Guy, I have been reading your blog at odd moments and just read the one entitled "Rant". A coincidence as you mentioned liv-cycling in the blog. One of the shops I called on Wednesday is a long time Cannondale dealer, Russell's Cycling and Fitness in Washington, IL. When you click on their...

Yes, very nice parts on the bike, but it should stay intact. My niece has a couple of daughters but there's no indication that they'd be interested in a road bike.

Wow, I've never seen one that small. Never considered that they would have to run the top tube into the down tube. It's tempting to add that to the collection. Would you sell me the catalog?

Still making calls on this.....

Pretty hard to tell anything from the full bike photo. I have no idea whether MORI on the frame is a coincidence or not, but it's very interesting. Doubt that anyone would have serial number information for team bikes at this point in time, and likely only the team mechanics would know which...

Wow. That's well worth $500 shipped, I'd say. It's a 1993. The stock red anodized Coda brakes would be hard to find I'm sure. Catalog pic shows black chain rings, but Cannondales didn't always come exactly as pictured in the catalogs. Tires have likely been changed. IRC Mythos were what...

I don't recall seeing pinch bolts on the cups of my 1992 Delta V. Not sure if mine was made early in the run or late. Looking at the 1993 catalog pic of the DV700 I can see what looks like screw heads on both cups. Will have to check mine.

I wish I was as motivated as you. I have most of the parts to reproduce my first Cannondale but keep doing other projects instead of getting the paint work done.

Can the fork be pulled out of the frame without disturbing the shock/spring assembly? The only Headshok that I've removed from the frame was on a 1995 Silk Road that had seized roller bearings. It came out without any problems.

Total guess on my part, but I couldn't find any inch sized bearings anywhere with closer dimensions. Seems odd that Cannondale would have specified an inch sized bearing on top and a metric on bottom but I guess that options are limited in that size range. You should be able to find that...

Closest I have been able to find is a 6809, which is 58 mm x 45 mm x 7 mm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/6809-2RS-two-side-rubber-seals-bearing-6809-rs-ball-bearings-6809-rs/132238430830?hash=item1eca06526e:g:mOYAAOSwstxVGAzG:rk:1:pf:0 Might take some machine work on both the fork and the headset...

Not cheap, but there's one on eBay. Still believe I could make one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-Vintage-MTB-Headshok-or-Lefty-Castle-Tool-106447-same-as-104110/352553264890?epid=21027411809&hash=item5215cfe6fa:g:U1QAAOSwXI1cIsNM:rk:30:pf:0

OK, 57.15 works out to 2 1/4", so I'd start looking for that OD.

Nothing on eBay that I could find. I'd start with long time Cannondale dealers, or at least shops that sold Cannondale in that era and remained in business. I know of one in my area, now the Trek Store in Davenport, Iowa. Shop is owned by Olympian and former 7-Eleven pro Jeff Bradley. I'll...

Do you not have the old bearing? Should be a part number on it which you can take to bearing supplier. I suppose I can pull the fork off my 1992 and see if there's a number if you can't figure out the bearing from dimensions. I'm guessing the OD is either 58.72 mm (2 5/16") or 60.32 mm (2...

Looking great. It's nice to see you putting so much work into the frame. I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild, only in the shops when they were current.

I would check bearing suppliers. You will need accurate measurements of OD, ID, and thickness. Also check with Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith. He does a lot of Cannondale fork service work. http://mendoncyclesmith.com/ If you can't find one, you might consider converting to the newer style...

From 1991 SE1000 perhaps?

Just be sure that is in fact V1 Octalink. ISIS looks similar but has 10 splines I think.

I would check with a good Cannondale dealer first but doubt that they will be able to provide paint codes. If you have a good hobby shop, check the little jars of model paint for a close match. I often use fingernail polish for touch ups. It's hard to get a perfect match but it can look...
