    Greeting from New Hampshire

    Bike looks nice in the photo. I would keep riding it as is and do the required maintenance. You will probably be able to ride it for decades.

    1999 F500 fresh find.

    Looks to be really nice. Too small for me but you might want to add the size.

    1995 - 3.8 Series Hybrid: Hxxx vs Cxxx

    New question to me. Looking at the '95 catalog doesn't help as it doesn't even list the wheel size for the C/H bikes though I assume it was 700C for both. Trek and Gary Fisher had some nice green paint in the same era. I have a Trek 7000 MTB with beautiful green paint, also an 820 and a...

    1988 SM700??

    I wish I had the serial number of my 1989 SM800. There were definitely differences in components from USA to other markets in certain years. Nutted Maillard hubs seem out of place, but the Sun rims suggest to me that the wheels are original to the bike.

    R600?

    Looks like you have a stem that can be rotated down, which will result in the bar being farther forward and lower. If that doesn't get you where you want to be, the next step is to change stems.

    A192 CHAINSTAY

    I took one off a 2.8 road frame and was able to reproduce a functional equivalent. Not as nice as the original but it will work for me. PM me if you would like to have the original. Just be patient as I don't check in here more often than once a week on average.

    XR800

    I found a 2000 XR800 in like new condition a few years ago in Indianapolis. I think I've ridden it twice.

    1987 Cannondale SR600 - Vintage Road Bike in Hot Pink for Sale

    Nice, looks to be in great condition. The pink SR600 was my first Cannondale road bike. I recently acquired a 2nd frameset. The Shimano 600 SIS group is really nice stuff.

    XR800

    Wow, that bike looks like new. The orange is my favorite XR/XS color. I had an orange 56 XR for a number of years but let it go because it was too small.

    SOLD - Cannondale XS800

    Great build. If only it was a 60 cm.....

    A192 CHAINSTAY

    I'd forgotten they ever used a stop like that. It's odd that they went from the riveted on sheet metal one that I posted, then to welded on stops, then the A192, then back to welded on. I found the A192 on some but not all of my 2.8 frames, plus CAAD3s and a CAAD4. The CAAD5 I checked is...

    Wanted 1990 Cannondale SM 400, 600, 700, 1000 or 2000 frame + 1" Pepperoni

    Two of my frames are 22" 1991 models. They measure about 55.5 cm center to center, so I'm thinking 54 would be about half way between 20" and 22". I still need to check another frame that's hanging in a tree outside my shop in town. I walked right by it last night when I was there and didn't...

    A192 CHAINSTAY

    I've forgotten what part we we talking about. Is this it? I could probably attempt to make one. Getting the rivet hole spacing exactly right would probably be the hardest part.

    1996 R600

    Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't think to check the 1997 bike I had out today.

    2007 Caad9 3

    Great deal. That's cheap enough for a CAAD9 frameset.

    Wanted 1990 Cannondale SM 400, 600, 700, 1000 or 2000 frame + 1" Pepperoni

    I might have something one year off either way. Will need to check. PM me if I don't respond here.

    Creaky BB-5500

    Buy a set. There will be other things that you want to torque. I probably have lots of extras but not sure I could put together a set for all bike related sizes.

    oddly sized 53cm CAAD4T ?

    In the first years of CAAD4, odd numbered sizes were available to be ordered as framesets. Perhaps that continued to be an option in later years but wasn't promoted in the catalogs.

    I hate it when that happens…

    I was working on a Chinese chain saw yesterday. Couldn't believe how tight a 3 mm screw that doesn't even need to be there was tightened. It just keeps a little plate from falling off when the bar is removed. When the bar is on it can't go anywhere. I had to go get a longer wrench.

    1996 R600

    Not a very good photo but it's my 1998 R4000 stamped 60 at bottom right as you read the numbers. I'v got a bunch of late 90s bikes and I believe they all have the size in this spot.
