    '94 Super V

    The RaceFace Next crank was available in square taper in 1999. That Excel had it marked down $90 late in the year might indicate that it was being replaced by the ISIS version, which as far as I can tell they never sold. They show a TruVativ crank in 2000 which in the description they term...

    '94 Super V

    That is probably in the year range but I would have guessed ISIS was introduced a bit earlier. I have lots of mail order catalogs here from the general era. I will try to dig through them if you don't hear from RaceFace. Seems to me that I had a bad experience pulling an ISIS crank with the...

    '94 Super V

    Interesting crank, what years were they made? I'm not even sure what year ISIS was introduced but must have been around the same time as Octalink. Is that a triple crank?

    '94 Super V

    Nice work. Always good to see new paint.

    CAAD5 Special paint job?

    6500 fits the CAAD5 era. The Mavic rims in different colors were typical from 1998-2001. I wish I could be of more help but if the paint is original it would probably require someone who was at the factory to explain why it doesn't match anything in the catalogs. I don't know of any other way...

    CAAD5 Special paint job?

    Pictures aren't big enough for me to identify most of the components. In the 2002 model year, the R2000 was 9 speed Ultegra with Campagnolo Proton wheels. In 2001 it was Ultegra 9 with Mavic Ksyrium wheels. With a 20 year old bike, anything could have been swapped out. If it was made in...

    SOLD Free: 2007/2008 Catalogs

    I will take them off your hands if nobody else wants them.

    New school old school

    I'm not up on what changes may have been made on the newer bikes. I'd run the question by Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith.

    White lightning?

    I have my eye on another about 3 hours away. Too cold to make the drive recently. Power is out today and I'm running the generator to keep the boiler pump running. It was about 10 degrees here early this morning.

    Touch up or respray what’s the verdict?

    I painted the top tube on a Serotta road bike and blended it in. Even though the black original paint had very fine metallic in it, the repaint with straight gloss black is really not very noticeable. Even though I think it's great when people strip and restore these old bikes, for me it's...

    White lightning?

    It wasn't me this time.

    White lightning?

    That's a tough one. 1991 SM500 was black with white web but had red decals, had SunTour X-1 build, and the Cannondale decal was on the down tube. 1990 bikes had the Cannondale decal on the top tube but the catalog doesn't show any colors with the web color over the base color. In both years...

    '94 Super V

    You might try to capture the loose nut by getting it close to the opening and shooting a bit of expandable foam in to trap it. At least it won't rattle then.

    Vintage 1989 SR2000

    Wow. Pretty sure that's the first year for 8 speed DA, and that blue was a great color. Catalog doesn't list model number of the hubset, guessing that they were 7402. Unfortunately 7402 is limited to Uniglide cassettes but I'd still think the wheels alone would be worth $150 if in nice shape...

    2004 Jekyll 1000

    That looks great. I don't seem to have the patience for that much attention to detail.

    Help Identifying Raven frame model + year?

    I was guessing not as there wasn't a disc brake 1998 model and the forks didn't have mounts. They could have added discs after the catalog was printed.

    Help Identifying Raven frame model + year?

    Photos are too small for me to tell much. Does it have disc mounts? 1998 model frames and forks didn't have them, 1999 did. Looks to be Team Volvo finish, lacking the decals. There's a photo of Tinker riding one (with the sponsor decals) on page 13 of the 1999 catalog. That bike has V...

    1997 Speed Yellow or Team Yellow?

    Thanks. I forgot all about those. Found Speed Yellow and Gunmetal for the '93 M1000, assume it's metallic. Now to find a DuPont dealer.

    1997 Speed Yellow or Team Yellow?

    I have a 1997 F500 in Speed Yellow that needs a bit of touch up work. To me it doesn't look much different from Team Yellow in person, though it appears to be a bit lighter shade of yellow in the catalog photos. Anyone have a source for either color? I'm guessing that I can add a bit of white...

    Cannondale SM600

    I have at least one pair of NOS roller cam brakes in the parts box but have never used them. I'm looking at a 1985 Cannondale that might be a good place for them.
