That looks good. It's always nice to put a short chunk of seatpost in the seat tube if you can come up with one.

I did run a die over an M8 thread to see what it looked like. First three threads were pretty much intact, fourth was cut down somewhat, and fifth was cut pretty much down the center. I will try to get some M8 bosses and see how they turn out. I can swap them to one of my frames if it works...

Looks like it's pretty much ready to ride. What do you plan to change?

That may be an ST400 but it's hard to tell much from the low resolution pictures. I can't see how bad the paint is but black is fairly easy to touch up with a brush and make look presentable. I have sanded, masked, and spray painted single tubes that had more damage.

I've never deleted a thread but I'm sure Brian can do it. Did you see the red/white/blue Volvo '96 Olympics replica? Yet another paint scheme that's not in the catalog.

Cool color. I have a 1998 R4000 in Kameleon Fire. Wish my Silk Road had the Kameleon paint instead of white.

Pretty sure that's 1998 (1st year) Raven. The 1st gen Ravens had frame durability issues but I'd still like to have one. You might want to determine size. Easiest thing to measure is the wheelbase. Most recent sale of one of these framesets went for a best offer of something under the $250...

I've seen similar paint before but not sure if I've seen it on an F series frame. About all I can add is that CAAD3 was used on F900s and lower in 1998. F1000 and above were CAAD4.

I saw the eBay listing. Are you keeping the parts in hopes of transferring them to a Volvo frame?

I've been looking for an SH for a while. That's a 21" frame, I'd be very interested if it were larger. Good luck finding a new owner for it. For anyone interested: It's made for 700c wheels and came with 35 mm tires originally. Original spec was Shimano LX/DX 7 speed, which generally...

Sent you an email.

Easiest is probably to measure the wheelbase: centerline of front hub to centerline of rear hub with someone holding front wheel straight ahead. That said, the size may be stamped in the BB shell.

I might be interested. What size is it?

I think that's a 2006 F600. I don't have any experience with frames that new but this headset sounds like it will work for what you want to do. I wouldn't think that the increased stack of headset would hurt the geometry much, though it might slacken the effective head tube angle a bit. Not...

The only explanation I can offer is that the BB shell didn't get faced to the right width during the production process. You haven't provided the year of the bike but I'm guessing that it's 1992-3. Shimano BB-UN70 was the BB that was specified for the XT equipped bikes at the time. The UN70...

Sure that you have a 70 mm shell? I've never seen a Cannondale that had a 70 mm shell. If it is in fact 70 mm and has English threading, have a bike shop face the shell down to 68 mm. You could also run a Phil Wood or similar type bottom bracket. It (like some other brands) has no ledges on...

It's always nice to have everything "right" on a vintage bike. Can be tough to accomplish some times.

Cannondale may have made their own racks. I have some newer racks that are Cannondale branded. The racks you want are fairly distinctive looking. Here's one from a 1988 T1000 that looks the same as 1987 except for the paint...

It's a nice bike. Perhaps you will reconsider the sale.

I think that is a 1994 R900. It was just one place down from top of the line at the time, and gave up very little in actual performance to the R2000. It looks to be mostly original, only the saddle and handlebar are not in line with what the catalog shows. The bike isn't particularly rare but...
