Wish that was longer. I have a white CAAD7 frame here that's missing the fork.

Looks to be a 1988 ST400 even though it has the 1987 style top tube decals. Blueberry color is right for 1988. The touring frames were sized in inches, so 21 is right. The road frames were sized in cm, it just happens that the example used was a road frame.

I tried to access that page earlier today but the site was down. I had pretty much ruled out 2001 because I couldn't see a two letter code with M in your BB shell.

Looks to be in great shape. I've owned 5 STs but they have all been 80s caliper brake frames.

That's a tough one. I'd say it's most likely a 2002 frame that is missing the bar code sticker. I checked my 2002 R3000SI and it doesn't have one either. Metallic Silver was used on some frames that year but I can't explain those decals. Slice Prodigy was used on 2002 CAAD5s from the R700 to...

You can always add spacers if the fork tube is too long. Since you have some spacers now, you can use headsets that have more stack height than your present one. Measure the total stack of all your present headset parts, including the spacers. Don't include the cable hanger as you will need...

You want a 1" threaded headset with ISO dimensions - 30.2 mm cup diameter and 26.4 mm crown race diameter. You should also check the stack height of the current headset. You won't want one that's much taller. I've used Ritchey and Tange Passage at the lower end of the price range and...

I would have guessed that that fork was fairly reliable as it has a coil/micro cellular urethane spring. Perhaps the MCU can be replaced. I'd check with Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith and see what he says. You can buy a reducer headset and put any 1 1/8" fork on it but I would keep the Headshok...

I have a couple of steel forks but would have to use a caliper and would probably be limited to a 700C x 28 tire. Not sure how adjusting cantis for 700C on a frame made for 27" would work.

I think it looks fine but am a bit surprised that you had to change to the Race Blades. I would have thought a touring frame would have enough clearance for any 27" tire and full fenders.

Do you have the fork and/or DT shifter bosses?

I don't have a 3.0 that large but do have a 25" mid 80s T400 and a 63 cm CAAD7. I'm about 185 miles from Milwaukee. Might go to the swap meet in Madison if Covid is under control in January.

Universal has all three sizes in stock. Don't know about shipping to Germany. https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=22995&category=1745

You need to look at the ETRTO rim size when you look at tires. Depending on where you buy them, 700C tires may be called 700C, 28", or 29". 27" tires are normally called that, even though they are actually larger diameter than 700C. The 700C rim is 622, and the 27" size is 630, so look for...

Yellow bag looks to be under seat mount. Is the black one a seat bag as well? Appears to need a mounting bracket. Do you have it?

In my area I wouldn't expect to get more than $300 for the pictured H300 bike, and you might have to wait months for the right buyer. A 1995 M900 was about $1000 new, but I wouldn't expect to get more than $600 for one in NOS condition now.

If you're definitely going to repaint it, you might try sanding through the blue and see if another color shows underneath. Perhaps it was a replacement frame and that's why it doesn't have a model decal. I would start at your local automotive paint dealer and see what they can come up with.

Thanks for the information. I hope that we hear from people who have experience with the tools and the service.

Looks to be a 1996 frame. Does it have a model number? The only blue 2.8 I see in the 1996 catalog is the R2000 (Matte Panama Blue). R600 and up had the carbon fork in 1996.

The 2.8 was the top of the line road frame from 1992-1996. I don't think the geometry changed much but there were several different forks used. AL forks were used on the early bikes, but carbon was used on the later upper end models. There are geometry charts in each of the catalogs...
