    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    26 to 25.4 shim is very thin but guess it would hold up if made of stainless steel. My stems are all black. You might as well use one of the 5 degree 25.4 ones in STL. You could always sand and polish a black one. I've done it with Coda crank arms that were scuffed up. Lots of work but will...

    I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it were bigger.

    OK, that sounds right to me. That's a good article. Did you check out the available stems? Pricey.

    WTB: Cannondale CAD3 frameset in size 52

    Might be tough to find. 1998 was the only year that CAAD3 Saeco frames were made, and 52 cm is not a very common size. What's more important, that it's CAAD3 versus CAAD4/CAAD5/CAAD6, or that it's a Saeco frame? There is this 52 cm CAAD3 R900 on ebay, but it's not Saeco...

    In search of 1990 Cannondale SH600 2+2

    You can put cable stops on the downtube bosses and run a flat bar with thumbshifters or Rapidfire. The older frames are 126 mm rear hub spacing, so you will be limited to 7 speed unless you want to spread the frame to 130. That's generally not recommended but I rode thousands of miles on an...

    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    I thought your stem looked longer than 140 mm. My friend in STL hasn't gotten back to me. I can't remember for sure but think there were some silver ones. All I have here are black. The other issue is going to be bar clamp diameter. 1998 catalog says they were made in both 25.4 and 26.0...

    In search of 1990 Cannondale SH600 2+2

    Have a look at the 1990 catalog. Geometry for the 25" SH and ST frames is exactly the same. The only difference is that the SH fork has a bit less rake which results in more trail. I doubt you would notice the difference. Do you need cantilever brakes? Some of the older touring bikes used...

    What about a touring frame? Geometry wouldn't be much different. Depending on what the drivetrain is, it might only require a bar/stem/shifter change to convert.

    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    Did you measure from the centerline of the steerer tube to the center of the bar (through the center of the extension)? I have a black stem here that measures 120 mm. It looks quite a bit more than 20 mm shorter than your stem to me.

    ID Please

    Looks like a Delta V. Model number is on the top tube. It's a steal at $50.

    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    I am guessing that your current stem is about 6-10*. I will look for something in the 100-110 range with similar angle. Don't hesitate to contact me if I am slow to respond.

    Replacing Stem on CAAD2 H800 (DD25 Headshok)

    I have several extra Headshok stems. Most of them are NOS ones that I bought from a bike shop in St. Louis. They are at a friend's house in STL. If you can give me an idea of the length and angle you need I will have him take a look. I may have one or two extras here as well.

    bike id - what model?

    Look for a two letter code stamped in the underside of the BB shell. You may have to move the cable guide to see it but on my '99 R4000 it's visible without moving the guide. The 2 letter code will at least pin down the year of manufacture. My guess is that it was sold as a frameset. Another...

    Nice bike. You should check the frame dimensions in the catalog and post size.

    Where do I find wheels for 3.0 Road?

    Serial number on my '88 (one year prior to the 3.0 series) is on the underside of the right seat stay, just above where it connects to the dropout. Some years may have it on the underside of the chainstay. https://vintagecannondale.com/info/serial_numbers/ Most bikes in this age bracket have...

    I have been looking for an SH as well, thinking that they would make a great all-surface road bike. Will be sure to let you know if I see a 1990 600. What size do you want?

    Hey Christian, This '92 DV900 looks to be in decent shape. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-delta-V900-MOUNTAIN-BIKE-FRAME-19-5-HEADSHOX-IN-GREAT-CONDITION/264274630709?hash=item3d87fed835:g:AQIAAOSwJQVcTLaX:sc:USPSPriority!61345!US!-1

    I may have a black one on a crank that I sanded and polished. What is the BCD?
