Nice work. If I didn't already have several 2.8 frames I'd be interested. I also have an MX Leader that belonged to a teammate of Axle Merckx. Same colors but red is on top and blue on the bottom.

Your list reflects my experience in that the early touring bikes seem to be much more common. I wonder why.

Maybe try to contact the forum member with the M700 for another photo. I thought the one in the gallery was pretty good.

Here's a stem that sold on ebay in November. Not in the best condition...

Could you have someone hand paint the gecko on the stem? In the USA I'd bet a good pin-stripe artist could do it but I don't know if they are as common in Germany.

Thanks. That would be a decent starting point if it is in fact a 22". I'm about 3 hours away. Always used to go the the January swap meet in Madison but haven't even considered it since Covid. It's coming up this Saturday just in time for the coldest weather of the season. Seller has not...

Nice work and great photos. I was aware of the Son hub but didn't know that it was so nice looking.

What threads are bad, cantilever posts? Is the fork moving in the headset tube?

Cannondale usually sized to top of seat tube minus one inch. So that sounds like a 20" but doesn't look that big to me.

22" preferred but I could probably ride a 20". I'm in NW IL.

I have that same frame here but wasn't aware of the gecko.

It seems to me that Cannondale didn't sell many of the hybrids until more recently. I've been looking for an SH or H frame in my size for several years. They don't seem to exist locally.

I'd agree that Cannondale sent you a current CAAD9 to replace your CAAD8.

That R1000 was a super deal. People ask close to what you paid for the saddle.

That's encouraging. Doesn't prove it's an '84 but at least it's not dated in 1985. Are the wheels original? The freewheel looks to be a SunTour. Pull the wheel and see if the freewheel is a New Winner.

I don't know how to tell which year from the serial number. The main difference I see between the two years is the 1984 bike came with a SunTour freewheel and the 1985 with a twisted tooth Shimano. Of course that's one of the most likely components to have been changed but that bike doesn't...

Thanks for the photos. I haven't owned one of those cranks and have never seen one up close. That sharp edge and small radius between the arm and the "hub" is a logical place for a stress crack.

You might get by for riding purposes with a Shimano or Sugino left arm. Where is the crack?

At least it's inexpensive.

What rear derailleur does it have? I know Shimano made some that were reverse pull but I don't remember what models.
