    R400

    Looks like a pretty nice bike. Is the rim bent or just out of true because of the broken spoke? Is there a bulge in the rim at the spoke with the tape?

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    The CAAD5 and CAAD6 road frames are identical except for the BB30 bottom bracket on the CAAD6. CAAD7, 8, and 9 could all be had with threaded BB shells. I have two CAAD7s that are threaded and have 3 CAAD9s which all have threaded BBs. My main consideration when looking at anything from a...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    The photo of the canopy of trees over the super smooth looking pavement has great appeal to me. We don't lack for low traffic roads where I live but smooth pavement, shade and shelter from the wind can be hard to come by.

    If it's not too much trouble to bring the parts along tomorrow, I'll try to get back with you before you leave QC area.

    Next step is to find something in the same area that she and/or the kids are interested in visiting. I love random road trips even when they don't have a specific destination but I guess for others driving around is pure boredom. I can recall driving around small towns in northeast Iowa 35...

    Se2000 and Se1000

    I am envious of just the pristine XT and Ritchey parts. Great to see that you apparently value a wide range of models and sizes.

    Cannondale suspension seatpost servicing?

    I have not seen one of those posts so can't help but the strips of roller bearings do sound similar to a Headshok. Bikewagon has had lots of Cannondale parts listed on eBay including Headshok bearings.

    SOLD 1991 SM500 22 inch frame, poor paint.

    Can you drop it at your friend's shop? I'm too busy on the farm this time of year, but my friend in Coal Valley could pick it up some time.

    Iceland green M500

    I'd love to have it to go with my 1995 M900. I'd surely give $300 for it if it was nearby and my size.

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    I have a family cemetery here on my farm. Most of the graves are children from the mid to late 1800s. Age range from infant to early teens. I'm guessing cholera or scarlet fever but haven't researched what was common cause of death at the time.

    Wanted Hooligan Commuter Bike

    In the eastern half of the country I see one in Scarsdale NY and one in Austin TX. Didn't check ebay. https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/bik/d/scarsdale-cannondale-hooligan/7658953369.html

    Not 100% certain of the year.

    Looks like a '93 or '94 bike to me but colors don't look right for '94 and the catalog doesn't show an M400 or a 3.8 in '93. So 1994 would be my guess.

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Wouldn't want your 3 ton wagon to run over your team of oxen or mules on a downhill, but it probably happened. Did the brakes contact the rim on the side or the outside diameter? Wagon just looked so isolated, made me think of possible vandalism. 10% death rate is more than I would have...

    SOLD Cannondale unknown model parts for sale.

    I don't own a MTB that old but I checked two 1987 road bikes. They both have the serial number on the underside of the non drive side chain stay.

    Thanks for finding him. Hoping he has time to participate here.

    SOLD Cannondale unknown model parts for sale.

    The road frames in that era had holes in the chainstays that were plugged with a pop rivet before painting, not sure about the MTBs. I'm guessing those were the vent holes for gas to escape during welding but they wouldn't have been water tight with a pop rivet. My guess is that this frame...
