I think the 1996 carbon forks were all black, not sure if they were clear coated carbon or painted. They may have painted framesets in random colors. When you bought it did you have to order it or did the local dealer have it in stock?

Lighter, simpler and probably more reliable than Rapidfire. They take a pretty good effort to make them move. I never had a problem with accidental shifts. I first used them on a road bike with an aero bar around 1993. The 1995 M900 came with SRT 800 X Ray GripShift, also have GripShift on...

In some years the smallest frame size was the Killer V style, while all the larger sizes were conventional frames. I'm not sure what year that frame is but it's newer than 1993 as it has a threadless fork. I think the color is more blue than the 1993 color. I think it might be a 1995 Killer...

Looks to be in nice shape.

The late Record O.R. crank is a thing of real beauty but Campagnolo never made much progress in the MTB market and the parts are hard to locate and expensive. Despite having probably built up 50 or more road bikes with Campagnolo, I have only built one MTB with it- and that is a steel Gary...

Viper red always looks good. I have a 1993 M800. I can't think of another Viper red bike in the collection despite it likely being the only color that was used for as many model years.

I have a bunch of frames from that era but none are that color. Closest I have is a 1995 M900 that is Diamond Black Metallic with Violet Pearl Hyper-Highlight. It looks to be a darker purple when it's in good light. I assume that you have been through the paint codes. The only way I know to...

It's a shame to cut a fork down if you can avoid it. I generally just add spacers even if some end up on top of the stem. See if Brian has any forks left that are long enough for your frame. That green looks nice. Are you going to stay with it?

I always thought they were the same. I think that I mentioned it to Brian once.

I would call it a 2006 Synapse Carbon 2. I think I'd rather have the Easton wheels - Ksyriums can be fussy to keep up.

Thanks for posting a great collection. What's the story on the Campagnolo equipped bike? Looks to be a 1991, but I don't recall a model built with Campagnolo.

Here are screen shots of that page. Wish they had shown the Sunset Fade version.

Looks like a nice bike but I would find it hard to spend $8000 for any bike. Any idea what it weighs?

About ten years ago I sold a nice DA 7400 STI group off a first year Trek OCLV 5500 for $250. Rebuilt it with functionally equivalent Ultegra but definitely wish I hadn't sold the DA.

Unseasonably cool here but still humid. I hoisted 50 hay bales into the loft yesterday and was pretty wet (and glad) when I finished. Started out by riding the bike to the shed with a gas can in hand, then had to go back home for an air hose (flat tire on the truck), and later for a jack (tire...

That looks to be a 2002 R3000 Si, which was the top CAAD5 model and second in the road bike line to the CAAD6 R4000 Si. 2002 was the first year for both CAAD5 and 6, and the only difference in the frames was that the CAAD6 had a BB30 bottom bracket and the CAAD5 was threaded. CAAD5 frames are...

I have several Dave Kirk built steel Serottas, and the dual suspension titanium road and mountain bikes that he helped design but probably didn't weld. Also have one of his Terraplane road bikes with the super curvy seat stays. His workmanship is superb and he is great to deal with. Sent him...

Here you go, 2000 Super V700. No idea why the disc version was not top of the line as I would have expected. http://web.archive.org/web/20061015232916/http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/ce/model-0VA7.html Paint is called Banner Green Fade. I have never seen it before.

Here is a link to what is supposed to be the top of the line Euro spec 2000 SuperV, a SuperV 1000 SL. http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/ce/model-0VA1S.html Shows as a V brake bike with LX/XTR mix with HeadShok Fatty Ultra DL fork. My guess is that your bike was built up from a frameset...

I could buy a new bike but don't have much desire to, mainly because there is always cool used stuff available. If I did it would be a custom frameset. A stainless steel frame from David Kirk, a Crumpton, a steel Weigle or Kvale.
