Welcome. Full suspension Cannondales do turn up for sale here from time to time.

What first attracted me to the brand was that the frames were made in the USA at a time when most manufacturers in the USA were struggling and lots of production was being shifted to cheaper labor markets. I simply wanted to support workers in my country and do what I could to keep some...

Made in USA is always a plus if that's where you live. The Lone Peak bags look fine but with no experience with them that's all I can contribute. Let us know how the rack works out.

I have no idea. I would message Craig at Mendoncyclesmith.

I probably have more questions than answers. What type of riding do you want to do and how much do you want to spend on the build?

Rear racks are generally pretty adaptable to various frames. I have a 1997 F frame so can see if I have something to recommend. I really do like the Jannd pannier bags for groceries. They are made to fit traditional paper grocery bags which should give you an idea about size.

I agree, not a Cannondale.

Just as a point of reference: I'm pretty sure any race car older than ten years old is eligible for vintage racing events. All the ones I worked on are over 20 years old (one is 50!), so I'm feeling old just thinking about vintage.

Sounds like you have it dialed in. Enjoy riding it.

That's a beauty.

It's great to see how much effort you put into your builds.

I think I have a better looking XT short cage rear derailleur if you want to swap the cages.

That is great. I've always wanted to do something similar and open for public viewing. Someone needs to open a Cannondale museum.

Might be a bit more than 30 years old, but nice to see someone appreciating an early Cannondale road frame.

First reaction to the question would be made in USA Cannondales. But they are already 13 years old, so I think at some point later models will need to be included.

I haven't kept up on current Campagnolo wheels but I'm guessing they are still sold with both Campagnolo and Shimano freehub bodies. Either way you should be fine with going to Shimano 11.

That looks like a 1990 SM400. Are the components SunTour XCM? Are you looking to restore it to original or make it fit your priorities?

Those dot matrix stampings can be hard to read. I couldn't begin to decipher yours from the photo. Crank does not look like anything that Cannondale supplied, but the frame is surely Cannondale. CAAD3? Picture of fork would also help.

Your grandfather's bike appears to be a touring frame but I haven't tracked down the exact year and model. The T1000 was Iceland Green for a couple of years in the mid 1990s. Since it doesn't appear to have a model decal, he could have built it from a frameset. I would look for a 1994 or 1995...

Nice find. I've looked for one without success. Always thought they would make a nice gravel roads bike.
