What is wrong with the fork? The boot looks fine to me, just straighten out the bellows and zip tie it to the headset.

I would still keep an eye out for an F series Headshok bike on the local market. You might come up with a fork you can use for not much expense after parting out the rest of the bike.

Hi Larry. That's a 1998 SV700. Color is Bar-b-que Black with Split Pea swingarm. It's shown in the catalog in white but yours is the alternate color. There is a complete list of the original parts in the back of the 1998 catalog. Note that Cannondale would sometimes make substitutions...

Check out the serial number section to pin down the year of your bike, or post some pictures and I'll have a look. SV700 was made in a number of different model years from at least 1995-2002. What is wrong with your fork? Mendon Cyclesmith may be able to help...

I'm sure you will be fine with 40 miles. I once rode my M800 twenty miles one way to a friend's house to pick up a pair of wheels. Rode home in the dark with a big wheel box strapped on the rack with 2" of snow on the roads at 25 degrees.

Great looking bike and a fair price. I really like the looks of the 600EX parts.

So what fork are you going with? I haven't kept up with what's currently available.

Sounds familiar. I have mostly ridden rigid MTBs. While we don't have a lot of steep terrain here, we do have a lot of tree roots, branches, fallen trees, and all too often mud. I guess that the mud is better than the road tar packed between the calipers and the tire on a "memorable" road ride...

I might be interested in the PX3 if you want to let me know where it's for sale.

Can't tell you how many times I have been down that road. Hope that you can get it built up without regrets. I must say that even on projects on which I spent too much, I don't remember any that I regret.

I don't know of one.

Good for you. Sticking with the Campagnolo?

Super V or any other dual suspension frame has been on my want list for a while. Hard to justify for the amount of rough trail riding I do though.

I don't know a lot about them but I have a drive side arm here. I believe it's 94/58 BCD. It's square taper but they may have been made in Octalink or ISIS as well. Is the one you are looking at square taper? I don't have any loose rings that are the right bolt circle diameter, but I might...

I thought that the M739 was below what they usually sell for, but was really looking for a black Coda crank for the project.

Welcome. Good to see that M700. I was spending a lot of time at the local dealers in the early 1990s and purchased a new SM800 in 1990 and a new M900 in 1995. Later purchased a 1992 Delta V900, a 1992 R1000, and a 1993 M800, all used. Sadly only one of the dealers still exists, but I have...

The clamp diameter is 1 9/16" or 1.563". Search eBay for Headshok (or Lefty) stem. I just bought a used one with 25.4 clamp for $25 shipped. Be sure that you get your preferred bar clamp diameter as 26.0 and 31.8 stems exist.

That looks really nice. I had a guy offer me an M739 XT crank for $70 + shipping when I was building my F900 last month. I passed on it as I was really looking for black. I'd guess the fork is going to be the hard part to find.

BBB values are way too low. They buy bikes and resell them. For example, they have a nice 1998 Trek 5200 for sale, priced at $1200. If you check their "value" guide, they say $470 for private sale or $275 trade in. I would think that you could get $200 for your bare frame and fork if it's...
