    Steerer Tube diameter for 2002 Cannondale R400

    All except the R400 I think. It had a threaded fork and a quill stem. Pretty sure it had a 1" head tube.

    1997 F700 - Full Restoration

    Nice job of painting the bar and stem. Are you getting wet paint or powdercoat on the frame?

    Moto Fork Boots?

    Black ones were made. I would check with Craig at Mendon CycleSmith.

    Anybody race/raced their Cannondale?

    I agree with you. I remember doing a Cat 4 road race near Springfield IL 25 years ago with some guy in the pack that was screaming at people - he was so wound up. Nothing at stake but he wasn't having any fun and kind of ruined the day for everyone else.

    Greetings and Salutations

    I don't know as I've seen a Salsa in 1 1/4" but I'd bet Kore made them, Control Tech too for sure. I found a 1 1/4" Syncros Cattle Prod in an old ExcelSports catalog. Other known makers from old catalogs are: Answer, Grove, Ringle, Rocket Science, and Zoom. I have a hunch that ITM may have...

    Did you mean 12 mm or 12 degrees? Saw the crank. I should probably pitch the PX3 arm and forget about trying to find a mate for it.

    FOR SALE: 1986 Cannondale SR800 (coral, 58cm)

    A 58 cm frame measures right at 612 mm from center of BB to top of seat tube. I have heard people say center of BB to top of seat tube minus one inch, but by my measurement it's closer to 1 1/8" (32 mm). The frame I measured is clearly stamped 58.

    Vintage Decals

    Brian is the guy that owns the site. My decals are white and were intended to go on a bike that will never be fully restored. I still have the bike but could possibly part with the stay decals. You would still be lacking the 3.0 seat tube decal.

    Greetings and Salutations

    Believe that picture was taken after I got home with a Campagnolo road wheelset in a box strapped on top, 15 miles with about 3" of snow on the roads. I also pulled a one wheel trailer loaded with 100 lbs. of groceries at times, 12 miles home as low as 20 degrees. Here's the geometry chart...

    Vintage Decals

    I'm not sure if Brian plans to have any more made. I know he is very busy at work right now due to the pandemic. Some of the decals you need are available at Velocals, but I don't think they have the 3.0 or stay decals. I have a set of 1987 decals that I got from Brian which included the seat...

    Greetings and Salutations

    Welcome. Nice Beast. I have a '93 that I purchased in basically new condition in the mid 90s. Have never needed to upgrade any of the original LX parts. It doesn't get ridden as much as it used to but it's still a great bike.

    First Project

    Some years/models have screws, some pop rivets. You probably have another on the underside of the left chainstay, or perhaps an open hole. I don't know why they had them but assume it had something to do with the manufacturing process. They may have filled the stays with Argon when welding to...

    WTB 1986 SR800

    I checked but didn't find anything on craigslist from central IA east, central WI south, all of IL, and St. Louis area. Will try to keep an eye out.

    CODA MTB Parts Needed...

    Is the stem for a Headshok or rigid fork? I have several NOS Headshok stems. Can't recall off hand what lengths/rises. They are at a friend's house in STL. The Coda saddles were made in MTB and road models, the MTB having kevlar fabric on the rear corners. I have a 1000 here somewhere that...

    1999 F2000 Dream Build? Vintage w/ modern twist feedback (Cancelled)

    Some models in 1999-2000 came with Ritchey, Continental, or Hutchinson tires. I have a pair of the blackwall Hutchinson Mosquitos which are probably less prone to rot than any skinwall.

    Wanted: 2000 F900 in Fire Mountain Fade

    Interesting to see that the 2000 R4000 had a similar Fire Road Fade, which added Team Yellow at the rear. Guessing that the level top tube of the road frames gave them room to add another color.

    2002 Lefty service

    We generally recommend that US members send their fork to Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith. http://mendoncyclesmith.com/contact_us.html# If that's not practical for you here's a link to a service manual. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/cannondale-headshok/headshok_service_manual_en.pdf

    1998 Cannondale CAD3 F1000

    Yes, if you could cut a concave that matched the diameter of the stay in a piece of wood, it would be less likely to deform the tube at the bend when straightening. Easy to do with a router or shaper.
