Listing is gone now. How much were they asking?

Color looks a bit light, but could be a 1997 F1000. For sure an F series from 1997-1999.

I love the ST frames and that one looks pretty nice. Are you sure about the size?

I'm not up on current Shimano, kind of surprised to see 8 speed. Pedals look nice. I've used similar Exustar pedals but the XTs look much lighter.

I would just get some short stainless set screws and put them in with some anti seize compound. You can fill the hex and the spring holes in with silicone.

Your ?? letters are likely the date code, so that's a good starting place. There were a few models where the Killer V frame was used only in the smallest sizes, but it seems to me that was before 2000. There were European models that don't show up in the USA catalogs, so you could have one of...

Lots of 6/7 speed Shimano and SunTour parts laying around here. Let me know if you need anything.

Yes, a 1987 SR400. It's quite rare to find an 80s frame in that kind of condition. How are you going to build it? Shimano 600EX would look great on that frame.

What parts are on it now? Except for the Mavic equipped 1992 R1000, all the road bikes in that era came with Shimano 7-8 speed groups. I have a few bikes with 8 speed Campagnolo. It works well and has the advantage over Shimano in that the Ergo shifters are rebuildable (and more reliable)...

Looks like a great project. Where did you find the Headshok parts?

Nice work Jim.

Are you thinking of a bike with 650C or 700C wheel size? Cannondale made time trial frames with both wheel sizes at the time. I don't know what the team used but I'd guess 700C. In 2001 the frame would have been a CAAD4. I don't have a better scan of the 2001 catalog, but I have a print copy...

I can't answer one way or the other. Gazelle bikes and frames turn up here, but I don't recall them ever being offered for sale by a US retailer. It's certainly possible that they were sold here by a company that I was not aware of.

I had one pair of STI (can't recall what model) with a rear shifter that wouldn't work until I put it under very hot running water. I'd tried various oil based flushes with no luck, but the hot water cured it. The direct cable routing, simplicity and light weight remain selling points for...

The Gazelle is a beauty. Were there other carbon models? Probably very hard to find in the USA. I knew Time was making a lot of carbon forks back then but I don't remember the frames.

Bar end shifters are a nice compromise, work great and are more reliable than STI. GripShift is probably the lightest option. I recall Bicycle Guide building a weight weenie bike about 25 years ago. They used GripShift. The road models are kind of hard to find now. I have a pair on a Trek...

Remember to check clearance with the brake calipers as well as the frame. I have a bare (except for headset) 1987 road frameset here. I should weigh it out of curiosity. None of those models were very light by today's standards, 21-22 pounds according to the catalog. Even most of the 2.8...

I have a Trek 1200 as well, but mine is a bit older. Built with 6 speed SunTour from an eBay frameset. My newest bike is a 2010 CAAD9. Just built it this week though the frame has been sitting here for 7 years. It was pretty modern back in 2013.

Welcome Jak. I have a 1987 SR600 that I've put about 8,000 miles on. It's plenty stiff but I think the harsh ride reputation is overstated. I'm pretty sure you can fit some brands of 28 mm tires on them if you want a bit nicer ride. I used to run Specialized 26 mm tires on mine but I'm not...

There were a couple of rigid '97 CAAD3 models, the M900 and M1000. I'd guess what you have was sold as a frameset or is a replacement frame for one of those. We see quite a few frames lacking model numbers that have different paint from what would be "right" for the year and frame type. We...
