I don't remember seeing that paint color before. From your pictures it looks to be a dark grey metallic. I have an older Cannondale mountain bike that is grey metallic but your frame looks much darker. I did look up the 2000 Euro catalog on the wayback machine, but the colors on the road...

Welcome. See my comments about the frame in your other thread.

Pretty sure that frame was a 2000 model as the KJ stamp translates to October 1999 production. Also believe 2000 was the first year for the Prodigy fork. Interesting that the CAAD3 models in the 2000 catalog all have threaded forks while the CAAD4s are threadless. That could be due to a...

Team Blue and Viper Red always look good.

Wondering if you could call around to bike co-ops and locate one. I know the one in downtown St. Louis takes a lot of donated bikes apart and sells them. That particular co-op sells a lot of stuff on ebay, but others don't.

Sounds like a 1999 F1000, size large.

Welcome. Full suspension Cannondales do turn up for sale here from time to time.

What first attracted me to the brand was that the frames were made in the USA at a time when most manufacturers in the USA were struggling and lots of production was being shifted to cheaper labor markets. I simply wanted to support workers in my country and do what I could to keep some...

Made in USA is always a plus if that's where you live. The Lone Peak bags look fine but with no experience with them that's all I can contribute. Let us know how the rack works out.

I have no idea. I would message Craig at Mendoncyclesmith.

I probably have more questions than answers. What type of riding do you want to do and how much do you want to spend on the build?

Rear racks are generally pretty adaptable to various frames. I have a 1997 F frame so can see if I have something to recommend. I really do like the Jannd pannier bags for groceries. They are made to fit traditional paper grocery bags which should give you an idea about size.

I agree, not a Cannondale.

Just as a point of reference: I'm pretty sure any race car older than ten years old is eligible for vintage racing events. All the ones I worked on are over 20 years old (one is 50!), so I'm feeling old just thinking about vintage.

Sounds like you have it dialed in. Enjoy riding it.

That's a beauty.

It's great to see how much effort you put into your builds.

I think I have a better looking XT short cage rear derailleur if you want to swap the cages.

That is great. I've always wanted to do something similar and open for public viewing. Someone needs to open a Cannondale museum.

Might be a bit more than 30 years old, but nice to see someone appreciating an early Cannondale road frame.
