The only response I received from the seller is that it has the identical code of BI-0301 on the seatstay as @ryedog ’s Beast. And that he hasn’t measured the bike yet.

I messaged the seller. I asked for serial number info and a ctr of bb to ground measurement. I don’t detect any Cannondale lettering under the white paint. Though the pictures are low quality digitized photos. I’m guessing 92 or 93. Who knows? This is a good way to spend my morning coffee time...

Beautiful frame! Thanks for sharing. I have no clue what the numbers on the seatstay is. Some kind of production code would be my guess.

The color is my favorite shade of blue. It will be one of the best looking bikes on this site once completed.

If I were to guess as to why there isn’t a model number it was purchased as a frame only. The model designation denotes components installed.

Handlebar installed. The controls need to be fitted to my daughter yet. Gratuitous photos:

Polished and waxed.

There is one of those for sale on my local fb marketplace. I had wondered about the year. It’s in ok condition. I don’t recall the price. If you’re looking for a wheel or wheelset I just bought a 26” rim brake set from Velo Mine for $150. Fast shipping. They have several on sale right now. I...

I’m sure you already know this but proceed with caution with brake cleaner and seals/o-rings as they may not be compatible. The seals may swell or melt. My one disc brake bike (08 F3) I have the pistons were seized after not being used for 5+ years. The seals were also toast. There were no...

Vintage Cannondale’s had fantastic paint. I didn’t bother with a before and after photo. But trust me, a bit of Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound, terry cloth and not a lot of elbow grease reveals a stunning metallic silver paint. It wasn’t this brilliant before the polish. A picture posted on an...
