    7 Speed hub to 8-11 speed conversion

    I think the only 9 speed Shimano DT shifters were DuraAce. You might check into Microshift. I've seen their bar end shifters on some pretty nice new bikes. I'm not sure that they made 9 speed DT shifters but suspect they did.

    7 Speed hub to 8-11 speed conversion

    Sounds like you have it under control. I have a bunch of Shimano MTB hubs here but have always found it hard to swap parts when I've needed to. For example, cone diameters can vary by tenths of a mm even though the hubs have the same diameter axle. Glad you found what you needed.

    Help identifying two Cannondales

    List of components would be helpful. The F29 looks like it might be a 2015 F29 Carbon 4, just judging by the paint. I think that the CAAD10 may be a 2013 CAAD10 5. It came with Shimano 105 (5700) 10 speed shifters and derailleurs, Shimano RS-10 wheels, and Tektro R580 brake calipers.

    An Assistance request for help in identifying model number for 1995 (Euro?) Cannondale Racing Bicycle and locating associated Cannondale Catalog.

    I think that it would be more collectible if it had the blue and white paint of the original SR900 even though the green looks great. The bike still has practical value with a very reliable and somewhat collectible set of components. The original 1990 bottom bracket would have been a 68 x 111...

    7 Speed hub to 8-11 speed conversion

    Is that freehub body narrower than 8-10?. I would have guessed that by 1997 it was the same and just used a spacer behind the cassette for 7 speed. Sounds like you may be building a new wheel. Might be simpler to locate an 8/9 hub of the desired width.

    If all the decals are under the clear coat it could well have been a team bike. Cannondale supported a lot of regional teams through the years. I have frames from Team Riley and Helen's Cycles that appear to have been factory painted with colors that don't appear in the catalog.

    An Old overBEARING ? 1987 ST400

    I think those are typical 1980s loose ball bearing hubs. "Sealed Mechanism" doesn't mean sealed "cartridge" bearings. I would keep the drivetrain as is. Frame will be 126 spaced, so trying to switch to 8 speed or more will involve frame tweaking which is difficult given Cannondale's super...

    What year can i find my bike in the company's catalogue?

    I think that is a 1998 R500, same frame Cipollini won multiple grand tour stages on. It will be a bit heavier than current bikes but it should be capable of being reasonably competitive. I couldn't identify all the components from the photos, so hard to estimate value.

    The frame could be from 1995 or 1996 model year given the August 1995 date code. My guess is 1995 as it looks like it could be the Iceland Green paint that was on the R300 that year. Looks to have the aluminum fork that the lower to mid range road bikes came with in those years. The components...

    Delta V 600 to Über Delta V!

    The color makes me think of much more recent Cannondales, was that the idea? If I could get you to take on my projects they might get finished.

    Delta V 600 to Über Delta V!

    Looks like fun to me. What color did you decide on?

    New Super V project

    I don't believe that Cannondale ever did give the Super V frame a CAAD number.

    fresh donation at the local coop. 1988 Cannondale mtb. Blue with Yellow accents.

    I like the yellow better. That said, on a bike that original I would probably look for some skinwalls. Don't know what's available these days.

    Delta V 600 to Über Delta V!

    Looking good. Who makes the disc mount?

    Bluemels on a '99 H500 hybrid bike

    For the rear you might fabricate a sheet metal bracket from the original mount (or mounting hole) to the rack mount boss on the frame. Was there originally a similar bracket on the front fender?

    1988 SR500 missing serial number- catalog demo?

    I checked my 1988 SR800 and the serial number is on the underside of the drive side seat stay. My three 1987 SR models all have the serial on the underside of the left chain stay. I can't answer your question with any certainty but if there is no serial number your premise makes as much...

    F4 MTB Drive Train Recommendations

    Looks like the rear section of housing could be shortened by 2 or 3 inches, but I have no experience with SRAM post 10 speed. Sounds like it will be good once the final adjustments are made and the bike looks great. Glad Johnny was around to make recommendations on this newfangled stuff.

    I’m in need of Super V decals for Resteration

    I haven't looked for those specifically but you might check at velocals.

    Ebay: Super V 900

    I'm guessing 1997 from the color. Tempting as it doesn't seem outrageously priced.
