The catalog shows 32 spokes front and rear for the F3000. My front hubs could well be 901s. I think that 1996 was the first year for Coda hubs so there may not be a lot of them out there. DT made hubs for other brands. I think early Rolf/Trek hubs were DT but they are low spoke count and...

I would keep the bike as is except for the rear wheel, the upgrades fit right in. I might change the pedals out for clipless just to avoid the straps rubbing on the crank arms. Those are probably the best platform pedals ever made. Nashbar had them on close out at some point for a ridiculously...

Very cool. Must have been pretty early in the Saeco era as it has Spinergy logo.

It's been a long time since I have been east of Ohio but always enjoyed PA and points east. I talked with a tourist from PA on my local trail and got the impression that PA is doing a much better job maintaining its trails than IL does.

Ebay is probably your best bet for finding the hub and rim. The classifieds at the Paceline forum are a good place to post WTBs, but you will have to have 30 posts before you can start a thread in the classifieds. I'm sure there are other good forums with classifieds. I don't remember the...

7700 was still the current group in 2003. ExcelSports sold a group with hubs, cassette, chain, and Ritchey headset for $989. The highest priced frameset in the catalog was a Look KG486 for $2695. It could be purchased as a complete bike with a DA group and 32 hole Mavic rims for $3589. So...

Curious about how the weight is measured. I assume that it's just the fork, but a Lefty hub and axle is surely going to add a bit more weight compared to a standard quick release hub.

Yes, would have been a CAAD7. Sounds like quite a lot of money for even a top of the line road bike at that time. I don't have the energy to dig through old catalogs tonight, but I have them that will tell what a Dura Ace group retailed for, alone and with various wheel options. Bump this...

Is the brick building a train station? What town? There are a lot of similar looking stations in my area but I can't think of one with brick walls. Beautiful part of the country. Hope to get back there some day.

4 lbs. isn't way out of line for a fork. Guessing a Lefty is somewhat lighter but I'd be surprised if it's a pound for the whole system. I wish the Serotta was handy so I could weigh it and see if my estimate is close. It's from the same era, 2001-2005 or so.

I don't recall seeing a CAAD designation on any other dual suspension frame up to that point I was pretty sure that Super Vs never had a CAAD decal. I don't have a 2001 print catalog and our scan of that one is very low quality. Perhaps all the 2001 DS bikes had a CAAD decal. I can't see any...

Repainted? I don't recall CAAD decals on the swingarms. No Lefty in 1999, but I guess it could have been added. The Hayes brakes were used in 1999 but not in 2000. I would have said a 2000 model for sure with a build date in November of 1999. 2001 Jekyll 2000 checks out except for the...

That isn't much to go on. Guessing 2000 model but I can't put Lefty with that color. Closest I can see is Super V700SX

I don't know the tires but generally tubeless means they don't need tubes. Tubeless tires will require that the rims are sealed and as far as I know, all tubeless tires require sealant. As I see it the main advantage of tubeless is the ability to run low tire pressure without the likelihood of...

We have a couple that are similar on our local trails, but nothing near that long or that high.

You can mount 29" tires to your wheels but they will rub on the brake calipers and fork for sure, and probably the chain stays as well. From you other posts I am guessing that you already own the bike. Give some 28 mm tires a try. Cheapest are probably Continental Ultra and Michelin...

That is a pretty impressive piece of infrastructure. Looks to be pretty high up. I'd like to see pictures from ground level. From what I read, the Salisbury viaduct is over twice as long.

Did he decide to hang onto it for now?

It would depend on your terrain and how rough the gravel is. Looks to be a CAAD8 or CAAD9 road frame. They will generally fit a maximum of 28 mm slick tires, which are OK for hard packed relatively smooth gravel trails. With a GS cage rear derailleur and a bigger cassette you could get the...

I have NOS 9 speed 105 short cage and Tiagra medium cage.
