The 2 bikes are nearly identical but have different serial number schemes. 20020989070 20 inch frame 02/09/1989 (February 9 1989) #070 that day 518108800313 5 = 135mm rear spacing 18 inch frame 1088 production ( October 1988) number 0313 How secure is a lock when the number tag is still...

Just picked this pair of Cannondales up tonight. I'll get the serial numbers tomorrow during daylight hours. "his and hers" set. Early mountain bikes in black. Been sitting for decades.

USA made Cannondales are aluminum. That's what made them famous. Not the first company to use aluminum but the first to go big. They used modern large scale manufacturing techniques like laser mitering. Frames were welded, then bolted to jigs for heat treatment to relieve the stresses in the...

Accident damage. Have the frame checked for alignment before replacing parts. Aluminum isn't something you can straighten out. A bent aluminum frame would total the bike. Damage to a head shock fork is a total as well. Next look up the catalog for that model year to get the oem specs. None...

updates After the around the block test ride where things seemed okay, I relocated the bike from my van (hot interior) to the cool basement. The next day I headed out for a long ride but the crank was klunking so I only got to the corner and returned. After a long battle, I got the crank out...

Fresh donation at the local bike coop. 1991 Cannondale SM400. Black with faded hot pink decals. More pink than my camera recorded. In fair condition. We started working on it today. Replaced the rusty bars and way too long stem. Replaced the faded out Diacompe XCM brake levers with some...

I took it for a short spin around the block with 2 hills to check for creaking. None noticed with running shoes on. But the shifters got stuck in the big ring - big cog gear. So a cleaning and lube and they work like new again. Rerouted the cables so they don't rub on the side of the head...

Thanks about that bar code sticker. I just looked the bike over again and found no number or other stickers. I did find a date code on the front Ultegra derailleur. DG 2005 July. The bike has Ultegra: f der, brake caliper and sti shifters and a Dura Ace r der. The sticker (photo in the op)...

got this today and wondering what year it is. Cannondale Synapse serial number? Didn't find one on the frame but it has a sticker on the bb shell. hardly what I'd call a serial number. Durace rear der (replaced the ultegra?) Ultegra front der and Ultegra flight deck shifters. Cannondale...

Fresh find that I want to pass on. repaint with some yellow safety paint. The serial is hard to read. looks like 60080888107 60 cm, august 8 1988 sequence 107. I sanded some of the paint off but that didn't make it any more readable. repainted and reassembled by a newb. Missing seat, seat...

Okay, It depends on the operating system.

How about adding an avatar to the Cannondale forums too? Here is a shot of my forums folder bookmarks. Some nice looking icons in there but some are just the generic browser icon.

It needs tires. Humm..

"With Short Wheelbase"? they call 43.1" short? I may try to reglue the seat covering back on.

As a pop quiz, I'm testing my lessons here on decoding the serial number 20041288094 20 inch frame (inches means mtb frame) 04 April 12 12th 88 1988 094 number made that day Needs tires and lock removed. Bar ends are rusty steel from some bso. edit: SM500 in blueberry. And I got the...

Those are some really unique levers. I've been in bikes my whole life and I can say I've never seen them before. Many aluminum levers are anodized or polished. My local coop has a guy who polishes steel and aluminum to a mirror finish that usually looks great. is that a knob on the front of...

I have repainted or touched up dozens of bikes ( and my car hood). Color matters a lot and black is without a doubt the easiest color to work with. I've touched up several black bikes. I typically use Rustolem enamel in the 1/2 pint cans and a brush and 800 grit wet with a block for touch...

question on the serial. metric or english? This sites page on serial numbers uses frame sizes in cm. this one looks like it's in inches. 21102987137 21 inch? October 29 1987 date? #137. ST400 model?
