    Good for you. Sticking with the Campagnolo?

    Cannondale fan from Texas

    Super V or any other dual suspension frame has been on my want list for a while. Hard to justify for the amount of rough trail riding I do though.

    CANNONDALE Px3 Crankset

    I don't know a lot about them but I have a drive side arm here. I believe it's 94/58 BCD. It's square taper but they may have been made in Octalink or ISIS as well. Is the one you are looking at square taper? I don't have any loose rings that are the right bolt circle diameter, but I might...

    I thought that the M739 was below what they usually sell for, but was really looking for a black Coda crank for the project.

    Cannondale fan from Texas

    Welcome. Good to see that M700. I was spending a lot of time at the local dealers in the early 1990s and purchased a new SM800 in 1990 and a new M900 in 1995. Later purchased a 1992 Delta V900, a 1992 R1000, and a 1993 M800, all used. Sadly only one of the dealers still exists, but I have...

    What diameter steerer clamp

    The clamp diameter is 1 9/16" or 1.563". Search eBay for Headshok (or Lefty) stem. I just bought a used one with 25.4 clamp for $25 shipped. Be sure that you get your preferred bar clamp diameter as 26.0 and 31.8 stems exist.

    That looks really nice. I had a guy offer me an M739 XT crank for $70 + shipping when I was building my F900 last month. I passed on it as I was really looking for black. I'd guess the fork is going to be the hard part to find.

    1996 F500 Cannondale - near mint - value?

    BBB values are way too low. They buy bikes and resell them. For example, they have a nice 1998 Trek 5200 for sale, priced at $1200. If you check their "value" guide, they say $470 for private sale or $275 trade in. I would think that you could get $200 for your bare frame and fork if it's...

    1989 sr……??

    The monoplaner calipers are also sought after. There were several models. I couldn't tell what you have but they started out as Chorus, later versions were Veloce and Mirage. I don't remember if there was an Athena version.

    1989 sr……??

    It looks like you have the 8 speed shifters with the little cable adjuster. Those are quite nice and fairly desirable. The cheapest pair on eBay right now are $100.

    1989 sr……??

    I can't remember about 1989 but earlier Black Lightnings had a model name decal on the drive side chainstay. My guess is that it's a Euro model that we don't have a catalog description for, or a frameset. Since it has the AL fork, it would have been SR600 or above if it was sold as a complete...

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    The main change in geometry was the adoption of sloping top tubes on the later touring frames. While that may have stiffened the frames a bit, ride quality may not have changed much as the longer seat post required may have flexed enough to compensate. I've always felt that tire/wheel choices...

    Model question/ color

    Very tough to tell what you had at this point. I can't recall yellow on any USA model Cannondale before 1991 besides the Omega MTB. It seems that we get a lot of questions about bikes that were sold in Europe that don't match any known catalog description. I would suggest that you track...

    Tandem Front BB issue

    I haven't owned a tandem but might be able to look at a friend's. I would expect that the bottom bracket is a standard Shimano mounted in an eccentric. For example, in 1997 all the tandem models used Shimano BB-UN52 bottom brackets. It's likely that you just need a new BB. What year/model is...

    New/old Cannondale tourer

    I didn't think of it before, but I would be interested in the RX100 as partial trade.

    New/old Cannondale tourer

    Silver but not polished. All three rings are steel so it's not the lightest. $60 shipped in a flat rate Priority bubble envelope or $65 in a medium flat rate box with the FSA box.

    Install Downtube Shifter Boss w/o damaging paint

    I'm guessing the nut was stuck in the two piece end. I can see how that would confuse you if you'd never had one apart. The one piece end can get corroded from sweat and fail. I'd put a bit of grease on it and the threaded rod.
