Wow, that looks great. What's the color called? How are you building it?

If it was made in the last half of 2002 it would be a 2003 model. Remember that new models are introduced in late summer. I can check again, but I don't think there are any Optimo frames in the 2002 catalog. I have a print copy of the 2004 catalog, but not the 2003. Some colors may have...

New to me. I think I see an Optimo decal, so that would place it 2003 or newer. Most likely newer as I think only the top end road bikes in 2003 were designated Optimo. Since it's disc even more likely that it's newer. Optimo designation didn't last more than 3 years or so. Are you in...

If you are interested in something in another color, I have a really nice blue 3.0 bike. Would have to verify but I think it's a 1988 SR800. As I recall it's a 54.5, but could be a 53. Not sure about the distinction between the road and crit frames, suppose mine could be either.

I'm assuming you are looking for a rear derailleur. I'm not sure if cable pull changed between 8 and 9 speed SRAM rear shifters. I have new 9 speed SRAM RDs on the shelf, not sure about 8. I'll check 8/9 compatibility. Actually, your bike should be 9 speed according to the catalog. In that...

Pics would help. Sounds like a Synapse 7. Just a random year, but in 2013 they were either black with neon green or white with grey.

Decals look a bit newer than 1996 to me. I would guess 1999-2000 M400.

Me too. I'd love to find my '89 SM800. Need to see if I have a serial number.

F2000 SX and R1000 had stars and stripes paint in 2000 but catalog doesn't show that saddle. Wonder if it was made up with the intention of being used on those bikes, but for whatever reason wasn't used in the catalog photos.

Hope you locate it. This one in STL is either a 58 or a 60, looks in pretty decent shape. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/bik/d/cannondale-black-lightning-14/6530821201.html

Sounds like your measurements are a bit in conflict with the geometry chart. A "56 cm" SR500 seat tube measured 23.1" (58.7 cm) to top, and had a 22.05" (56 cm) ETT. The 54 cm frame had a 22.4" (56.9 cm) seat tube and a 21.46" (54.8 cm) ETT.

What size is it? Not sure I've ever seen a Silk Road bigger than 56 cm, but they surely made some.

I think the 600 was only offered one year in the USA, 2004. European models may have differed. I think it may have said Road Warrior in the catalog, but Warrior on the frames. Some years had an "R" after the number, presumably meaning road. Here's one on Milwaukee craigslist...

After looking, I found that one of the frames is an Optimo. For some reason it was a CAAD5 in my head. I don't really want to sell the other one as I've been trying to collect an example of each series of US built road frames. Started with a 3.0, then a new CAAD4 R4000 - have been filling in...

I think that's a fairly early tandem, 1989 or so. Believe it's 25"/23" as indicated in serial number. If so captain's seat tube should measure about 26 1/8" from center of crank to top of tube, stoker's about 22 7/8". Not sure about rest of serial number, but might indicate May 8, 1988 build...

I'm sure the rear spacing was 130 mm, which is still the standard for 11 speed road. Just be careful on what wheels you buy, as there are surely some 135 mm spaced wheels out there for cx/gravel frames.

Checked my CAAD5s, both are 60 cm. Not your colors but I think only .75 cm longer top tube than a 58. Looking for solid colors or fades OK? 2002 R500 was solid yellow, 2003 R800 was solid blue. There were some other models with fades. Happy to facilitate if you find something in northern...

Might be a 2007 Adventure 400. Download the catalog and check your components against what's in the catalog.
