What are the brakes? Don't look like anything on stock 1994 bikes. The pic I found of Giove in the 1995 catalog shows canti brakes but they may have run others. Does look to be Viper Red, so could be a team bike.

I am terrible at evaluating ride qualities of frames, forks, tires....other than lower tire pressure generally rides better. I have Cannondales with steel, aluminum, and carbon forks. I would hate to generalize concerning ride characteristics related to fork material. What is the bike and...

It was certainly not unusual for Cannondale to supply bikes with parts different from catalog spec in the 1990s. I'm not sure how common it was in the early days but I'd guess less so. It won't be hard to find the NR post and calipers, but you will have to pay more for them than you will...

I can email them to you. PM me your email address.

I was guessing the location must have been somewhere north, surprised it's that close to Scottsdale though. I was thinking more like Crown King. That trail surface looks really soft, do you feel like you're riding in mush? Everything packs down hard here, except when it's wet. Thinking some...

Nice pics. Where did you take them? I used to visit Phoenix several times a year, but generally out towards Goodyear. Don't remember any big boulders in that area.

One of the advantages of the touring frames is the ability to take larger tires than the road frames. Not a factor if you never want to ride anything bigger than a 25 mm. I latch onto one of these whenever I can, have 3 at present. One has 28 mm slick road tires, one 30 mm file tread, one 32...

Pretty sure that's a 1989 ST400. Doesn't look too bad to me. I might upgrade the derailleurs, shifters, and brakes to something nicer but those are great all purpose bikes.

I couldn't find a SV 600 in any of the US catalogs. I think the SI designation started around 2001. Fork may be a Fatty Ultra DL. You might check with Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith. He services headshoks and leftys. http://mendoncyclesmith.com/

Poor reading comprehension on my part. Perhaps you can do without facing it. Put some layout fluid on the faces and tighten the cups. Should show if the faces are square or not.

Can't imagine why they would do the BB threading that way. Is the shell 68 mm? Know what BB you want to use? Will have to be something with a right side cup that interchanges with the left. Phil Wood with two left cups would be a good solution.

Could it be that the frame geometry is more suited to downhill than technical climbing? Pretty sure there were DH specific versions of the frame. Didn't know 74 cm bars existed. Guess that if you are comfortable in the riding position the greater width helps with stability.

There was a white SR500 in 1988 that was equipped with six speed 105.

Nice deal. Too bad it looks the same size as the one you had.

That's a nice find. I still can't make much out of the serial number but it looks like it might be a 63 cm frame.

Serial number and component models would help. Just guessing that it may be a 1999 F700.

You can probably decipher the serial number closer than we can from the pic. What are the components? Offhand I'd say it's a 1987 SR1000, just because that's the only model I recall that's white with blue decals. Should have Superbe Pro bits.

Looks to be original except for the saddle. I love the touring bikes for their versatility. Catalog lists the top tube for the 25" frame at 23.25", guessing there was a typo combined with a bit of measurement error. Honestly hit and miss when it comes to value. I bought the same bike (27")...

Good to know. I have 5 Headshok frames so I may hit you up for a stem at some point. As I understand it there were only two head tube lengths, so most of the vertical adjustment was done with the stem.

Happy to email them to you.
