Which Model Is This?

Can't work out which model this one is.
Made in April 1998 but doesn't have a model name on the top tube and can't seem to find where to reference the frame code in any of the corresponding catalogues.
Images of the frame and corresponding BB numbers attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The only CAAD3 F models in 1998 were the F1000 and F2000. You could build it as either model as the frames were the same. Hard to judge the color by the photos. Most of the yellow 1998 bikes were Mango but your frame looks to be a lighter shade. I would have said Team Yellow but I don't see that color at all in the 1998 catalog and not sure they would have done a short run of frames in a color that wasn't in current production. No matter what the color, you have the top of the line hardtail frame in that era.

For anyone's reference, after a bit more research I'm 99% sure it's 1997 despite the date on the BB. The colourway is definitely Mango after looking at a few other images. The model is M1000 I'm pretty sure.

Either way - stoked to have it.

Will post some finished pictures once it's finished!
