would have guessed that the XC would work pretty well for friction shifting. Do you still have the 6 speed 13-30 New Winner freewheel? I'm not sure if that was standard width or Ultra (narrow) but guessing it was standard. Pretty sure for indexing you could use any long cage SunTour...

Let me know if you need anything. Lots of vintage stuff here. Too bad the RD is gone. It's about $80 on ebay.

Check out the 2001 catalog. Scan isn't very good though. I have original catalogs from 2000 and 2002 but not 2001.

Welcome! Nice looking F700. I like that color, called Goldenrod I think. Where in the UK? I'd like to see some trail pics.

Pretty sure that's a 2001 Jekyll 2000SL. Originally had a Headshok fork. Check out the 2001 catalog and see if some of components match up. Check for a two letter code on the BB shell. It should end in L or M. L indicates 2000 and M 2001 manufacture date. 2001 model year bikes could be...

Could you measure to the outside edges of two opposite pin holes? Wondering if ISIS BB cup tool could be modified to work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PARK-TOOL-BBT-18-8-NOTCH-ISIS-CUPS-BOTTOM-BRACKET-BIKE-BICYCLE-TOOL/201164648282?epid=1900015796&hash=item2ed658ef5a:g:X3UAAOSwdTJaV6Dg:rk:48:pf:0...

Tough one for me as I don't know the newer bikes very well. Without more details I am pretty much in the dark.

26" wheels or 700C? I would have guessed it might be a Quick, but they are all 700C I think. No model name decals anywhere? Details of components might help.

What width are the Hookworms? I've had similar tires from various manufacturers in the past. Ritchey Tom Slicks were one. I think they came in 1.5" and another size which I can't recall.

Nice to see a bike of that age in such good condition.

As far as I know, only the R900 had a carbon fork in '95. I believe Advanced Composites did make Cannondale's early carbon forks. I'd guess that is a Cannondale fork, probably from around 1998, when 43 rake was used on all road frames. In 1995 54.5 - 60 cm frames cane with forks that had...

Looks like you have it right. Components should be mostly SunTour Alpha 3000 with a Sugino VP crank.

Not sure if you can decipher frame size from the code. A 58 cm 2.8 measures about 57 cm from center of BB to top of top tube. I am sure, just measured one that has a size sticker on it.

I don't have much that qualifies as modern. Newest MTB is a Serotta soft tail from around 2002. Newest road is a carbon Raleigh from around 2006. Most of my bikes are in the 1985-2005 range. I ride whatever is a recent build. I think the last road ride was on a steel Look. Last MTB ride...

Member hAROLD is looking for one. His email is in the link. Too bad he's at the opposite end of the country. http://community.vintagecannondale.com/threads/red-shred-iso.158/
