    New tires for an old bike...

    You need to look at the ETRTO rim size when you look at tires. Depending on where you buy them, 700C tires may be called 700C, 28", or 29". 27" tires are normally called that, even though they are actually larger diameter than 700C. The 700C rim is 622, and the 27" size is 630, so look for...

    SOLD: Free + 9.00 SH Vintage Cannondale bags

    Yellow bag looks to be under seat mount. Is the black one a seat bag as well? Appears to need a mounting bracket. Do you have it?

    Advice for selling M900 Cannondale

    In my area I wouldn't expect to get more than $300 for the pictured H300 bike, and you might have to wait months for the right buyer. A 1995 M900 was about $1000 new, but I wouldn't expect to get more than $600 for one in NOS condition now.

    Cannondale 2.8 Series Road Frame

    If you're definitely going to repaint it, you might try sanding through the blue and see if another color shows underneath. Perhaps it was a replacement frame and that's why it doesn't have a model decal. I would start at your local automotive paint dealer and see what they can come up with.

    Cannondale 2.8 Series Road Frame

    Looks to be a 1996 frame. Does it have a model number? The only blue 2.8 I see in the 1996 catalog is the R2000 (Matte Panama Blue). R600 and up had the carbon fork in 1996.

    Cannondale 2.8 Series Road Frame

    The 2.8 was the top of the line road frame from 1992-1996. I don't think the geometry changed much but there were several different forks used. AL forks were used on the early bikes, but carbon was used on the later upper end models. There are geometry charts in each of the catalogs...

    What model is this? What's it worth?

    Looks to be lugged steel, so not a Cannondale. There are some steel experts over at the Paceline forum. You might try posting there in General Discussion. https://forums.thepaceline.net/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=3 Are those 27" wheels? The Shimano 600 indexed group is pretty nice...

    Trying to ID CAAD8 bike.

    Kind of odd to have those calipers on a build that is pretty high end otherwise. They probably work fine though. Glad to hear that you didn't discover any issues during the clean up. That's when I usually start to notice flaws that I didn't see initially.
