Wow, that looks great. 18" or 16" ?

Ryan, I would like to see it.

I was referring to the top cap/upper bearing cover of the headset. That's the part I think you might be able to change to use a more conventional stem. Not sure the one in this FSA headset would work for you, but it's along the lines of what I am thinking...

Could you change the headset top cap to one with a radius/taper like the Six13 has, so there's no step in the transition to the spacer(s)? Close up photo of your SystemSix top cap and spacer would help me understand the problem. I've never seen one of these bikes or even a decent photo of one.

I assumed that you could use conventional spacers that would look right with common AL stems. Is that not the case? Looks like the lower end 2007 System Six bikes had conventional stems and spacers.

If I was going to register it, I'd remove the cable guide and photograph all the numbers. You don't have to disconnect cables: just shift to the big chainring and big cog while turning the crank - then shift all the way in the opposite directions without turning the crank. Should result in...

That's an F700 actually, so technically not a Killer V (which was a model name) but a Delta V. The Delta frame was an option on the F700. Interesting observation about the dropouts. Only the KV and Beast of the East frames retained in 1995 the cantilever dropouts that all mountain frames had...

Can't tell much from the serial number about the specific model. Looks to be a Jan. 1995 build date and a 21" frame. Pretty sure it's a 1995 Killer V 900. The paint was called Diamond Black Metallic with Violet Pearl Hyper-Highlight, but it's basically purple. I have the same bike with level...

I don't mean to discourage you but I think that it may be tough to find the original fork in that length on its own. If you are committed to that fork, I'd suggest that you look for framesets and complete bikes on eBay. I wouldn't expect a bargain but it widens the search area a bit. You...

Guessing from the length that you are thinking threaded. Another fork that may take some time to find. I'm missing one on an R4000 - currently running a Kestrel. Other period correct carbon forks would be Serotta F1, Look, Icon, Kinesis, Ritchey and Reynolds. The last two may have only been...

You'd need a fork off something like a Bad Boy Ultra. Guessing that finding a loose fork isn't going to be easy. Wondering if you could get by with a 650B wheel on a 26" fork. I don't have any 650B wheels to check clearance, but could borrow a friend's 27.5" MTB front wheel.

Great to see you retrieved one. I can tell you it doesn't happen often. I think it's going to be tough to find a NOS Sub One. The original headset was a DiaCompe which you might turn up at a local shop or eBay. The original stem was a Control Tech. I have one NOS black 1" threadless but it's...

I found three 100 mm stems here, had a lot more 110s and 105s. The FSA and the Orbea are new, the Specialized slightly used. The Specialized has an eccentric sleeve which allows for angle adjustment. $15 for it or the FSA, $5 for the Orbea, + shipping cost.

I have some NOS Cannondale C3 stems that are in your length range but they are 26.0 clamp. I might have something that's 100 mm in another brand.

Nice bikes. I still have yet to ride anything newer than a CAAD9 but know that people who have Evos love them.

Isn't it a conventional 1 1/8" stem?

I don't think the bike is original. The Lefty didn't come out until the 2000 model year, the same year that the Raven frame was updated. Your frame and fork look to be from 1998, although the US catalog shows a yellow swingarm on the 3000 and a black one on the 4000. I think the idea of the...

The 7 speed X-1 rear derailleur was used at least from 1990-1992, same model number. There are a number of derailleurs that would be functional replacements, including: XCT, XCM, XCE, XC LTD, XCD, XC Comp, and XC Pro (lower groups to higher). I suspect that there are several from the 6 speed...

First one of these I've seen outside the catalog, but have seen a couple of older XS800s. Great color, I'd love to have one but this one is too small. It's listed as 19" which would make it a 50 or 52, but by the standover it's a 54 cm. Hopefully the seller will clarify the size...

Those tires are an unbelievably close match to the team blue. I wish your F400 was the same size, I'd be interested in it if it were. I agree that used is the way to go. I've probably owned 25 or 30 Cannondales, only 4 were purchased new.
