I finally settled on a Giant Contact OD2 stem, but was considering a Ritchey as well. Beyond that, there’s few options.

If all goes according to plan, I'm going to be swapping the cockpit from my 1992 to the 1994 and I can check the steerer material then. Thanks for the answer on threadless forks. I wish that finding stems to fit 1 1/4 forks was a little easier.

Here’s the reply from Cannondale: “The only way to determine if your bike is affected by the recall is by checking the steerer tube for the type of material its made of. Only aluminum steerer tubes were affected.” I checked my 94 M700 steerer and a magnet stuck to it, so I’m in the clear.

Ok, I did some more research and found mention of the recall being for forks manufactured between August 1991 and August 1992. My M700 serial indicates production in October 1991 (thanks to the serial number decoder here), so that lines up. I still contacted Cannondale about it, though.

I bought a 1994 M700 frame and was interested to find that its seemingly original Pepperoni fork is threadless, as my 1992 M700 fork is threaded. The matching original paint is what makes me assumevthe 94 threadless fork is original. When my 1992 M700 fork was recalled, I chose the replacement...
