I checked two of my Cannondale road bikes with AL forks. There are no visible seam lines at either the top or bottom of the fork legs. Guessing you may have a carbon fork, likely with an AL crown and steel steer tube.

Guessing it might be 18". Check the last two digits of the frame code, just in front of the left chain stay on the underside of the BB shell. Is it black with gold fleck in the top coat? I think it might be 1995 based on the model decal style. All the mountain bikes in the 1994 catalog have...

I think that the plastic washer would work fine when used with STI/Ergopower cable stops. For use with down tube shifters I think it would be a good idea to have the 3 mm indexing pin added. It could be added to the machined aluminum part by drilling and tapping a hole for a 3 mm screw. The...

I shouldn't ever trust my memory. I was thinking 1993 was the first year for Ritchey rims. Cannondale actually used them as far back as 1990. It's interesting that the higher end bikes in 1992 came with Sun rims, while the mid range had Ritcheys. Seems like Ritcheys would have been more...

I still ride Look Deltas on most of my road bikes. They can be purchased very reasonably and go for a lot of miles without service. Sounds like you need to back the release tension off, at least on one pedal. I find that if tension is too tight I can often get quicker release by twisting my...

I think the XTR crank is the logical choice. On 1992 and 1993 Cannondale MTBs, if the crank didn't match the group it was generally a Ritchey. I haven't owned either but suspect that the XTR is the nicer of the two. A SunTour XC Pro microdrive might offer a bit of weight savings (especially...

Good to see you are still with us Geoff. I haven't done the math but I suspect that the average age of my Cannondales is around 30 years. In a couple of years I will be able to ride one that's 40. Don't know if I will still be riding when it reaches 50 but it's nice to think I might.

Since the diameter of the down tubes taper it depends on where you measure. I removed the shifter mount assembly from a CAAD2 frame and the down tube measures 41 mm at the mounting hole. Other frames that I measured were in the 44-45 mm range (without removing the shifter mounts). Since...

Size? I would post the Legend Ti on the Paceline forum if you haven't already. New members must have 30 posts in other sub-forums before they can post in the classifieds. Formerly the Serotta forum and still a fair amount of interest in them there.

Was your M700 built late in the year? It could be that a Cannondale order to Sun just happened to coincide with a run of Ritchey rims being made. Certainly not unusual for Cannondale to change suppliers during a model year. I did find a NOS 32 hole Chinook. Right next to it was a Matrix...

I might have one NOS Chinook rim but it might be something other than 26". Some other singles - I'll have to check. I do have NOS pairs of Campagnolo Contax rims from that era. Also Specialized, but you wouldn't want them on a Cannondale. Have a used pair of M900 hubs that would make a...

If I had the Coda brakes on hand I would probably use them. What better place are you going to find for them? Is that a 1992 model? I was thinking 1991 for the Omega but I don't think there were Delta V frames that year.

Not a Hi-Mod or limited edition but I doubt this frame at less than 1/10th the price gives up anything you could notice while riding. I've purchased frames from Guy with no problems. https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=285627

The carbon forks would have had AL tips. Unfortunately I think all my mid 90s Cannondales have AL forks. Guessing that the carbon forks would have had a visible line between the tip and the leg. I think the AL forks were smooth, will try to remember to check.

If it's the same color, it was used for several years.

I remember when an 18 pound road bike was scary light. Not sure how light they have gotten but a friend has one that is under 14 lbs. Hard to believe 750g for a frameset. Look HSC rim brake forks were around 375g, the current Enve disc fork is 450g. I think that 750g weight must be for the...

I think the 1996 carbon forks were all black, not sure if they were clear coated carbon or painted. They may have painted framesets in random colors. When you bought it did you have to order it or did the local dealer have it in stock?

Lighter, simpler and probably more reliable than Rapidfire. They take a pretty good effort to make them move. I never had a problem with accidental shifts. I first used them on a road bike with an aero bar around 1993. The 1995 M900 came with SRT 800 X Ray GripShift, also have GripShift on...

In some years the smallest frame size was the Killer V style, while all the larger sizes were conventional frames. I'm not sure what year that frame is but it's newer than 1993 as it has a threadless fork. I think the color is more blue than the 1993 color. I think it might be a 1995 Killer...
