I didn't know the Ritchey was still available in 1".

Profile fork? Where did you find a new one? Should be a great ride.

Front derailleur clamp and seat post clamp sizes are both 31.8 mm.

This is kind of pricey in my opinion but looks functional if a bit clunky. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133573798543?hash=item1f199e6a8f:g:pjYAAOSwzJBgU3VD For other tube diameters: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154189864302?hash=item23e66e9d6e:g:2cQAAOSwCuBgU3dz

I'm glad you found such a nice example of your first Cannondale. It gives me some hope of finding another one of my first, which was a 1989 SM800 that I bought new. That bike was stolen out of my truck in Champaign IL in 1995. I know you're not much interested in road bikes but you really...

That was the last thing I spent money on at a bike shop also. I bought several NOS steel road frames from an Italian builder and two of them needed the bottom brackets chased and faced. It was tough to find a shop that had Italian taps.

I wouldn't even want to attempt to duplicate the Diamond Black Metallic, much less the fade. Paint has to be really bad for me to go to the trouble to repaint. I usually just touch things up enough to prevent corrosion. I've repainted a Basso Loto that was super ugly before painting but...

I think 1994 was the only year for the DV600. It came with 7 speed STX and an LX rear derailleur. How are you planning to build it?

KJ could be a 2000 model year bike. We really need to see the bike to get beyond the maybe stage.

Glad that you got it and are reasonably happy with it. I've been happy riding a lot of different bikes that wouldn't typically be my size, both large and small. Pretty impressive to do a ride of that distance on any bike.

The MT bikes go back close to 30 years. We can probably figure out what you have given the serial number and some pics of the bike.

I have bulk rolls of black BBB brake and derailleur housing and another roll of grey brake housing. The grey is a good match for grey Shimano derailleur housing. There used to be a supplier in AZ who carried BBB but I've lost track of him. As I recall if you look closely at the BBB housing...

I would keep an eye out for another Silk Road frameset. I've purchased three on eBay that were not very expensive. Looks like you have a dent in the top tube, so that combined with the cracked fork make a frameset the way to go. I could part with one of my framesets but I'd guess that the...

You are correct. I should have take a closer look at the first picture you posted. That solves the fork issue. I'd still build it as a Saeco replica. You could go with another 1997 CAAD3 model but the Viper Red paint of the Saeco is probably as easy to duplicate as any of the other colors...

The Jandd grocery bag panniers have similar hooks but they have two mounting holes. https://www.jandd.com/search_results.asp?subcat=11

I am looking at a print copy of the 1999 full line catalog, the one with the Volvo rider (Cadel Evans?) on the cover. The police bikes are mentioned on the same page with the F900 and F700. I believe there's a copy of that catalog in the catalog section.

Looks like a CAAD3 to me. CAAD2 had a 1.625" (41.4 mm) constant diameter down tube. CAAD3 down tube increases to about 2.2" (56 mm) at the bottom bracket. Interesting that it has the threadless Time fork. The Saeco team used Time forks in 1997 but I'm not sure that they used threadless ones...

I haven't been able to find any SRAM equipped Bad Boys in the catalogs so far. Just trying to place the year by the components. Have you checked with a dealer? I would think they could ID a bike that's that recent. I would put a little heat to that hanger with a propane torch. Can't...

I used to have parts organized better but now they are scattered around in 5 locations and I never know where to look. Crown race removal can be difficult but it should be relatively easy on the Cannondale fork

Glad you found one. I would have sworn that I had a NOS XT headset on the shelf but when I went looking I couldn't find it.
