Tough one. I think most of the 80s bags had round reflectors. The triangular logo was used at least through 1994. By 1998 they had the C logo as on the head tubes of frames. Guessing yours are mid to late 1990s.
I did find some bags in the 1989 catalog that have the rectangular logo like yours, so perhaps they are older than I thought. They weren't offered in black in 1989 though. I can't see the round reflector on them.
I've been looking for an SH. Think they would make a great all surfaces road bike with drop bars. Don't see many of them around.
Wow, that looks to be in great shape! About my size as well. Brian has reproduced the top tube cable guides if you are looking to replace the missing ones.

It is in a good shape I would say. Cable guides are complete but two of them are loose. Maybe I get new ones, but will try to fix it first.
Temporarily the bike is in the workshop for a full inspection (brake pads are rock hard, bearings need grease etc.) Got the bike from the son of the original owner two weeks ago

The plastic pins that expand the part that fits inside the top tube may have vibrated out. You might try a substitute of some suitable plastic, welding rod, perhaps even a round wooden toothpick.

Classic. I really love the look of the Cannondale name on the top tube, instead of the usual place on the downtube on these early bikes.

What are these cable guides made from? I assumed they were machined aluminum.

Bad day for Vettel.
