    Help Identifying Raven frame model + year?

    Photos are too small for me to tell much. Does it have disc mounts? 1998 model frames and forks didn't have them, 1999 did. Looks to be Team Volvo finish, lacking the decals. There's a photo of Tinker riding one (with the sponsor decals) on page 13 of the 1999 catalog. That bike has V...

    1997 Speed Yellow or Team Yellow?

    Thanks. I forgot all about those. Found Speed Yellow and Gunmetal for the '93 M1000, assume it's metallic. Now to find a DuPont dealer.

    1997 Speed Yellow or Team Yellow?

    I have a 1997 F500 in Speed Yellow that needs a bit of touch up work. To me it doesn't look much different from Team Yellow in person, though it appears to be a bit lighter shade of yellow in the catalog photos. Anyone have a source for either color? I'm guessing that I can add a bit of white...

    Cannondale SM600

    I have at least one pair of NOS roller cam brakes in the parts box but have never used them. I'm looking at a 1985 Cannondale that might be a good place for them.

    Cannondale fan from Texas

    I've never used paper that fine on one. 800-1000 grit and some Mother's or Simichrome and they look great.

    Police Bikes

    I'm guessing that they were made in other years but they may not show in the catalogs.

    Cannondale fan from Texas

    Are you sanding the anodizing off the crank or just cleaning it up? I've done the sand/polish routine on a Coda crank, was kind of a chore.

    Cannondale SM600

    It looks great. Must be nice to be without snow.

    Police Bikes

    They show in the 1997-1999 catalogs and were generally equipped similar to F700 or F900. They came with 36 spoke wheels and a more upright bar stem combination than the F700 and F900.

    F1000 “Full Wood”

    The finish was actually called Full Wood and I think it was only available in the 2002 model year. There was an alternate finish on the F1000 that year. I've never seen one outside of the catalog. It would take some participation here from someone from Cannondale with access to production...

    Missing a Cannondale part or decal?

    That looks to be in nice shape. Are you looking to restore it or reproduce it?

    Wanted Caad9 f&f 56cm

    Yes, it is still here. Have you checked shipbikes rates to the UK? I had never used them until recently when I had two complete Cannondales shipped from Texas. Evidently associated with Lickton's, long time Chicago bike shop. FedEx is the carrier but I got a much better price through...

    Wanted Caad9 f&f 56cm

    Will keep my eye out for one. Easy to remember as I built this 60 cm 2010 model up a couple of years ago.

    Catalog or Specs for Older Models

    Beth, if you are comfortable riding the bike otherwise I wouldn't worry about the stand over height. I am much more comfortable riding bikes that are taller than would normally be recommended for someone of my height and some of them have "zero clearance". I haven't had a ride of more than...

    Vintage Team Cannondale Racing Pics

    Must have been taken at Bedford. Look at all those frames waiting for paint.

    Catalog or Specs for Older Models

    I have a print catalog. Looks like the F4 could be clear coated raw aluminum or Patriot Blue/Jet Black. Build was SRAM X-7 derailleurs, X-5 shifters, Shimano crank and hubs, WTB rims, and Shiman BR-485 disc brakes.

    sale prices overall

    I don't have any knowledge about how pricing compared between USA and European markets. It could be that Cannondale had different pricing for several different markets. It wasn't unusual for Cannondale to change parts spec during a model run. Changes may have been made due to limited supply...

    For Sale 1992 Cannondale Killer V?

    Most likely a 1993 Delta V 700 or 1500. 17" frame which was the second smallest size. The frames and forks were the same, so paint and build would determine the model. Price sounds reasonable to me given the value of the parts. I'd be more interested if it were larger, but still might...
