    1993 R2000 2.8 Road Bike with Dura Ace

    I bought a 1992 R1000 a few years back in similar condition and was happy to pay a bit over $500 for it. Top of the 1992 road line, same frame and fork but the (perhaps) more collectible Mavic 8 speed indexed build. Beautiful bike with a very desirable build. I'd love to have it in the...

    m1000 owner in NY :)

    Sounds like a great bike. Did you find a later threadless fork? I think 1994 may have been the only year for threadless 1 1/4" steerers.

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    Those Record/Wolber wheels would do the job nicely but I think they are a bit overpriced.

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    A great buy for $75. I paid twice that for a 1985 ST400 in great mechanical shape, but has paint scrapes. I think these make great gravel bikes. Usually don't have low enough gearing but that's not too difficult to address. You could probably go to 700C x 35 mm or possibly 38 mm depending on...

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    Nice find. I have one that's the same color. I bought it as a frameset and built it with mostly vintage SunTour components. I used tubular rims and 35? mm Tufo tires with diamond tread. I had some good pictures of it but lost them when hard drive died. As for 27" tires, there aren't many...

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    I don't know much about the full suspension models as my Cannondale MTBs have all been either rigid or Headshok models. Hopefully one of our members will be able to give advice if you come across a full suspension model.

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    Don't hesitate to post about anything you may be interested in buying in the future. Assuming that you are looking for a front suspension MTB, I'd be looking out for F series Cannondales from the mid 1990s through mid 2000s.

    Bearings for my 1996 T1000

    I found the hub, it's a 901. Dust caps are such a tight fit that I can't budge them. How did you remove yours? Bearings appear to be 6903, 30 mm x 17 mm x 7 mm...

    New but Vintage

    Zipp started out in Indianapolis and I'm pretty sure was run by a guy who used to build parts for CART (Indy 500) teams. The team I worked for did some business with him. His name escapes me at the moment but somewhere I have a tape measure with his name.

    Hopefully the owner of a Cannondale :)

    There seems to be a decent supply of older Cannondales in the UK. I'm sure you will be able to locate one that fits your needs.

    Identifying Cannondale

    It's a 2012 Quick CX 1. The catalog is here: https://www.cannondale.com/-/media/files/manual-uploads/manuals/2012_mensrecurban_cusa.pdf There have been a few Quick CX recent sales on ebay, but all lower models than the CX 1...

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    After taking a closer look, I agree with roKWiz. The unfinished welds are enough evidence that it is not a Cannondale.

    Bearings for my 1996 T1000

    Don't hesitate to remind me, repeatedly if it comes to that. I try to check in here at least twice a day but once I leave the site my mind is otherwise engaged.

    Hi Nick, I'm not sure how to respond. Did you buy a bike that you are not sure of?

    Thanks for posting the vintage pictures. What year were you running Zipp disc wheels?

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    Is there a bar code on the underside of the bottom bracket shell?

    Bearings for my 1996 T1000

    I have a new Coda hub in the shop. Believe that it's a 900 model. I'll try to remember to look at it next time I'm there but it may be a few days. Bump the thread if you don't hear back from me.

    POLL: to vintage or not.

    I think of Sachs as a company primarily involved in small engine related stuff. Now that you mention it I believe that I have seen Sachs branded clutches for 5.9 L Cummins engines. I wish they had not abandoned the bike parts area. Even though made by several different companies, the Sachs...

    1995 C600 headset size.....anyone?

    I saw the C600 in the 1994 USA catalog, but the scan that you posted is clearly in the style of the 1995 catalog rather than the 1994. I haven't checked the catalog scans you linked but I'm guessing that you are looking at a 1995 model.

    Bearings for my 1996 T1000

    I would just get the same part number bearing at the bearing store. SKF brand if possible. Be aware that there are counterfeit SKF bearings out there and they are difficult to distinguish from genuine. I'd guess that you have a better chance of landing genuine ones in Europe than we have in...
