Wondering if you could re-tap to the next larger fractional size. Autozone used to sell small kits of a single size that weren't very expensive.

Friend has Zwift and likes it. I don't know if he bought their bike or is using something else.

Frame size is usually at bottom right as you read the numbers in this era Cannondale.

I once took a fresh build up to WI to ride with a friend. I'd left the stem slightly loose intending to do that but forgot about it. We were ten miles from his house when the stem came loose and of course I didn't have the tool to tighten it. Got a nice walk out of the deal until we found a...

There's an R800 on eBay that's listed as an XS800. At least it's a Cannondale.

I often get the stem alignment slightly off with the bike in the stand.

I forgot about Assenmacher. Wasn't sure he was still in business.

RX100 gave up very little in performance compared to 105.

I don't think those RDs were in production for very long. They might have been made after SRAM bought the company. The Sachs brand was quickly phased out.

Just that. Contact Brian.

So the original fork is JIS? I'd contact Doug Fattic in Niles, MI and see if he can cut it down to ISO.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Paul brake. Looks like it has a lot of vertical adjustment. The Shimano brakes I looked at were a long way from having enough adjustment to reach a 700C rim. I'm still on the fence about the fork.

Thanks. I'm wondering if there's a chance that a V brake will have enough adjustment to work on a 700C rim. I can check that on one of my bikes.

Looks great and it's the first year for them I think. I'd certainly ride it some but not so much as to put much wear on it. I rode my 2001 XS Friday.
