    1985 ST400

    I can't remember much about what parts came with this when I purchased it several years ago, except it had the original Shimano 600 45/50 crank and brake calipers. I added 7 speed indexed bar cons, Fir tubular rim wheels and knobby 33 mm tires. I just use it for rides that involve some...

    It's a mystery T600/ mystery solved.

    I can't see the graphic well enough. My guess is that it's an alternate color that was introduced after the catalog came out. I didn't go beyond the 1994 catalog, but I think 1992 may have been the last year for down tube shifters on the touring bikes. After that they generally had bar cons.

    Dead of my frame ???

    I've not seen that before. My only guess is a flaw in the tubing when it was new. Looks like a really nice bike otherwise and lots of valuable parts on it. Will the seller take it back or give you a partial refund? Those frames are not too hard to find. Perhaps you can find a replacement...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Those are new to me. Beaver seem to be less of a problem around here lately. 20 years ago it was common to hire dams dynamited to keep streams from flooding farm land. Haven't heard of any issues recently.

    1987 SR400 Team Comp

    56 cm is what I would guess. I'd say paint and decals are original on both bikes.

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    Bikes are a hard sell in winter but it's unusual to see asking price go up with the temperature.

    Unknown 1998 CAAD2, please help identify.

    Good point. I saw the disc rotor and just assumed it was a disc brake fork

    1987 SR400 Team Comp

    Looks like it might be the same size as the first one.

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    Interesting that the price has gone up. Anticipation of spring?

    So a 20" frame made on the 4th of August 1986.

    Highest touring model seen

    Thanks for the list. There are more touring models than I remembered. I don't recall ever seeing a T/ST600 or T800. The registry is an interesting idea but the number of submissions we would get would hardly scratch the surface of Cannondale's production. We have the gallery for Cannondales...

    Unknown 1998 CAAD2, please help identify.

    It's a 1999 but the model may not be something that we can determine. The closest bike I found in the USA catalogs was the 2000 F700. It had a front disc brake and rear V brake, but it was a CAAD3 frame. Your bike is a 1999 because of the head tube decal style, and 1999 was the first year for...

    Cannondale History

    What size do you need? I have a couple of Silk Road framesets in the basement. No idea what shipping would cost. I have two Silk Roads built up. Here's the first one I purchased, a 1996 SR500. It's built for all surface use, with wide range gearing and 27 mm cyclocross knobby tires.

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    The 60-70 degree temps we had here in the past few weeks have ruined me for riding now that it's back to normal - highs in the 40s mainly.

    Another very old ST500. 1983 or 1984

    Looks nice. Tempting to see if my brother could pick it up for me next time he's down that way for work - but do I really need a fourth 80s ST 00?

    1987 SR400 Team Comp

    You should look for a pink 1987 SR600 (my first Cannondale road bike) or SM800. I have a nice pink 58 cm SR600 frameset here, been slowly acquiring the Shimano 600 bits to build it back to original spec.

    If it's a 1986 model, the serial number could be on the underside of chain or seat stay. https://vintagecannondale.com/info/serial_numbers/

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    I will have the look for the MKS beartraps. The SunTours bring more money than I want to spend. I have lots of SPD pedals but seldom want to take the time to change shoes.

    Hello from ohio

    I lived in NW suburbs of Columbus in the mid 1980s. Only got to Cleveland for one weekend a year for the CART races. I really like southern OH for the hills and woods. Thinking that the winters would be much milder as well.

    Dia-Compe XCT brake pad part number?

    I'm no expert on the various models. They had numbered models as well, in the 1980s/1990s Cannondale used 984s and 986s on MTBs and touring bikes. You might look through the listings here and see what models had similar pads...
