    New to the brand!

    Welcome. I can't tell much about the bike from the angle but looks to be mid to late 1990s.

    Hello Americans!

    Welcome. Don't overlook the SR600. It had the same frame and fork as the higher end models and the 600EX stuff is really pretty nice.

    1990 ST600 fork questions.

    Just by the catalog pictures, it appears that 1992 was the first year for the unicrown fork. But it's not unusual to see Cannondales that differ from catalog spec. I'd guess Tange was making the unicrown forks in 1990 and they may have been substituted because of a supply issue with the lugged...

    Every catalog opens except 1988

    Here are some screenshots. Hope they are detailed enough.

    Values of 96 F3000 and CAD3 build

    Both look to be in great shape. Here's a nice CAAD3 F2000 with XTR for $525...

    2006 CAAD7??

    It might have been a replacement frame or sold as a frameset rather than a complete bike. Assuming the frame is all aluminum (Is it?), I'm guessing that it's a CAAD8. See the dropout detail photo of the CAAD8 on the 2006 R800 page. I'm pretty sure that dropout is specific to the CAAD8. The...

    Newbie!

    Salt can really accelerate aluminum corrosion. A friend had an aluminum Specialized with severe corrosion under the front derailleur clamp. I hope your frame isn't too badly corroded.

    Cannondale Synapse owner near Boston, MA

    Welcome. Nice looking Synapse. I'd like to try one at some point. I've yet to own a carbon Cannondale.

    To whom it may concern

    Interesting bike. Perhaps only sold in Europe with the Nexave parts. I don't know if Cannondale printed a separate catalog for Europe at the time. I've never seen an H/SH frame before that didn't have cantilever posts.

    To whom it may concern

    Surely M series (500, 700, 900) but it would be hard to pin a model number on it with the non catalog color and build. Could have been built up from a frameset. We often see frames lacking model numbers in colors that don't appear in the catalogs. I don't think it had anything to do with...

    For Trade 1991 cannondales

    I wish I could help but I think I only have one 1991, an orange on black SM800.

    SOLD 1988 Cannondale Bowling Green

    What's the story on the Bowling Green designation? Serial number should provide size and build date.

    Wanted Kore Elite Stem, Magic cranks

    The range would appear to be a 900M in 1996 to a Tarantula Competition in 1999. Is this for your F1000 or another bike?

    Wanted Wanted: Cannondale 285 quill stem with cable roller

    That stem was also used on the 1991 SM2000. Are you looking for one with the Cannondale branding, or something functionally equivalent? Nitto probably made the same stem for other bike brands. There is a similar steel stem shown in the 1991 catalog on the SM800 but it's black and lacks branding.

    Cannondale Quick

    I think it would make a nice gravel bike, not like I need another. I might be interested though. Top tubes seem really long on these frames. Normally I like the largest MTB/hybrid size but the 62 cm top tube on the Jumbo sounds like a stretch.

    Wanted Kore Elite Stem, Magic cranks

    Not that I have what you are looking for but are you looking for a Magic branded crank that was made before Cannondale branded them as Coda? I think the 1994 Cannondales were the first models to come with Coda cranks.

    CAAD3 MTB - size recommandation

    What is your saddle height on your road bike? I am about 6' tall but ride with an unusually high saddle position for my height. I have a 1999 F900 in XL size. Saddle top to center of bottom bracket spindle is about 82 cm. My guess is that a large is a good starting point for most 6 footers.

    Cannondale Quick

    The frame looks like a 2009 Quick 5 but the fork doesn't match the tig welded steel fork shown in the catalog. Fork looks like the 2010 Fatty. V on the bar code sticker translates to 2010 production. So it's perhaps a 2010 Quick that somehow got 2009 decals. What's the standover height?

    Refresh Delta V 2000

    1992 DV2000? Original Smoke front tire, I can't see the rear. Nice to see this early full suspension Cannondale MTB.
