    Highest touring model seen

    I'd forgotten about the SunTour Command shifters on that ST1000. I used to look for them on eBay but never landed a pair. Had a similar pair of 6 speed Shimano shifters on a GT that was stolen. I haven't seen many ST/T1000s or above. There was a T2000 in 2003 but most years T1000 was the...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Looks like a 1993. Did you add the RaceFace crank? Are those SunTour pedals or perhaps copies?

    1990's Cannondale tandem

    I think that's actually a 1993 RT3000. I'm only seeing Ritchey cranksets on the 1993 and 1994 tandems. 1995-1999 were Sugino. Quite a few newer parts on it - shifters, rear derailleur, brakes, front rim, perhaps more.

    Suntour shifter assembly

    I don't think function will suffer without the rubber part. I think it's just there to fill a small gap between the lever and the backing plate/lever stop.

    SUPER V carbon

    Thanks. I thought it might be an XTR part.

    1988 Black Lightning

    I thought I might have a black Sprint front derailleur but so far I haven't found it, only a silver one.

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    A new one must have been very expensive. SunTour did make both 6 and 7 speed indexed bar end shifters. Perhaps when you have more time on the bike your hand will fall to the right spot without looking down.

    SUPER V carbon

    I had never seen the carbon Shimano brake arch before. Was is specific to a parts group or sold separately as an add on?

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    Looks like the saddle is nice. Those tend to be very pricey on eBay.

    Touch up

    I think your bike is a 1986. I see that the Rustoleum is American Accents Sun Yellow.

    Hello from ohio

    Bike is a nice find. Where in OH?

    Hello from ohio

    Considered not cool but I've purchased a number of rear wheels with spoke damage because some cool guy who didn't know how to shift/and/or/set limit screws on rear derailleur ran the chain into the spokes.

    Touch up

    Nice Job. Agree that you could do some sanding and/or filling with spot putty and smooth out the chips. Nothing to prevent you from doing that down the road. 80s frame but I didn't look up the year. Paint number could be helpful for others with the same year frame, please post it.

    F3000 SL

    Nice work. Wondering if that is a lathe chuck or some other machine? I can't imaging how it would get all those drill marks if on a lathe.

    1995 R500 for sale in Texas

    1995. Bike doesn't appear to need a whole lot. Girvin flex stem is a bit unusual on a road bike.

    Anyone know where I can source 3.0 SC800 decals?

    I think that model was only made for the 1991 model year so it's unlikely that a full original decal set exists. You can probably find some of the decals that are close on ebay, such as the down tube, head tube, and made in USA decals. You might contact a professional painter such as Joe...

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    The motorcycles and ATVs are generally credited with bankrupting the company I think. I've never seen one for sale but parts turn up on eBay.

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    That's interesting. I'd assumed he was with the team until they folded after the 1994 season. I was under the impression that the yellow and purple paint scheme was only used in 1993 and 1994. The original colors were a day glow yellow and red. Perhaps the yellow and purple was used in 1992...

    1988 Team Crest SR500 Cannondale

    They would have been built for the 1993 and 1994 seasons I think. Stieda was representing Softride at the time and I have read that Alexi had trouble with his back due to an accident in a Jeep. Some say that the bikes cornered really well as the rear tire stayed in better contact with the...

    Where did you ride your Cannondale today?

    I got out for a short ride on the recently built XS800 but couldn't post while the site was down. Build is an Ultegra triple crank, Deore 10 rear derailleur, 105 triple front derailleur, SRAM 10 cassette, and Microshift bar end shifters. It did get to about 10 that day but I got a late start...
