    Need info , received as father's day present today

    Is there a bar code sticker on the frame? The first letter would give the year of manufacture. N = 2002, O = 2003, P = 2004, Q = 2005, R = 2006, S = 2007

    1999 CAAD 4 R4000

    I've always liked my Team Blue R4000 but have never seen the other two paint schemes except in photos. I have a CAAD3 R4000 with the flip flop paint that's admittedly much flashier than Team Blue.

    1999 CAAD 4 R4000

    Interesting that the USA Fade was discontinued and Team Blue substituted. I wonder why.

    Out of Commission for a While

    Sorry to hear this. I can relate to the bruising and soreness. I hit a raccoon and went over the bar, landing on my hip. I had bruising from kidney to navel, very ugly. The next time I hit one I got a concussion and broken collar bone. Are you having trouble unclipping? Have you played...

    1999 CAAD 4 R4000

    Another paint job that's not in the catalog. Mine is Team Blue with yellow decals. I've never seen one in ChromaLusion Jade.

    Not one, but two, primo condition 1989 SM400 mountain bikes

    Wish that blue one was an SM800, which was my first Cannondale - stolen in 1995. I've never seen another.

    2001(?) XR800 Cyclocross Cannondale

    I think that they were black only that one year. The first few years of CX bikes were only sold in one color - at least according to the catalogs. Interesting that the Headshok version is titled CX Ultra in the catalog but still has XS800 decals.

    Upgrading groupset on 1992 T600

    Could you loosen the left side nuts enough so that you could get wrenches on the right side and lock them, then go back and adjust and lock the left side?

    Restoring a 1993 R900

    I'll try to remember to check a 28 on one of my 2.8 frames. I know that I've run them on earlier and later Cannondales but the aluminum fork on the 2.8s might have less clearance.

    1985 SC300 Town & Country

    I can't recall seeing a size that wasn't in the catalog before. I'm thinking that the 1985 catalog has the wrong sizes listed. 1986 sizes for the same frames were all even numbers. Great bike.

    1-1/4 " Threadless stem adaptor/conversion

    I thought that Nitto might make one. They have a huge range of products.

    Highest touring model seen

    That one is close enough that I could pick it up. Too bad that it's not bigger.

    Unknown model with Campagnolo Chorus from 1988?

    I don't know if Cannondale printed catalogs showing photos of all models in those years. There were some years with more than one catalog.

    1-1/4 " Threadless stem adaptor/conversion

    Does anyone make a 1 1/4" quill to threadless adapter? Simple to make but surely weighs quite a bit more than the Innicycle setup.

    Upgrading groupset on 1992 T600

    What model of saddle? I couldn't find it on their site.

    Mavic MTB tribute

    I'm not sure if all Mavic posts were black but a black one is shown on the bike in the 1991 catalog photo. My 1992 R1000 should have a black Kingsberry, which I have not been able to find. If you look at the 1991 and 1992 catalog photos, the posts appear identical. The Kingsberry posts that I...

    1988 SM500

    It looks great. Reminds me of the team blue with yellow decals models from the late 90s.

    Highest touring model seen

    I have purchased 4 or 5 Cannondale touring bikes from the 1980s but would agree that more road models were sold. Later touring models seem to be more scarce than the early ones.

    Unknown model with Campagnolo Chorus from 1988?

    I wonder if it could have been a mid model year introduction. If so likely would have been called SR1000. I think that the 1990 models have the paint color split closer to the center of the tubes. No Campagnolo on Cannondales in 1991 as far as I can tell. Does it have a Regina freewheel?
