Great job!

I viewed the bike. Too small. Bummer. It’s a 58 cm. But it is a 1984. No crack at the drive side crank arm and spider junction. So that’s good. For someone. Rims are fairly true and best of all: NO bent fork.

They come in a package of three and should arrive today. So I'll have some spares....

Me too! ;) A thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay. And/or have room for. The seller is most likely to reject my offer in order to wait for a better one.

Yes, I’d definitely ride first before buying. I’ve learned a lot in the last couple of years. Enough to make a decent appraisal of a bike (I hope). At the top of my list is no bent forks. Not even a little bit. I’m currently dealing with two. I think I could judge fit for myself pretty good as...

Thanks for that! I read on the interwebz this week (don’t recall where) while looking for SR900 info that an 84 would have metal cable guides on the top tube vs plastic. True? I imagine there couldn’t have been a whole bunch of SR900’s made. I haven’t been into Cannondale’s long enough to...

Unfortunately I wasn’t around when you were selling good ones. Other than robbing them off another Cannondale I’m at the mercy of what’s available only on ebay.

Another project of yours that I am looking forward to the future progress. Eccellente!

I called the seller. It might be big enough. He's 6'1" and says it's too big for him. He was given the bike from a family member a couple of years ago. Because he's the family "bike guy". Except he's into BMX and 40's-50's cruisers. Only accepted the offer of a free bike because it was kitted...

Well, I should’ve perused the catalogs a little better. Because a 1985 (or 1984) SR900 is what this appears to be… Now that price doesn’t seem as ridiculous as I first thought. Not that I have that much at this time. Would be a neat addition. If it were big enough.

His ad does state to call for more info. Thinking about calling. Cuz there has to be a good story. The pictures of the bike are taken in a car wash bay. So he at least cleaned the dust off.

Local CL ad. $750 obo. Looks like a neat build. Needs tlc. And shorter cable housings. I’m recalling some special model that did come with Campagnolo. I could be confused. It happens after looking at thousands of bike ads for the last couple of years. (Edit: found online a 89 SR900 and this...

I found the reason for the binding rear brake. It was in the cable housing. A flat spot that is right where the housing has to make a bend exiting the brake lever. Fortunately I had another new section of 11/87 dated Dia Compe housing. Installed, re-wrapped bars and ops check normal. Now I...

Ordered these from ebay

While troubleshooting a binding rear brake on my BL I put too much stress on a cable guide and it broke. They must get brittle with age as I don’t think I had a lot of force on the plastic guide. Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

I do remember the Crest Cannondale. The gears in my head spun for a bit trying to figure out how to get it out West.

I do like the color and I don’t know why. Could be an 80’s vibe thing. It’s a 60cm frame. I could ride it. Neat find!

I’m on day 10 of the “injury”. I had a couple of awkward, semi heavy tasks at work that week before the injury event that may have contributed. The day of the injury was ride three for the week at temperatures of 19-22 degrees F. I was wearing a new riding pants style that wasn’t adequately...

Very close to being back on the road. The bike that is. Me, not so much. Lower back issue.

Thanks @black lightning 1987 I did find a set by FSA on the bay. Looking forward to finishing up the project and getting the Batbike back on the road.
