    1990 SM600 for sale. Great condition!

    That's a nice find. If you can't get it sold locally ebay is probably the place with the largest audience.

    Serial number beginning with 18?

    Welcome. Hard to tell much about the model without pictures but it's an 18" frame made on August 27, 1986. It was the 79th frame made that day. I'm guessing it's probably a 1989 model. Paint and any original parts will help with ID.

    Hello from Poland :)

    There's always hope. Look at how much better McLaren is doing this year compared to 2 or 3 years back. Headshok tools pop up on ebay from time to time but I've not seen any service manuals. There are a couple of European Headshok service places on the links page...

    Hello from Poland :)

    Welcome. We seem to get a lot of questions about bikes that were sold in Europe. We have European catalogs for some years but it's not clear to me in which years separate market catalogs were printed. OT: Hoping Kubica can land a decent result some day soon.

    Need frame ID please!

    No CAAD4s in 1998, so have to assume it's a 1999 model. My guess is that Cannondale did away with the canti bosses on some F models at some point after the 1999 catalog was printed. If you look at the 2000 catalog you will see canti bosses on the F800 and below, while the F900 and above lacked...

    1991 SE Omega EST

    I can't help with establishing a value as I've never seen one for sale. I did see a nice original SE1000 for sale earlier this week for $150 - it didn't last long. We have a couple of members needing that shock wrench. Perhaps you could trace it so we have a good pattern to make a couple of...

    Greetings from Switzerland, I need your HELP !

    I'm guessing you are going to have to find an automotive paint store that will match the paint as closely as they can. Not sure if they can get very close from a photo.

    411 and help needed on my unicorn (2004 Road Warrior 1000)

    I hope he can fix you up. It's a shame that Cannondale is no longer supplying repair parts.

    What Cannondale is this and what year

    What do you see that makes you sure that it's not the original the fork? If I have the right model and year, the original fork would have been painted white. Any chance it's just been stripped and polished?

    What Cannondale is this and what year

    Looks like a 1992 R500 to me. Have a look at the 1992 catalog - the 3.0 series frame decal on the chainstay and the made in USA seat tube decals are a match. Should have had a model decal on the top tube, but perhaps they were out of them on the day your frame was made.

    411 and help needed on my unicorn (2004 Road Warrior 1000)

    It's great that you have ridden it that many miles. For parts or service you might check with Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith. He services headshoks and leftys. http://mendoncyclesmith.com/ If he can't rebuild it you are probably going to be replacing the fork or at least the damping section. My...

    Frame swap

    3.0 frame? What's the red one? I would have to build them both up.... Very nice cable guide. Did you make that? For restorations, Brian has reproductions of the originals available.

    Greetings from Switzerland, I need your HELP !

    I hope you guys can make a deal. It's a bit disappointing to think that all three of us have had Cannondales stolen.

    Returning to the fold in England

    There were separate geometries for the drop and flat bar versions of the Warrior. Both were available with rigid or Headshok forks. Chain stays are 4.6 cm longer on the flat bar version, and the top tube is considerably longer as well, especially on the smaller frames. Both pics are from the...

    CAAD7 R3000 or Team Replica

    I have new Centaur Ultratorque cranks circa 2008. I have a black rear derailleur with the new logo but not sure of the year. Have a new pair of 2009 carbon Centaur Ultrashift levers but it will take big $ to get me to part with them. Cassettes vary with the year, some are all loose cogs...

    Looking for 90's era quill stem bolt and cap

    You need the long bolt that engages the wedge? The cap will be harder to locate.

    CAAD7 R3000 or Team Replica

    Bits and pieces of Chorus and Record, mostly cranks, BBs, calipers and derailleurs. Nothing approaching a matching group.

    CAAD7 R3000 or Team Replica

    I have lots of Centaur stuff, so just grabbed some that was handy. There are other options for derailleurs, cassettes, cranks. This group is period correct except for the later BB and RD. 172.5 crank, 39/53, new 12-25 cassette. Calipers have one 50 mile ride on them. I will try to remember...

    Time for comfort

    Kind of surprising that braking power was a problem here in IL but perhaps you are in far south or far NW.

    CAAD7 R3000 or Team Replica

    I have 2003 R1000 frameset here waiting to be built up, just like yours except size and paint. Although the 9s are kind of looked upon as the most desirable of the USA made road frames, I don't think the 7s give up much to them. Don't know how prices run on 15 year old parts in NZ, but mid...
