I'd be interested in the pedals if Brian doesn't want them.

Pretty sure there is a size stamp in the shell circa 1998. Also look for a 2 letter code that will give month and year of manufacture.

Welcome. It's always N+1 for me, but that approach does complicate life. Let me know if you decide to sell it. I have some 32 mm knobby Vittorias on my 1995 SR500. I would guess that the team used the widest available Vittoria slick tubular for races like Paris Roubaix. In the catalog...

Great find. Pretty sure that's a 1998 frame, only year for that fork decal. 1997 forks just had the Headshok decal, didn't say Silk Road. 1999 forks had carbon legs. If you look at page 52 in the 1998 catalog you will see a picture of Paolo Fornaciari riding one at Paris Roubaix. Don't...

I wonder if someone added the Lefty. Pretty sure the Lefty was introduced at the same time the 2nd generation Ravens came out (2000 models). The Lefty models were designated SX and the Headshoks SL. I couldn't find the yellow swingarm on any US model 1999 Raven, and the catalog doesn't show a...

I sent him another message. Don't know if he is back home yet.

Post a pic soon. Here's my 1993 after arriving home from a 30 mile trip with a wheel box - in the snow, at night.

Only two recent ebay sales for Ravens with Leftys. One sold for $850, the other for $1400. There have been several listed with Headshok forks. Cheapest one sold for around $450.

He is in OK this weekend. Don't hesitate to remind me to keep prodding him.

A guy who works in a shop in Louisiana thinks he has one. Will get back with details if he finds it.

I'm checking around but without luck so far. Do you have any long time Cannondale dealers in Montreal? I have a couple near by that I will try to call in the next few days.

Welcome. I don't have a spare. Wondering if you could use a clamp-on front derailleur. Might have to narrow the clamp down between the riv-nuts so it fits the tube.

Don't see these very often. $250 minimum bid. I'd be tempted if it was local. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-1FG-SingleSpeed-Mountain-Bike-Headshok-Handmade-in-the-USA-Hardtail-M/303185947002?hash=item46974a697a:g:0bsAAOSwkpxdAIZX

Certainly willing to part with one. If you decide that another length would be better after trying the first one I would be happy to trade. You will have to eat the shipping costs in that event. $20 for your choice of stem, + shipping.

26 to 25.4 shim is very thin but guess it would hold up if made of stainless steel. My stems are all black. You might as well use one of the 5 degree 25.4 ones in STL. You could always sand and polish a black one. I've done it with Coda crank arms that were scuffed up. Lots of work but will...

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it were bigger.

OK, that sounds right to me. That's a good article. Did you check out the available stems? Pricey.

Might be tough to find. 1998 was the only year that CAAD3 Saeco frames were made, and 52 cm is not a very common size. What's more important, that it's CAAD3 versus CAAD4/CAAD5/CAAD6, or that it's a Saeco frame? There is this 52 cm CAAD3 R900 on ebay, but it's not Saeco...

You can put cable stops on the downtube bosses and run a flat bar with thumbshifters or Rapidfire. The older frames are 126 mm rear hub spacing, so you will be limited to 7 speed unless you want to spread the frame to 130. That's generally not recommended but I rode thousands of miles on an...

I thought your stem looked longer than 140 mm. My friend in STL hasn't gotten back to me. I can't remember for sure but think there were some silver ones. All I have here are black. The other issue is going to be bar clamp diameter. 1998 catalog says they were made in both 25.4 and 26.0...
