    Ride Quality 23" 1988 Cannondale ST700

    Glad to know there's another quality 27" tire option. Hope they fit. Agree about the 600 parts. I have them on a couple of bikes and always thought they looked nicer than the tricolor stuff that came after them.

    what is this

    I think that's a 2000 M400 that someone switched to a suspension fork. Catalog says team yellow/charger orange fade was the optional color. Also used on the F400 and shown on the F400 catalog page.

    Howdy from Arizona!

    Welcome. I'll be interested to see the ST as those are one of my favorites.

    Returning to the fold in England

    I agree about the MT tandems and touring, they have lower gears and fit bigger tires so are a perfect choice. What size tyres on your Warrior? They mostly seem to have been shipped with 25s, but I've always wondered if they wouldn't fit 30 or 32. Here's what I'd ultimately like to find but...

    Returning to the fold in England

    Nice to have another member from the UK. The Contro doesn't look much like a traditional Cannondale, but it will surely serve her well. I've searched many times for a Warrior, have never seen one for sale in the USA. Is your Los Dos rigid or does it have a suspension fork?

    1988 Team MTB?

    Great stuff. Too bad SRAM killed the company.

    I though something like this might exist but didn't know where to look. Nice to see them.

    1988 Team MTB?

    I have several bikes built with Sachs, mainly road as the long cage RD and triple cranks are kind of hard to find. I think the levers with the black shift paddles are 7000 models, one step below New Success. I have a pair with red painted brake levers. I took a quick look but couldn't find...

    There is lots of good stuff there. Hope to see more. How many pages are there?

    Another frame ID please

    I would welcome 35, not so sure about 44. I wouldn't have expected that kind of extreme temp near the coast. Doesn't look to be anywhere near that warm currently. Still doubt you would trade for weeks of subfreezing. It's hard to ride on ice, which we've had a pretty good coating of for two...

    Delta V 2000 shock adjuster tool

    Coil-over nuts are usually a pretty loose fit. On the race cars we used to tack a small screw to the bottom of the spring so that we could reach inside the tub and quickly adjust the nut by turning the spring. Never had one that I had to use a wrench on as far as I can remember.

    Delta V 2000 shock adjuster tool

    I would doubt that it's cross threaded as the nut is threaded on quite a way and the threads don't appear to be damaged. Probably got some grit down in the clearance between the nut and the shock and galled as a result. The shock thread could also have been damaged by an impact of some sort.

    weird serial number

    I'll bet you are right. I forgot about the alternate sequence with the dropout spacing code. The first 6 = 126 spacing. As an aside, 66 was offered stock but only as a frameset.

    Help with newer serial number

    You should be able to figure out the model by comparing the bike to the catalogs. Here's the 2015: https://issuu.com/cannondale_usa/docs/15_c_bike_catalog_us_final_issuu?e=9912505/8937095 Synapse could be carbon or AL framed, disc or rim brake, and the model is generally named after the main...

    Cold in the UK also? It's supposed to get down to -4 F/-20 C here tonight. High tomorrow only 14 F/-10 C. Normal high is 43/6 - we've been running well below normal most of the year so far.

    weird serial number

    Unless it's a very large frame (they made a 66 cm back then), I'm guessing your first digit is a 5. Any chance you transposed an 8 and a 0? 66080890012 or 56080890012 would make more sense. That would translate to the 12th frame made on August 8, 1990. It's conceivable that someone at the...

    Help with newer serial number

    What information are you interested in? I think Cannondale must have changed to a new system from the one used starting in 2000. Newest frame I have is a 2011 CX. It's bar code tag begins with VM, which I believe translates to 2010, December. There haven't been enough years passed to cycle...

    Delta V 2000 shock adjuster tool

    I should have guessed that the seller wouldn't want to ship to Europe. I'd be happy to ship it to you if you want it quicker. I can check rates if you want to check cost.

    my Super V magazine article

    That's a great concept for a travel bike. Never owned one so had no idea that it could be made compact so easily. Still have the New Success bits? One of my favorite road groups, probably have 6 or so bikes built with it.
