Help identifying Cannondale model

I was recently given this touring bike and am looking for more information on it. I can't find indication of the model on the bike, aside from a "Sports Series" decal. The serial number is 23091587143, so I imagine it's an 1987 model. It's made in USA. It has Superbe brakes, Suntour Cyclone M-II derailleur, sakae handlebars. The odd thing to me is that it has bar end shifters, which I don't see in catalogs from this period, so I have to assume it's been modified. If you need any additional information from me, just let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I think it's a 1988 ST400. Lots of variation from catalog spec on components but the original owner could have specified changes upon the original purchase, and 30 years have gone by since then.

I also agree 1988. The Sport series decal was used in 1988. 1987 would have no decal.
