    SOLD Cannondale unknown model parts for sale.

    Hubs are Specialized bolt on. The rear sounds kinda rumbly. Rims are Araya RM17 black. Light wheels overall. Suntour freewheel. I'll be going to the quad cities some time this week so I can drop off the parts at Wright Cycles as before. Rick

    early mtb. No serial?

    After browsing the 85, 86,87,88 & 89 catalogs I think its a 1987 SM500 with a number of component changes. Some parts match up and it's the only yellow mtb in those years. I did more sanding and found more yellow throughout. No sign of any decals or a serial number. And the stem was blue...

    early mtb. No serial?

    The original color might be yellow. I don't see any yellow mtbs in the 1986 catalog but they do appear in the 1987 as "Yellow Squash". Date codes on parts: Shimano FC-MT60 Deore crank ML 1988-December Suntour front derailleur DC 1987-March Suntour LX? 3000 rear der, too rusty to read the...

    early mtb. No serial?

    Well, here is another idea. According to the serial number page here, the first 3 years prefixes are AA = 1983 BB = 1984 CC = 1985 so maybe DD= 1986, or early 1986 anyhow before they changed to the next number system. IMO, most of the components look stock so I'll look for date codes on those.

    early mtb. No serial?

    I sanded off enough of the camo spray and I don't see any trace of a serial number on the stays. Nothing on the bb. Just a DD on the left rear dropout. 3 of the stays are split from water freezing in side so the frame will get recycled. could be mostly original parts. Better quality bolt on...

    L.L. Bean?

    I had a LL Bean bike with a steel frame. Not a Cannondale make. Many non-bike companies get bikes based solely on price. So many beer, wine, soda and bottled bikes that are mostly junk. A decent quality promotional or branded bike is the exception. It's unlikely LL Been spec'd certain parts...

    Is this a nice f300 and what year do you think?

    The 97 catalog specs reads Rock Shox Quadra 5 black fork. I can't make out the decal well enough to tell what the fork is but is sure doesn't look like a Rock Shox. I see there are some spacers under the frame, perhaps to change head angle or overall height or they just didn't know how to...

    Limited Edition Cannondale

    Quite exotic. I went to England about 15 years ago and the Cannondale's for sale at Herods were about 3x the USA price, along with all the other bikes in London. But still... Too big for me.

    I sold this bike this winter. The buyer had it powder coated in a 2 tone green metal fade. Stopped by to day to show it off. Looks very nice in person. New wheels. STI levers.

    Cannondale Quick

    XL frame decal. So here is the 2009 catalog geometry chart. With a sloping top tube I suppose you measure the standover mid-top tube. The bike is in storage for the time being. I'll try to get some closeups of the fork and measure it next time. Broken spoke in the rear wheel and the rim is...

    Cannondale Vintage F900 1997

    For the short term, mountain bike bar ends can be installed on mountain bike bar ends. There are a variety of shapes from straight to curved. Most are the same size as handlebars so they can be 'stacked' to get you more upright. The possible positions are nearly endless. The main down side is...

    fresh find: 2 early mtbs Cannondale SM800

    1989 SM800 based on the components. There is no model number on them. The bikes look to be moslty stock. One top tube clip missing, a big scratch right there from the brake lever getting dragged across. Both need a good cleaning and some touch up on the paint. The sludge on the bb area is...
