Wish we had received that much rain here, though not in one day. We need it to soak in, not run off. Are all nuclear power plants now disabled? Last time I checked I live in the state 2nd most dependent on nuclear power in the USA (New Jersey is 1st). Three power plants are within 100km...

Agree, much more room at the front. They kind of got that part wrong.

I've never seen a ring torn like that. It's a 42 isn't it? I have NOS Dura Ace 42 rings on hand but not black. They were meant for doubles but might work fine. Probably have some other 130 mm/42T used options.

Buddy has been very happy with his Jamis. Only issue has been the finish on the Tiagra parts hasn't held up well - as is typical of that era Shimano. The XR800 for $200 was a steal.

You are correct. Seems it might have been a one year thing. I wouldn't consider it a CX bike though because it has a flat handlebar. I remembered that the "real" CX models in 2001 were the Cyclocross 800 and 800 Ultra, which replaced the previous XR800 and XS800. I'd never noticed that the...

Just illustrates that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to bike sizes. You're two inches taller than I and comfortable on a 58 cm XS800. I think a 58 is too small for me and if they had made a 62cm, that's what I would prefer. Friend has a Jamis CX. I'm trying to remember the...

They were not CX frames, had caliper brakes with more relaxed geometry than the RXXXX road frames. I wouldn't expect them to fit much above a 28 mm tire, but I haven't owned one.

I still find it hard to believe that a difference of one tooth count between two chainrings can cause a dramatic difference in a derailleur's ability to shift. I admit that I haven't tried the combination. I do have a NOS braze on Sora FD-2303 here, you would need a 31.8 clamp adapter. My...

The only CAAD3 frame I have is a first year R4000 and it has down tube shifter bosses, so that's where the cable adjusters are located if you have bar mounted shifters. I couldn't tell from the pictures what your frame has but it may only have cable casing stops. In that case what you want is...

What we in the USA would term a "trade in". I just don't understand why the 2199 doesn't appear on the invoice. That would be the starting point here, and the 699 would be deducted from that on the invoice.

I doubt you will find one that was meant for 30/42/52 and 8 speed. I think your options are 9 speed Sora, Tiagra, 105, Ultegra, Dura Ace or 8 speed Claris. I really doubt the ring difference would be a factor. I'd be more concerned about the cable pull. I'm not sure if front cable pull...

I love my M800 and M900. 1993 and 1995 respectively. Not sure how much difference there is between a 1995 2.8 series frame and a later CAAD frame but I suspect little.

Might have something here. Remind me to look.

Nice buy at $100 total, frame looks pristine. I think of 1987 as the 24"/26" era but after checking the catalog I see that not all models were sold that way. I can see the drooping Cannondale decal. Did they manage to duplicate that on the other side? I have the same white Turbo that needs...

I've had a Tiagra 9 FD break also, seems to be a common failure. Pretty sure that any 8/9 speed Shimano road triple FD will work. There's a good chance I have something here but it might be prone to the same failure. You might consider a Claris 8 speed triple FD.

Thanks for posting that. What was the additional 699 for? Looks like the bike was 1500. I wrote down pricing in some catalogs mid 1990s but only on the models I was considering buying.

The 1998 catalog I have shows the M900 in Storm Blue Fade and Polar Silver. Speed Yellow was the Cannondale yellow circa 1997-8 and Team Yellow was common for a few years later. I don't see yellow in the whole MTB line in the 1998 catalog, except for Speed Yellow forks and swingarms on a...

It will probably run for quite a while doing that, but there's a reason the spoke broke in the first place. It's usually due to a single spoke being more heavily loaded than the rest.

I've never seen any sort of spec for cranks related to chainstay length. Might be an issue with fat bikes or some other frame configuration that I don't know about but standard road frames will take a wide range of cranks/chainrings - from 22 teeth at the low end to 56 at the high end.

As I understand it, it's fairly common for machine built wheels to break spokes. I assume it's due to excessive tension on a single spoke that concentrates stress in the weak point of the spoke, which is the 90 degree bend at the hub. The spoke may have been overly loaded to compensate for a...
