About ten years ago I sold a nice DA 7400 STI group off a first year Trek OCLV 5500 for $250. Rebuilt it with functionally equivalent Ultegra but definitely wish I hadn't sold the DA.

Unseasonably cool here but still humid. I hoisted 50 hay bales into the loft yesterday and was pretty wet (and glad) when I finished. Started out by riding the bike to the shed with a gas can in hand, then had to go back home for an air hose (flat tire on the truck), and later for a jack (tire...

That looks to be a 2002 R3000 Si, which was the top CAAD5 model and second in the road bike line to the CAAD6 R4000 Si. 2002 was the first year for both CAAD5 and 6, and the only difference in the frames was that the CAAD6 had a BB30 bottom bracket and the CAAD5 was threaded. CAAD5 frames are...

I have several Dave Kirk built steel Serottas, and the dual suspension titanium road and mountain bikes that he helped design but probably didn't weld. Also have one of his Terraplane road bikes with the super curvy seat stays. His workmanship is superb and he is great to deal with. Sent him...

Here you go, 2000 Super V700. No idea why the disc version was not top of the line as I would have expected. http://web.archive.org/web/20061015232916/http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/ce/model-0VA7.html Paint is called Banner Green Fade. I have never seen it before.

Here is a link to what is supposed to be the top of the line Euro spec 2000 SuperV, a SuperV 1000 SL. http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/ce/model-0VA1S.html Shows as a V brake bike with LX/XTR mix with HeadShok Fatty Ultra DL fork. My guess is that your bike was built up from a frameset...

I could buy a new bike but don't have much desire to, mainly because there is always cool used stuff available. If I did it would be a custom frameset. A stainless steel frame from David Kirk, a Crumpton, a steel Weigle or Kvale.

Nice story. The frame looks to be in great shape. I bought my first Cannondale back also, but it returned in poor condition compared to when I sold it. Interesting to hear that your frame had no model number when purchased as a frameset. Will help to explain when folks inquire about bikes...

There is an M500 about that size for sale in Chicago but it's a 1997 model. I will try to remember to keep an eye out, have contacts in Des Moines, Minneapolis and Madison that could help facilitate.

Still surprised at the weight but there are a lot of dense welds on that frame, and steel fasteners at all the pivot points. It looks great. I'd love to try one out some time.

Looks to have 8 speed 105 STI group, cheap at $185. https://madison.craigslist.org/bik/d/madison-classic-cannondale-team-comp/7499742255.html

Doesn't look pristine but not bad. A lot of bike for $200. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/bik/d/saint-louis-cannondale-caad-r-800/7493196082.html

Another nice ST400. See my comments in my last post. This one looks to have the catalog spec Alpha 3000 drivetrain but it's only $200. https://ames.craigslist.org/bik/d/ames-cannondale-st400/7509599684.html

Perhaps a bit overpriced at $375, but it looks to be in really nice shape. Touring bikes seem to get knocked around quite a bit. Looks to have better drive train than what the catalog says, XCM rear derailleur is pretty nice stuff. These make nice all surface or commuting bikes. I've owned...

May have been an isolated problem. Lots of different models and price range over the years.

I hope that you have better luck than I have had replacing my 1989 SM800, which was stolen in 1995. I have never seen another one for sale. Might be helpful to give a general location.

I might have a NOS X317 rim in the attic stash. If I do it will be 32 hole.

Did the Ti eggbeaters just have a Ti spindle or were the springs Ti as well? I have seen broken springs on eggbeaters, which seem to be their weak point.

I've never heard of Point One. I've got several pairs of various Crank Bros. pedals but have never taken the time to change cleats for them on a pair of shoes. Pretty much sticking to Look Delta for road and SPD for MTB, just because both are easy to locate in quantity for little cost.

The embroidery looks very nicely done and thick enough to make that a winter hat.
