Are you going to stick with SRAM for the rest of the upgrades? If so I would choose a crank that's going to be compatible with whatever the ultimate setup is. Shimano STI and front derailleur setups can be pretty finicky, so I would want to be sure all three components matched if going with...

What model shifters and front derailleur do you have?

I've purchased a couple of craigslist bikes.

$500 sounds reasonable to me but you might have to wait to get that much for it.

I would say that an ebay buy-it-now listing would be the equivalent USA option. You can set your price with or without the make offer option. Craigslist and Facebook marketplace would be other options.

I'm not sure what the first year for Viper Red was but there was Red Shred on the 1990 SM800, Team Red on the SM400, and Inferno red on the SR600 and SR800. I always thought the yellow decals on the later red bikes looked better than the black or white of the earlier ones.

Yes, only the fork is carbon.

People might measure them as 63 cm but Lemond's largest size was 61 cm, at least from 1997 until 2008. That's all the catalogs I have here and vintageTrek site seems to be down. Comparing a 61 cm Lemond 853 frame to a 63 cm Serotta, the Lemond actually has a longer top tube - 60.5 cm vs. the...

Those are there to help prevent the bosses from rotating. They measure about 3 mm in diameter and are located in the center of the concave, approximately 8.75 mm on center from the center of the boss. Height doesn't matter much but it is about 2.5 mm on the original parts. Looking at your...

I do have NOS 7 speed cassettes in 12-28, 12-30, and 13-30. The cassettes with 30T cogs are black, the 12-28 is silver Accushift Plus II. Yes but I can't remember what the "Multimount" shifters are other than thumbshifters. SunTour had shifters that mounted directly to the bar and that were...

I'd forgotten that the Omega was SunTour. Does the wheel have a freewheel hub? Is the frame 130 or 135 mm spaced?

I know that I have NOS SunTour 36 hole cassette hubs but they are not XC Pro. Probably 130 mm but I would have to check. 1991 was about the year that SunTour introduced the Microdrive compact crank, but they also made standard (28-38-48, etc) cranks at the same time. The 1991 catalog shows...

I probably have a NOS cassette. 7 or 8 speed? Might have hubs but they won't be NOS. What front derailleur - clamp size, standard or Microdrive? Guessing 32 clamp and bottom pull if for a Cannondale.

I have a 1997 CAAD2 frame here in the stand. It has a plain black chainstay protector, essentially a black version of the helicopter tape. I don't know if it's original to the frame or not, but looking at the yellow bikes in the 1997 catalog it doesn't appear that they came with anything on...

Whether you need it or not depends on how rough your roads are and the gear combinations that you spend a lot of time in. Certainly wouldn't hurt to protect the stay though. We always used 3M helicopter tape to protect the front edges of wings on the race cars. It will yellow over time but...

PM Brian if he doesn't chime in. Velocals decals are vinyl I think but thin enough to be clear coated. They probably have reasonably close down tube, head tube, fork, and possibly made in USA decals. https://velocals.com/cannondale-build-a-set/?sort=featured&page=1

Looks great. Current Sora is so much nicer than it used to be.

Perhaps Brian will chime in. Have you looked around at velocals? They probably won't have a model decal but might have the same style of down tube decals, and might have a color that is close.

I'd be interested in the shifter bosses if they list them. I don't see them yet. Thanks.
