It looks great to me. I've purchased a few XCD cranks on eBay for a planned reproduction of my old bike, but yours is nicer than any that I have landed. You really should spring for a set of top tube cable guides.

Looks to be a touring model from the 1980s. Not sure that the 1984 touring bikes had the rear rack mounts. Better photos taken from the right side might help pin down the year and model.

Very nice. I'm with you, the DX will be functionally the same as XT.

That serial number/placement doesn't seem to match any of the systems that Cannondale used. Pictures of the frame would help. Does it take 26" wheels?

1998 F400 was 7 speed and had the Power Grip Plus shifters, so maybe that's what you have. I can't explain the paint unless it's as you say and they switched the color before they changed to the 1999 components. You may find that you get used to the ride of the road bike. Most find them to...

I'm wondering if that could be a 1999 as 1998 came with a Rockshox Indy S fork. 1999 had a P Bone M fork, was Alivio/LX 8 speed with SRAM Centera shifters. Color looks right, though the yellow decals are shown on the Super Black version.

I will have to look at my frames from that era, but I recall a two letter code for the build year and month, with no numeral for the day. If you are pretty sure that it is a 1998 F400, you can download the catalog and see how your bike compares to the catalog description.

Sounds like the changes are working out. Glad to hear that you are happy with it.

I have one and it's been great to me for over 25 years. $350 seems fair. https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bik/d/chicago-cannondale-m800-aluminum/7188836135.html

I don't think we know much about the other number. It's hard to say anything definite about the paint except that it wasn't standard on any 1992 models that I've seen. One-off for some special event, team paint, repaint are all possibilities.

Are you sure that there isn't another number preceding the first 0? Starting with 0 doesn't match the serial number configuration of the frame era (1989-1992). The paint isn't original, but Cannondale did similar paint later.

Serial number is usually on the underside of the chain stay, but could be on the underside of the seat stay. That said, I have two 3.0 Series MTB frames here that I can't find a serial number on.

.

This might work. Guessing you could use it if you wanted to move the stop either forward or aft and drill another hole in the stay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Slotted-Cable-Housing-Stop-guide-alloy-black-frame-building-part-rivet-on-16mm/203031100717?hash=item2f4598bd2d:g:Z1QAAOSwDxhc0sbZ

Let me know if it turns out to be a 20" frame. 18" will be too small for me.

Thanks. Pretty sure mine was 22", but may have been 20". I've made a lot of trips to IC in the past 30 years, mostly to see bands at Gabe's. Uncle Tupelo, the Jayhawks, the Flaming Lips, Link Wray, House of Large Sizes, Tommy Keene, the Bent Scepters, Alejandro Escovedo, Mike Watt, Yo La...

Checking with a guy who has restored a lot of 80s Cannondales to see if he has any options. Be sure to get back to me if you don't come up with something.

I will have to look at some of my frames, vaguely remember the part. Guessing that I can fabricate a workable replacement if you aren't concerned about it looking original.

Looks right, SunTour GPX 6 speed build. I have been looking for one since mine was stolen in 1995. My first Cannondale, purchased new.

I would have to be well compensated to take a bike in that condition apart. It looks to me like a bike that someone could get thousands of miles of use out of.
