I think I am a poor judge of value but I would have to say being a 700 series your bike is going to be a more desirable model due to higher end components for the time period. And it does look to be in fantastic condition. Your location and the popularity of mt. bikes around you would influence...

Very inspirational paragraph! @Jon K. In a time long past I was physically active. I was in a decade long section of life of poor physical fitness when I got into cycling two years ago this coming summer. I’ve lost 45 lbs.(20kg’s) and feel so much better. I hope to stay in the saddle riding my...

In all seriousness though; I vote touring bike. With bags. Maybe not all, but at least a rear rack with an insulated bag for cold beverages.

Oh yes! You have lots of space for more Cannondale's. All you really need is enough room for a bike stand for maintenance. And maybe a small workbench. At most that is about 25 sq. ft. Fill 'er up! As far as road or touring bike? Get both. You won't be satisfied otherwise ;)

My first ride in 5 weeks around the neighborhood. Finally tested the last of my 105 “upgrades” I did over the winter. The shifting on the rear is really amazing. So smooth. Mostly. Had a couple of shifts to larger rear cogs where the first swipe on the brifter was met with a dead shift. A quick...

Great job!

I viewed the bike. Too small. Bummer. It’s a 58 cm. But it is a 1984. No crack at the drive side crank arm and spider junction. So that’s good. For someone. Rims are fairly true and best of all: NO bent fork.

They come in a package of three and should arrive today. So I'll have some spares....

Me too! ;) A thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay. And/or have room for. The seller is most likely to reject my offer in order to wait for a better one.

Yes, I’d definitely ride first before buying. I’ve learned a lot in the last couple of years. Enough to make a decent appraisal of a bike (I hope). At the top of my list is no bent forks. Not even a little bit. I’m currently dealing with two. I think I could judge fit for myself pretty good as...

Thanks for that! I read on the interwebz this week (don’t recall where) while looking for SR900 info that an 84 would have metal cable guides on the top tube vs plastic. True? I imagine there couldn’t have been a whole bunch of SR900’s made. I haven’t been into Cannondale’s long enough to...

Unfortunately I wasn’t around when you were selling good ones. Other than robbing them off another Cannondale I’m at the mercy of what’s available only on ebay.

Another project of yours that I am looking forward to the future progress. Eccellente!

I called the seller. It might be big enough. He's 6'1" and says it's too big for him. He was given the bike from a family member a couple of years ago. Because he's the family "bike guy". Except he's into BMX and 40's-50's cruisers. Only accepted the offer of a free bike because it was kitted...

Well, I should’ve perused the catalogs a little better. Because a 1985 (or 1984) SR900 is what this appears to be… Now that price doesn’t seem as ridiculous as I first thought. Not that I have that much at this time. Would be a neat addition. If it were big enough.

His ad does state to call for more info. Thinking about calling. Cuz there has to be a good story. The pictures of the bike are taken in a car wash bay. So he at least cleaned the dust off.

Local CL ad. $750 obo. Looks like a neat build. Needs tlc. And shorter cable housings. I’m recalling some special model that did come with Campagnolo. I could be confused. It happens after looking at thousands of bike ads for the last couple of years. (Edit: found online a 89 SR900 and this...

I found the reason for the binding rear brake. It was in the cable housing. A flat spot that is right where the housing has to make a bend exiting the brake lever. Fortunately I had another new section of 11/87 dated Dia Compe housing. Installed, re-wrapped bars and ops check normal. Now I...

Ordered these from ebay

While troubleshooting a binding rear brake on my BL I put too much stress on a cable guide and it broke. They must get brittle with age as I don’t think I had a lot of force on the plastic guide. Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.
