Thanks. Probably a 25" SH would be ideal. Might consider a 23" or a 22" H.

It's one of the 700C forks with 25 mm travel. The Silk Path hybrids also have 25 mm travel. I have four Silk Road frames here which all have only 15 mm travel I think. I didn't go back and check but I think the Polish seller had 3 different tools at one point. The tool I got was right...

I think the fork I am working on would have originally had an elastomer. Wondering if this was a mod/upgrade. There isn't a whole lot of resistance when moving it in either direction. I found a cut O ring inside the steerer tube after removal. Guessing about 3/16" in section and 7/8" in...

So I got the tool from Poland but it is too tall to fit in the gap on the fork I am working on. So I decided to make my own tool. Started with a rusty 7/8" Armstrong 3/8" drive socket. First step was to cut it to approximate height with a hacksaw. Then stuck it in the lathe and faced it down...

I don't know what happened to my original reply. The early Cannondales did have a steeper than usual seat tube angle in the smaller sizes. I don't know what the theory was for that. 58 cm and larger frames were more in line with the geometry of other manufacturers. What size is your frame?

I have cousins in Columbia that I haven't seen in a while.....

I hope they have what you need.

Yes mid to late 80s ST and just my size. Where is it?

I knew they made them but have never seen one. I have a neighbor who rides a recumbent but I don't know what brand it is.

I've been looking for an H or SH in my size for a long time with the intention of making it into a drop bar gravel bike. They don't show up as often as I expect. Seems like hybrids should have been top sellers.

I don't remember the production date of the frame I started to strip but I would guess circa 1989. I guess I should be careful about sanding the primer. Thanks for the heads up.

Some frames had zinc chromate primer. I think I've seen it on a MTB frame circa 1990 that I started to strip. The top coats come off with stripper but the primer is tough.

Wondering how close a match can be found without spending lots of cash.

I've got lots of projects right now but might be interested in it.

I did measure my handlebar and it measures approximately 42 cm outside to outside. It's a model 185 and is stamped 400, which is the approximate center to center dimension. The other model I have seen is the 55. I don't know how it differed. There's an ebay seller that has NOS 40 cm...

I would probably clean and repack the bearing with the retainer in place. I'd think the spindle is more likely to wear than the cups. Never serviced a BB with the retainer but doubt that it's needed if you destroy it getting it out.

Did you have one of the originals? 9.5 mm sounds right for a 3/8" bolt. There are only two common thread pitches: UNF (24 threads per inch) and UNC (16 TPI). You should be able to look at them and tell the difference. I'd be happy to source them and ship to you but as I recall USPS has a...

Every bar maker seems to measure differently, Nitto must measure center to outside. I will have to look and see if mine is marked 400 mm or if I measured it as so.

I think black seatpost and stem would look fine. You have the black fork boot and spring already.

I'm guessing you are right. I know that in the early years Cannondale used 5/16" - 18 threads on the cantilever studs. Were the M10 bolts too large in diameter? Guessing that the size is 3/8" - 16. You should be able to find them in the UK if that helps with shipping cost.
