Pictures of the bike would be helpful. My 1995 catalog shows only two C series hybrids, and they are both Headshok models. Does the fork have a threaded steerer? If so, you can loosen the top nut and measure the outside diameter of the steerer tube. Cannondale used 1", 1 1/8", and 1 1/4"...

I don't think it would affect the value much either way. I think I would call it a '96 if I was to say it's an M900 just because of the color. But you don't really have to pin a model number on it since it doesn't match spec anyway. The most accurate description would be to find the date...

Was it the 30th anniversary of the company or of bike production? I assume of the company. I wish I had more pricing information on the common models. For a few years in the 90s Bicycling magazine published an issue that listed specs and pricing for most of the bikes sold in the USA. I have...

That looks similar to the Alico made stems, very common on mid 1990s road models. In the 1996 catalog they have the titanium look finish on the R700-R2000, and are painted black on lower models. Looking at the spec pages, the titanium finished stems are listed as Alico while the black ones are...

Thanks for posting more pages. Sticky is a good idea. I'll leave that decision to Brian.

You may be able to find the two letter production date code under the cable guide. I can't see it in the photo. The bikes in the 1997 catalog don't appear to have the "handmade in USA" decal just behind the stem on the top tube. If the decals are original, that would suggest that it's a 1998...

What rear derailleur are you using with the Campagnolo shifters? 8 or 9 speed?

Must have been a replacement frame or was meant to be sold as a frameset. Did it come with a fork?

Here's what I would recommend for a hub. There may be a cheaper place to buy it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHIMANO-XT-M756A-10-SPEED-32H-QUICK-RELEASE-6-BOLT-DISC-BLACK-REAR-HUB/193648003889?epid=2255330103&hash=item2d16520b31:g:HF4AAOSwImRYI73Q

Some good information here: https://wheelbuilder.com/blog/thru-axles-demystified-/

I wouldn't think it should be too hard to find a disc hub for your bike. For example I have a SRAM X9 6 bolt disc hub here that's 135 mm and has the 8/9/10 freehub. You can put a 9 speed cassette on a Shimano 11 hub, just requires a thin spacer. I know that 6800 road hubs came with the...

If it came with the 6500 group it would most likely be a 1998 or 1999 R1000. The crank is a later substitution. Ultegra was still 8 speed in 1997. I don't recognize the paint scheme. Are the decals on top of the paint or clear coated?

There may be a two letter code bottom right under the cable guide. All my frames are either older or newer than 2000-2001, so I can't say for sure where the code is.

Welcome. I started out with a Cannondale MTB too but since good roads are a lot more plentiful than trails in my area, I have spent more time on road bikes. It's always nice to have a back-up no matter what type.

I did some looking at aluminum Bassos but couldn't find one that looked like the pictured bike.

Looks to be a bit of a mystery. Color and build look to be right for a 2001 R500, but the decals are different and it doesn't appear that your frame has the two letter code for year and month where it should be on that era frame. I can't read everything in the serial number picture. Is there...

The 16" frames are the only ones I have seen with 24" wheels at both ends. You might message Brian, he has a lot of knowledge on the early MTBs.

The 16" 1987 frames came with 24" wheels front and rear.

I don't believe that's a Cannondale. Look at the chainstays and dropouts and compare them to 1980s Cannondales. From 1989 to 1996, Cannondale road frames had cantilever dropouts. After 1996, only the CAAD2,3 and 4 road frames came with threaded forks. Those frames had a replaceable...

Small spec changes even in USA market bikes were pretty common. They may have been due to short supply of some part, or because a comparable component became available at a better price. If the substitutions on your bike were for example XTR level, I would assume that they were not original to...
