I have about $125 in the wheels.

Since head tubes get longer as frame sizes increase, steerer lengths are going to vary with frame size. You can put a 2 cm spacer under the top nut of a threaded fork. The steerer could also be cut to fit the frame, assuming it's threaded down far enough. It's no problem to switch to a...

I checked the mixed rim pair. They are Shimano 5500 (105 nine speed) hubs, with 32 hole Fir and Ambrosio rims. The MA3s are 32 hole and have Campagnolo Daytona (9/10/11) hubs. The Heliums are 8/9 Shimano.

Wow, nice find.

For Campagnolo or Shimano cassette? I know I have a pair of Helium tubulars, believe they are Shimano. Also have a pair of red MA3, 32 hole I think, believe they are Campagnolo. A third pair are of mixed rim manufactures, I believe they were Ambrosio but I couldn't find a replacement for a...

I agree up to a point, but it could be a 1995 3.0 frame. They had the wishbone seat stay and I believe the down tube had a constant OD. 1995 2.8 frames had tapered diameter down tubes.

I don't. You could probably experiment with substitutes. I can't remember how big around they need to be. Toothpicks? Aluminum pop rivet shanks?

I believe it's an F Series frame, XL size, from 1995 or later. I haven't owned any similar frames, closest I have is a 1995 M900. There may be some differences in tube diameters for the mid to late 90s F frames, but I don't have access to any to measure. Another angle would be to research the...

It looks great to me. I've purchased a few XCD cranks on eBay for a planned reproduction of my old bike, but yours is nicer than any that I have landed. You really should spring for a set of top tube cable guides.

Looks to be a touring model from the 1980s. Not sure that the 1984 touring bikes had the rear rack mounts. Better photos taken from the right side might help pin down the year and model.

Very nice. I'm with you, the DX will be functionally the same as XT.

That serial number/placement doesn't seem to match any of the systems that Cannondale used. Pictures of the frame would help. Does it take 26" wheels?

1998 F400 was 7 speed and had the Power Grip Plus shifters, so maybe that's what you have. I can't explain the paint unless it's as you say and they switched the color before they changed to the 1999 components. You may find that you get used to the ride of the road bike. Most find them to...

I'm wondering if that could be a 1999 as 1998 came with a Rockshox Indy S fork. 1999 had a P Bone M fork, was Alivio/LX 8 speed with SRAM Centera shifters. Color looks right, though the yellow decals are shown on the Super Black version.

I will have to look at my frames from that era, but I recall a two letter code for the build year and month, with no numeral for the day. If you are pretty sure that it is a 1998 F400, you can download the catalog and see how your bike compares to the catalog description.

Sounds like the changes are working out. Glad to hear that you are happy with it.

I have one and it's been great to me for over 25 years. $350 seems fair. https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bik/d/chicago-cannondale-m800-aluminum/7188836135.html

I don't think we know much about the other number. It's hard to say anything definite about the paint except that it wasn't standard on any 1992 models that I've seen. One-off for some special event, team paint, repaint are all possibilities.

Are you sure that there isn't another number preceding the first 0? Starting with 0 doesn't match the serial number configuration of the frame era (1989-1992). The paint isn't original, but Cannondale did similar paint later.
