Sounds like your measurements are a bit in conflict with the geometry chart. A "56 cm" SR500 seat tube measured 23.1" (58.7 cm) to top, and had a 22.05" (56 cm) ETT. The 54 cm frame had a 22.4" (56.9 cm) seat tube and a 21.46" (54.8 cm) ETT.

What size is it? Not sure I've ever seen a Silk Road bigger than 56 cm, but they surely made some.

I think the 600 was only offered one year in the USA, 2004. European models may have differed. I think it may have said Road Warrior in the catalog, but Warrior on the frames. Some years had an "R" after the number, presumably meaning road. Here's one on Milwaukee craigslist...

After looking, I found that one of the frames is an Optimo. For some reason it was a CAAD5 in my head. I don't really want to sell the other one as I've been trying to collect an example of each series of US built road frames. Started with a 3.0, then a new CAAD4 R4000 - have been filling in...

I think that's a fairly early tandem, 1989 or so. Believe it's 25"/23" as indicated in serial number. If so captain's seat tube should measure about 26 1/8" from center of crank to top of tube, stoker's about 22 7/8". Not sure about rest of serial number, but might indicate May 8, 1988 build...

I'm sure the rear spacing was 130 mm, which is still the standard for 11 speed road. Just be careful on what wheels you buy, as there are surely some 135 mm spaced wheels out there for cx/gravel frames.

Checked my CAAD5s, both are 60 cm. Not your colors but I think only .75 cm longer top tube than a 58. Looking for solid colors or fades OK? 2002 R500 was solid yellow, 2003 R800 was solid blue. There were some other models with fades. Happy to facilitate if you find something in northern...

Might be a 2007 Adventure 400. Download the catalog and check your components against what's in the catalog.

Shape looks similar to the Coda 1000 that came on high end bikes circa 2000. Seems to me Cannondale made some red/white/blue bikes to honor those who responded to the 9/11 attacks. Seems likely that the saddle came from one of those bikes. Search around, perhaps you can find a pic. I don't...

Looks like a 2007 Six13 Team 2 or Team 3. What are the components? Team 2 had Ultegra shifters, Team 3 had 105.

Those frames are quite a bit different from the road frames, being made for wider tires, having cantilever brakes, and slacker head tube angles. Although they came with flat bars, I think they'd make a great gravel road bike when equipped with drop bars and bar mounted shifters.

Did you buy it new? 1984 catalog doesn't have any information really. Would be interested to see a list of components.

I love the touring bikes. I have two now that are what I ride when I may end up on any type of surface. Post some pics.

I think there's another thread here that mentions someone that does headshok work. I don't know where you can get the quad-wrap style decals. Velocals has a partial set that is close to those used on some early 2000s bikes: http://www.velocals.com/cannondale-bicycle-decal-set/ You might...

Interesting that they only sold Cannondale. My dealer was On Two Wheels, co-owned by former 7-11 rider Jeff Bradley. They had two stores that also sold Trek, Specialized and (pre-Trek) LeMond, perhaps some others I don't recall. At some point they closed the Moline store, dropped most of...

That's the date the frame was produced. New models came out late in the summer. Being July production it may have been a 2001 model rather than a 2000. I have a bone stock 1998 Silk Road, everything fits the catalog description. It is stamped IK, so November 1997 production; also a 1999...

Must have been a big dealer. Shop I used to go to in Moline never had more than one of anything.

That looks great. Nice to see the KW as well. Neighbor had a similar vintage Freightliner in the farm shop for years with the intention of restoring it. He died, his boys were less interested and the truck got sold. Hopefully to someone who will do something with it. Cabovers are out of...

It seems bikes sold in Europe are often hard to ID. Colors often seem to vary from USA spec, so perhaps it's best to ignore that angle. CAAD3 frames appear to have the cable stops on top, CAAD4 and CAAD5 have them well below center-line of the tube. Your frame was made in July, so I'd guess...
