    1997 Cannondale Promo Frame-aka Half Cut/Cutaway

    Nice find. I have seen one or two on eBay, but it's been a while and I don't recall what year they might have been. Interesting that the chainstay bridge appears to be solid. I would have expected a tube.

    Vintage Team Cannondale Racing Pics

    Nice. Same photo as the 1995 catalog cover I think.

    1988 st400

    Seems to me a tire in the 32-35 mm range will fit. I will try to remember to check what's on my ST500.

    New Life for my Delta V

    Thanks for posting the documents. We don't have much original pricing information. Nice to see what my SR800 sold for. The dealer didn't cut you much slack on pricing the DV, charging retail + shipping and assembly, but at least you didn't have to pay sales tax. Oregon purchase?

    Is this Cannondale CAAD5 Si worth $250?

    That's a 2002 R700 Si Triple, definitely worth $250 in decent condition. Looks like it would clean up nicely. Have a good look at the frame for dents, corrosion, and cracks. Components look to be all original. Cannondale often would spec a mixed parts group, typically with a higher level...

    1988 st400

    Those make nice gravel bikes even though limited to caliper brakes.

    New Life for my Delta V

    I'm looking forward to seeing it. What size is the Delta V? I think it's a 1992 DV2000.

    New Life for my Delta V

    BL was SR800 in 1987, but it got demoted down the lineup in subsequent years. 1987 and 1988 are the best years as they had SunTour Sprint components (2nd in the line at the time to Superbe Pro), while later BLs had lower level components. 1988 BLs were designated SR700 but the components were...

    SOLD-1998 Cannondale XS800

    Thanks for posting the nice photos. An XS has been on my wish list for a long time but I need at least a 58.

    there is a 93 cannondale m300 aluminum frame getting scraped. worth saving?

    Yes, worth saving. Cannondale frames typically span several models so a decent looking frame is always worth preserving.

    Sr500/600 1985

    Lots of 1987-1988 Cannondale road bikes came with T-430s, but they are getting hard to find now. They measure 20 mm wide and about 13.5 mm deep. They were replaced by the similar GTX in 1989. Cannondale gradually phased out the use of Wolber rims on the road bikes in favor of Mavic and Sun...

    Sr500/600 1985

    Rims look great. It's hard to find specific year data on Wolber, but I know that they had changed the Alpine to the Alpine T-430 (yellow lettering) by 1987.

    Sr500/600 1985

    I suppose it's possible that some were imported early on. Cannondale had been making accessories for some years and may have already had European dealers when they started making frames. 600EX is nice stuff. I have a storage bin full of it if you need anything. It's not clear whether you are...

    Sr500/600 1985

    I don't mind the dealer decal just because it adds to the history of the bike. Would have been better placed on the down tube near the bottom bracket though. Looks like you have a Shimano and SunTour mix right now. I didn't look the bike up in the catalogs. What did it come with and what...

    Killer V frame - cantilever brake cable mount

    Best to post a pic of the whole series.

    Killer V frame - cantilever brake cable mount

    The 1995 rigid frames including the KVs had the Force 40 pivot that Meenie posted. 1996 frames used cantis and the seatpost clamp mounted guide. Brakes were typically Alivio or Coda. If your frame was made in 1995 it was most likely a 1996 model. Nashbar used to sell a simple guide that...

    jekyll but the year...?

    The first part looks like a standard socket head cap screw but it probably has some associated bushings. I've never owned a full suspension Cannondale so am not much help here. KK = November, 1999. Perhaps a pre-production frame built up for someone to test??

    jekyll but the year...?

    That's a very early date code for a Jekyll. First model year for them was 2001. The 2001 US catalog shows the Jekyll 2000 with similar black/orange/yellow fade and the component spec looks similar. I'm not sure of the correct term for the parts you need: axles or shock pivots, or ?. I...
