Serial number might help. It looks like a time trial frame to me but I don't recall seeing a similar frame previously. Aluminum fork? That would put it 1989 or later. If the decals are original, I would guess 1989-1991.

I always find your posts interesting. Good luck on your future purchases.

Glad you have made progress on most of the issues. Not sure of what locknut you are missing. Perhaps draw an arrow on the point where it goes.

The seat stays are the only difference between CAAD3 and 4. I can't tell from the picture which stays your frame has but CAAD4 are hourglass shape, CAAD3 straight. There is no difference between models of CAAD4 road frames except paint and decals. Forks could be different between models. Is...

No CAAD4 frames for the 1998 model year, so that's a 1999 model. It could have been sold as a frameset and built up with the current parts, or it could have been an R5000 on which the parts have been replaced. What model are the shifters? The mixed Campagnolo parts should all work fine...

Half step gearing with a granny. Big rings are usually something like 45/50, small ring 26 or 28.

I think it's a 1988 ST400. Lots of variation from catalog spec on components but the original owner could have specified changes upon the original purchase, and 30 years have gone by since then.

I'd say the 2X2 designation is pretty much meaningless, just marketing. I've always wanted one of those - thinking that with a drop bar they'd make a perfect all surfaces road bike. Cannondale didn't make a CX frame at the time. I'd be happy to find a nice one in my size for € 200.

Looks like you have it pinned down, a 1992 R900. I checked my '92 R1000 and it has the same stamp in the right chainstay as your R900. I'm guessing it was used to identify the frame type before it got painted. I would expect all 1992 2.8 frames to have the same stamp, and all '92 3.0 frames...

I think you have the dates right: built in July 2000 for the 2001 model year. Just like cars, new bike models are sometimes rolled out 5 months before the start of the new year. Craig (MendonCycleSmith) is the guy to talk to about Headshok rebuilds. Great photos, hope you will post more as it...

I'd be interested in the pedals if Brian doesn't want them.

Pretty sure there is a size stamp in the shell circa 1998. Also look for a 2 letter code that will give month and year of manufacture.

Welcome. It's always N+1 for me, but that approach does complicate life. Let me know if you decide to sell it. I have some 32 mm knobby Vittorias on my 1995 SR500. I would guess that the team used the widest available Vittoria slick tubular for races like Paris Roubaix. In the catalog...

Great find. Pretty sure that's a 1998 frame, only year for that fork decal. 1997 forks just had the Headshok decal, didn't say Silk Road. 1999 forks had carbon legs. If you look at page 52 in the 1998 catalog you will see a picture of Paolo Fornaciari riding one at Paris Roubaix. Don't...

I wonder if someone added the Lefty. Pretty sure the Lefty was introduced at the same time the 2nd generation Ravens came out (2000 models). The Lefty models were designated SX and the Headshoks SL. I couldn't find the yellow swingarm on any US model 1999 Raven, and the catalog doesn't show a...

I sent him another message. Don't know if he is back home yet.

Post a pic soon. Here's my 1993 after arriving home from a 30 mile trip with a wheel box - in the snow, at night.

Only two recent ebay sales for Ravens with Leftys. One sold for $850, the other for $1400. There have been several listed with Headshok forks. Cheapest one sold for around $450.

He is in OK this weekend. Don't hesitate to remind me to keep prodding him.

A guy who works in a shop in Louisiana thinks he has one. Will get back with details if he finds it.
