Is your frame 27.2mm? I think I have seen one or two black posts out there but I think they are 26.something.

That sounds about right regarding the seatpost clamp, the edges are 'square' and there is a allen head on both sides as opposed to one bolt headed allen passing through if that makes sense. The front meach clamp is a simple affair, here's a better photo. I'm using a 7403 DA front mech. I...

The wheels and hubs are de-stickered DT swiss and super light, the flat blade CX spokes make a wonderful whoosh as they cut through the air. It is my only 'neo retro mod' to the bike although I may add Dura ace 9100 spd pedals to replace the mid 90s look carbon pedals at half the weight. I have...

I'm looking for a couple of small original cannondale parts for my R900. One is the seat clamp and the other is the front mech mount. Exact items I'm after are in the 2 pics. Black preferred but can strip and re-anodise other colours. Cheers.

Thanks, I absolutely love it! Awaiting an American classic seatpost to arrive then it will be complete and I'll bore the internet with photos of it! As for the Shimano BB, I purchased a SM-BBR60 (Ultegra) unit, the plastic spacer/shim pops out in seconds to leave the 25mm ID bearing face!

Thanks for the links, I have them all saved already! there are in fact 3 sizes of BB bearing carriers, 68mm & 73mm for triple mtb and 68mm road, which is quite a bit narrower than even the 73 mtb as they have to take into account one less chainring I guess. The last pair are indeed the ones but...

Hi, I need a pair of bearing carriers for the coda magic m900 cranks, the road versions are narrower than the mtb versions. I have a super pair of mtb carriers to trade.... Thanks.

Thanks. Yes it is very easy to lighten the bike considerably, chainset for the new SISL2, Columbus minimal forks, pedals etc. It's just over 18.5lbs right now and to be honest I've just decided I'm going to keep it mostly period correct with the DA7400. The DT carbon wheels will stay though, I...

Hi, I've had a few Cannondales since my first, a polished killer v900 in 1993 (a very early production bike that was used in the UK mags as a test bike). I've always loved the polished frames so I've built up a little collection again, all from the 1994 catalogue!! The killer vs are very early...
