You would have to have a same size and year 2.8 and 3.0 to compare. I have older 3.0 frames but not a '95. I think you're right about the 2.8 decal being non-existent on the MTB frames. I am not seeing one on my 1995 M900, but my '95 Silk Road frame has one - why I assumed the MTBs had them...

Those printed ones may be the only thing available these days. A long time Cannondale dealer might have some originals. I have a dealer about 50 miles away who still has some old parts.

Pretty sure it's an 8-32 with a .25" thread length. Original ones had a Philips head but a button head hex drive will work.

I like the color. It would be nice to add a fourth 1987 road frame to the cache and a different color. The Alpha 3000 stuff would have to go.

Interesting frame as it doesn't appear to have a 2.8 series decal or a CAAD decal. I don't know how the two differed. I have a 1995 M900 but that's my newest MTB frame other than a couple of Super Vs.

I haven't gotten around to checking for the BBs but I will give you what you paid for them.

That's a lot more maps than I would have guessed. Of course they have a lot more routes than in 1976. I'd guess a lot of folks ride the ACA routes who don't use printed maps at all.

I know that touring got a boost from the Bicentennial. Perhaps the Semiquincentennial will inspire some folks to take to the roads on bicycles.

Check your local bike co-op if you have one.

My first Cannondale road bike. Still have it plus a 2nd pink frameset that I've never gotten around to building. Neither of mine came with the graphics.

What bottom bracket do these take?

These FSA are as cheap as I've found. https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=6740 Pretty sure Isis bolts are compatible...

Nice work. If I didn't already have several 2.8 frames I'd be interested. I also have an MX Leader that belonged to a teammate of Axle Merckx. Same colors but red is on top and blue on the bottom.

Your list reflects my experience in that the early touring bikes seem to be much more common. I wonder why.

Maybe try to contact the forum member with the M700 for another photo. I thought the one in the gallery was pretty good.

Here's a stem that sold on ebay in November. Not in the best condition...

Could you have someone hand paint the gecko on the stem? In the USA I'd bet a good pin-stripe artist could do it but I don't know if they are as common in Germany.

Thanks. That would be a decent starting point if it is in fact a 22". I'm about 3 hours away. Always used to go the the January swap meet in Madison but haven't even considered it since Covid. It's coming up this Saturday just in time for the coldest weather of the season. Seller has not...

Nice work and great photos. I was aware of the Son hub but didn't know that it was so nice looking.

What threads are bad, cantilever posts? Is the fork moving in the headset tube?
