Those frames have a short wheelbase but the rest of the geometry isn't unusual for a road bike.

Looks like your bar code sticker is missing. It would have had the year code. Can you see if there is a sleeve in the BB shell, separate from the shell itself? I had a CAAD9 road frame that was sleeved for threaded cups. Dealers installed them when they wanted to use cranks other than...

You will get used to the handling.

I would guess somewhere in the $200-300 range. You could likely net more by parting it out.

Paint/decals look like a 2008 Taurine Team, but that was a BB30 frame. Guessing yours is not as it has an XT crank.

Looks good. We had a bit of a break from the humidity today but it was still in the upper 80s when I rode late this afternoon.

They never listed frameset weights, other than in "2.8" and "3.0" era, as far as I can remember. I don't have any bare CAAD3 frames to weigh. Closest I have is a 60 cm CAAD7.

Try again to answer my question about the brakes if you like.

Are you sure it's 1984? Perhaps post serial number. It would have had downtube shifters originally but the Sora (?) STI isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What's the problem with the brakes? They can be kind of fussy to get set up, but it's mostly a matter of getting the pads and spring tensions set right.

Here is a set of brakes on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ONZA-H-O-High-Output-Cantilever-Mountain-Bike-Brakes/324113823766?hash=item4b76b07816:g:38AAAOSwOuheenUb Sedis chain...

I've never seen an older Cannondale that wasn't 27.2 mm.

Looks like a nice one. First thing I would do is put some wheels and a handlebar on it and see how the Headshok feels.

Looks li I've seen crazy asking prices for NOS Sedis chains but have't looked for them lately. There were several levels of them in the 90s.

I wish that I was more knowledgeable about the various models. I don't have any Shimano parts books from that era but you might find something by searching.

First piece of advice, never toss anything without knowing the availability of a replacement. Never toss a hood that isn't too crumbly to use. I've cleaned up very ugly hoods using lacquer thinner, but it sounds like you don't have that option now. Shimano used a different hood design for...

I just wish I had someone to drive the tractor when I'm square baling. I bale until one falls off the rack, then stop and go back to stack. It's very slow but I've never found reliable help at $15/hr. I often bale on the ground as it's quicker to get the baling done, and I can pick them up at...

Sorry that I didn't get around to photographing mine and looking for rings. I've been in the hay field every night until 10 PM the last few days.

Interesting. I always thought the quill was everything that was inside the fork.

Not sure what you mean about the quill. Do you mean the wedge?
