This frame appeared in the 1991 SM1000 thread and it seems appropriate to share it with this group.
It was purchased in Bowling Green, Ohio off of FB marketplace. The previous owner intended to build it for himself but it was too small for him. I picked it up because I love vintage Cannondales and I love blue. According to size charts it should be my size and after riding the 18" SM1000 I tend to agree. Also, it seems there was a significant Cannondale dealer in Findlay/Bowling Green but I don't know if it came from there or not.
It still fascinates me due to the lack of model number. Some suggest it was a warranty frame and others suggest it was custom ordered. All I know is I picked up an amazing blue NOS Mxxx frame.
Serial info shows production March 1994 and frame code is 3L5W16.
I’m confident the 16 is the size but not sure about the rest.
