Does it have the large diameter head tube for a Headshok fork? The CAAD3 models in 1998-1999 were all F series frames with Headshoks. There were no rigid CAAD3s. Could be an Iris Blue F2000 frame.

I would say 1997 M300LE. I'm just guessing at the value, but maybe $150.

Yes outside diameter. Pretty sure it's a 1" steerer. Cannondale used some threaded aluminum 1 1/4" forks in the early 90s but they were long gone by 2002.

I wish I had a picture of my '89. I was just over 6' and bought a 22" frame. Your saddle looks pretty low, what's the measurement from crank center to top of saddle? I run around 83 cm on a road bike, a bit less on a MTB. I run the saddle higher than most as I have knee issues if the saddle...

That's a great color. 1" steerer I believe. Measure the OD of the stem quill. If .875" it's a 1" steerer. The Columbus Minimal is the easiest to find 1" carbon fork right now. http://www.henryjames.com/columbus-products/bike-carbon-forks.html Other retailers are getting $250 for the fork...

I think the serial number breaks down to: 0 = 130 dropout spacing 20 = 20" frame 07 = July 90 = 1990 524 = sequence number (I believe # built that month) I'm kind of surprised at the 130 spacing. Although that's all that's needed for 7 speed, I would have guessed all the MTBs were 135 mm...

Guessing that's going to be tough to find outside of one turning up on eBay, most likely as a complete bike or frameset. Believe that same fork was used on the Multisport 2000. There were some other 1" aero forks, I know Profile made one and I believe Reynolds did as well. Does your bike have...

A lot of Sachs hubs (New Success, Rival) used cartridge bearings. They are usually common electric motor bearings, easily replaced. Other Sachs hubs used loose ball bearings. I have a NOS Rival here that uses loose balls. It's freewheel hub, 32 holes. It's 130 mm over lock nuts but could be...

I will need better pictures and the serial number. Does it say 2.8 Series or 3.0 Series?

I'd say a 1992 M700 despite the components not matching. Could have been built from a frameset or the frame from another model could have been replaced under warranty. Wolber rims? Last model to use Wolber was the 1991 1MB. Makes me think the bike may have been built up from a frameset with...

Sorry to hear about the Lefty. Hopefully Craig can get it fixed without having to get too deep into it. I'm sure you will enjoy riding it once you have everything in good shape.

Wondering if your frame sat a while before being built as there were no Manitou shocks used until the 2004 models came out (guessing late summer 2003). Yes, still some V brake Jekyll models in 2004 but that was the last year for them. I've never owned a full suspension Cannondale so I don't...

That decal style was only used on 2003 models. The 500 was available in silver gloss but it came with a Manitou fork in the USA and a Headshok in Europe. My guess is that your bike was built from a frameset. It has the high end Lefty Max fork, which only came on the top two models. The XT...

Pictures and models of various components will help pin down year and model. See my post in your other thread.

I couldn't tell from the picture but according to the catalog, the M1000 came with a SunTour XC Comp Microdrive crank that year. It was actually lighter than the XT equipped M2000. SunTour MTB cranks had the same taper as Shimano. I think you would be safe using a Shimano BB with the same...

Welcome. I think that the bar code sticker is the only way to determine the year of frames built after 2001. We might be able to figure it out by the paint. Looking at the catalogs it appears that 2004 was the last year for a Jekyll with V brakes. I can't tell if the V brake swingarm had a...

I know that there were some Russian titanium frames imported to the USA but I don't remember the brands that sold them. Do you know what year the Gazelle frame was made? Raleigh history is complicated as the brand has changed hands so many times. Last I knew Raleigh and Diamondback were owned...

Too bad about the dents. It looks really nice otherwise. I've never seen a titanium Batavus before. Do you know who built the frames?

Welcome. I really like the Ice Fade paint on the R900 Si. There was a tandem that year with the same colors. That was just one of several nice fades that Cannondale did in that era. Seems I always find bikes with blah paint like silver or white. Is the orange frameset a mountain bike or an...

Could be. Really hard to say. Perhaps a color they were considering using and wanted to see it on a bike? Very similar to a color used in 1985. Wish we had some members who worked at the factory to help with these kinds of questions.
