Sorry, I didn't think about it being a cup for a loose ball bottom bracket and how hard it would be. Kroil works where other penetrating oils won't. You can find it on eBay. About all I can suggest for gripping the cup is a better version of what you've done. Widen and deepen the slots and...

1993 Pepperoni forks (for rigid models) were 1 1/4" threaded and used quill stems. 1994 were threadless on all the MTBs except the 3.8 series. The stem that came with your KV was tig welded steel and has a plated finish. I'm pretty sure that the bolt for the fork clamp is hidden inside the...

Welcome Jim. I have a few in that era as well. Perhaps compare your bikes to those shown in the catalogs. It will be interesting to see how your bikes compare to the US models. It seems that a lot of bikes turn up in the UK and Europe that don't correspond to US models.

So complete bike then? If you are selling, you will get the most out of it by parting it out and selling the frameset separately.

Is it just the left side cup that is stuck? I would soak it with Kroil, give it a couple of good knocks laterally from each side (use punch from inside the BB shell), and see if it will budge. If not I might tap a couple of the pin holes out to 10-32 and screw in long cap screws. Lever...

I didn't find a 1994 KV900 in the catalog. Pictures would clarify the situation. That is the era of the 1 1/4" quill stems on rigid forks but threadless stems were used on the Headshok bikes. Not sure what you have.

Here's a 3.0 Series frame and fork. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-M700-Aluminum-Mountain-Bike-Frame-/363006579413?hash=item5484e0d2d5%3Ag%3AYcwAAOSwxOJe0AX%7E&nma=true&si=JlCZXAP%252BORjordnFZm46EmgYdxU%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Could be a 3.0 Series or CAAD2 frame. Here are some recent CAAD2 sales on eBay. If you have the original fork, it will add a fair amount to the value...

Thanks, wasn't aware of the app. I have a Windows phone which I much prefer to the Android I tried - but lots of apps aren't available for Windows. I have Bluestacks app player on the PC which will sometimes run Android apps. Is the Craigslist app free? Jeez, if this works I might add...

You might want to replace the housing. Guessing that it's been on the bike a while. Inner liner can get full of gummy crud which can prevent the derailleur from easily moving from larger to smaller cogs, just from drag on the cable.

Looks great. Something similar is on my WTB list. Newest front suspension Cannondale in the stable is a 1992 SV900. Newest MTB is a 1995 M900.

It would be nice to see pics of the original Coda setup. I'm wondering if they used a spacer too.

Once the cable is disconnected from the derailleur you should be able to slide the barrel that you twist off the end of the bar, pulling the cable with it. Once the cable is pulled far enough the barrel will come off and you can replace the cable. It's a standard 1.2 mm cable on this type of...

Hmm, you post a WTB in March for two bikes, have them in June. Meanwhile I've been looking for a 1989 SM800 for over 10 years and have yet to see one, much less land one of the right size. Congrats on the purchases. They look like new.

Mike, your input is appreciated. We need a few more knowledgeable members like you to check in and comment regularly. I'm interested in the question and answer, even though I've not owned a Cannondale with disc brakes. My first thought was that it might be something related to the Coda...

I was mistaken about year and model. It's a 1988 ST700. The two bikes are nearly identical but perhaps you won't want the older style top tube logo. I still haven't been to where it's stored to measure it but found an old photo on the computer. Taken in low light so it's not very good. As...

I don't think yours is a 700, unless they changed the details over the course of the years it was built. Some better 700 detail photos here...

Most of the Principias that I have seen do not have ground and finished welds, but it appears that the welds are finished in those catalog pages. It doesn't appear that the catalog bikes have replaceable hangers, but some Principias did have them. Pilo models that were used were D50, D87...

There were three bikes in the Campagnolo equipped Heritage Series that year: The Record equipped Columbus Airplane aluminum Team bike, and the two Columbus Zona steel bikes, the Professional with Chorus and the International with Centaur. Here's a Team frame on eBay. I'd like to have it but...

Welcome. Definitely look into adjusting your brakes. Look at some YouTube videos. There are probably good tips at Park Tool and Sheldon Brown's sites.
