Glad to hear you tracked one down. Do you need someone who speaks both Dutch and German?

Thanks for the photos. The XS800 will primarily be used on mixed surface road rides in good weather. While I'd prefer a slightly wider knobby tire, I could make do with a 30 mm commuter type tire. Lots to consider here as I would need to build a disc brake wheel and buy a rotor and caliper...

I would have to weigh them all again but I'm guessing that my 1995 M900 is my lightest MTB. Catalog says 22.4 lbs. but with tire changes, rack and accessories it's around 24 lbs.

I'd agree on the max heart rate. Guessing I could easily top 200 minus age. Wouldn't be surprised to top it by 50 BPM.

Seems an odd place for the fork to fail. I would have expected it to be much closer to the crown of the fork. If the lower bearing was really sloppy it might have contributed to the failure.

I have an XS800 cyclocross (700C) fork that needs to be rebuilt, was rusted solid when I received the frameset. Could you measure from the edge of the headset cup to the axle centerline? I've read that 700C tires will fit on the 26" forks but don't remember the maximum size. Your fork will...

28" has never been commonly used as a designation in the USA but has been used in Europe to refer to 700C (622 mm ISO) tires. Not sure why as most traditional road tire diameters are closer to 27" than 28". There were also 28" rims used in Holland, UK, India, Sweden and China that were 635 mm...

My guess is that you will need the spacers as the Cannondale should have a 68 mm shell width.

I only have one Taiwan built Cannondale, a CAADX cyclocross from about 15 years ago. Purchased new as a frameset. It's been a great bike. Disappointing to hear that you've had problems. It's hard to comment without seeing some photos of the issue.

Great work!

Will be interested to hear what you bought and how well it works. I've never had one that worked consistently. Still have half a dozen or so new ones (ACT brand) that were evidently cheap on eBay because they don't work very well, and I've had Nashbar, Performance, and Polar in the past.

That's disappointing. I was thinking they might put you on to old stock somewhere. I bought some Sun road rims from Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee a couple of years ago. You may be forced to keep searching eBay and other used parts sources for a wheel. In the USA a lot of stuff turns up in big...

It would be interesting to get a working HRM and see what my rates are these days. According to the 200 bpm minus age rule my max would be 10-20 lower now than I used to average.

I wonder if someone at Sun could locate a rim.

Pretty sure 2000 was the only year for yellow CX frames. I have a 2000 in silver, wish it was yellow.

I couldn't find a 2008 Europe catalog. Maybe if you try the Cannondale site you can get one. US 2008 Bad Boys used Sun DS-2 rims.

I don't recall the G Star Raw. It is possible that the DT sticker on the rim referred to the spokes rather than the rim.

I don't think there was ever a connection between Sun and DT. Looking at the 2007 Europe catalog, several Bad Boy models came with Cannondale Bad Boy Disc rims. Perhaps they were made by DT. Other Bad Boys came with Mavic A317 or XC-717 rims.

I don't think the quadwrap decals on the blue frame were available in 1997 so it's either a 1998 or 1999. Team Blue with yellow decals was available on the 1999 R4000 but that was a CAAD4 frame and I think the one in the ad is a CAAD3. Doesn't look to have a model number so it could be a...

So was there a model number on the original rims?
