    Mystery Road Bike

    Assuming an AL steerer I'd call it a 2002 R2000 but it's not a color that shows in the catalog.

    Need new Downtube shifters!

    Do you not have the original Cannondale shifter bosses? You won't find a clamp to fit the Cannondale down tube, and it would be risky to try to clamp the AL tubing anyway. I'd recommend getting a pair of indexed shifters that match your rear derailleur. I have lots of 7 speed Shimano. If you...

    Mystery Road Bike

    56 cm and 2001 manufacture. My guess would be a 2002 model since it has the bar code. If 2002 it would have to be a CAAD5 frame. Components and fork details might help determine model but would be R700 Si or above. The R700 was Tiagra, the R900 was 105, and the R2000 was Ultegra. R3000 and...

    headshok in 1997 m900????

    Hard to say about the paint but the OP is in a better position than I to judge originality. I don't know how the matte finishes were done at the factory, whether decals were clear coated. Seems unlikely that reproduction decals would have included a size decal though. Anyone know if there are...

    Super V 500 - What year?

    Risse has some options for Cannondales. I would guess Fox does as well. https://www.risseracing.com/cannondale.shtml

    Unknown Cannondale CAAD 8

    Sorry about your friend. That looks like a 2015 CAAD8 to me. The component group was part of the model name that year, there were 105 5, Tiagra 6, Sora 7, and Claris 8 models.

    Is This A Good Buy

    That's a 1988 ST400. I have the next model up, the ST700 and paid quite a bit more than $200 for it. Your bike has the exact same frame. You could probably get $200 for just the frame and fork on eBay. Current listings for Cannondale touring framesets range from $140-500. The last one to...

    headshok in 1997 m900????

    I thought at first that it was a 1999 F900 because the paint matches. Production date (1997, August) doesn't fit though. I can't explain the M900 decal but am guessing someone had brain fade when ordering decals. Looking closer it appears to lack caliper mounts, and the F900 had disc brakes...

    I think it's a Trail but I haven't found it in any catalog. Couldn't find a 2018 catalog. Did the seller give you any idea on age?

    Super V 500 - What year?

    There was a Team Blue 2000 SV500 in Europe only. I think that's what you are looking at. The Super Fatty M fork only had preload adjustment I think, no lockout. Check the specs on this page: http://web.archive.org/web/20061015232317/http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/ce/model-0VA5.html

    Frame crack unusual ?

    Too bad about the split as it's in pretty nice shape. Guessing it's good for a lot of miles though.

    Early Super Vs seem to be selling in the $300-600 range in the USA...

    Can you tell me anything about it? 26" or 29", model of fork, components, etc.

    Frame crack unusual ?

    The problem with welding is that it would soften the weld area/heat affected zone of the tube. Guessing that it wouldn't be a problem on the seat stay though. How did you build it and what's the intended use?

    unknown cannondale

    See if there's a bar code decal on the bottom bracket shell and tell me what the first letter of the printed sequence is. That should give us the year. Some details on the components may help with the ID.

    Lefty headset spacers?

    I could probably cut a 5 mm spacer out of one on the lathe.

    Frame crack unusual ?

    What are you going to do with it? I suppose you could ride as is and keep an eye on the damaged area. I might try making a patch out of 6061 and bonded with epoxy.

    Cannondale R800 Cad3 1997 custom

    Very nice. You should try to find a nice 7700 Dura Ace crankset for it. They are kind of hard to find as the finish doesn't hold up very well, but you can sand and polish them and make them look very nice.

    Frame crack unusual ?

    I've not seen that previously. Wondering if it could have been full of water and frozen? Water can get into the stay via a vent hole in the seat tube, but I think the lower end of the stay is water tight.
