Looks to be a 1988 model, the 42nd frame produced on April 14th. Beyond that the components will be the best clues to fix the model. I believe that the only 1988 24"/26" model was the SM600. Check out the 1988 catalog and see if any of your components are a match.

I have New Success on several road bikes but have never experimented with using other derailleurs. Some folks claim that Shimano RDs work with Sachs shifters. I have read that Campagnolo and Sachs developed the Ergo levers jointly, but that may not be accurate. My guess is that Sachs helped...

Pretty sure it's been repainted. 26" wheels front and rear? Have a look for the serial number on the underside of chainstay or seatstay. 6 speed XT? Model number on the crank? Dia-Compe U brakes front and rear? That's unusual, front cantilever and rear U brake was the usual setup.

Where did you find that catalog page? It doesn't appear in my 1995 USA catalog. I'm fairly certain that it will be a 1" headset. Cannondale generally used Tange Seiki ME-II headsets on the hybrid models in that era.

Tough to build anything from a bare frame and come out with a bike worth what you put into the build, unless you have all the parts laying around and don't have any money in them. What year was the Good Boy made?

Pictures of the bike would be helpful. My 1995 catalog shows only two C series hybrids, and they are both Headshok models. Does the fork have a threaded steerer? If so, you can loosen the top nut and measure the outside diameter of the steerer tube. Cannondale used 1", 1 1/8", and 1 1/4"...

I don't think it would affect the value much either way. I think I would call it a '96 if I was to say it's an M900 just because of the color. But you don't really have to pin a model number on it since it doesn't match spec anyway. The most accurate description would be to find the date...

Was it the 30th anniversary of the company or of bike production? I assume of the company. I wish I had more pricing information on the common models. For a few years in the 90s Bicycling magazine published an issue that listed specs and pricing for most of the bikes sold in the USA. I have...

That looks similar to the Alico made stems, very common on mid 1990s road models. In the 1996 catalog they have the titanium look finish on the R700-R2000, and are painted black on lower models. Looking at the spec pages, the titanium finished stems are listed as Alico while the black ones are...

Thanks for posting more pages. Sticky is a good idea. I'll leave that decision to Brian.

You may be able to find the two letter production date code under the cable guide. I can't see it in the photo. The bikes in the 1997 catalog don't appear to have the "handmade in USA" decal just behind the stem on the top tube. If the decals are original, that would suggest that it's a 1998...

What rear derailleur are you using with the Campagnolo shifters? 8 or 9 speed?

Must have been a replacement frame or was meant to be sold as a frameset. Did it come with a fork?

Here's what I would recommend for a hub. There may be a cheaper place to buy it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHIMANO-XT-M756A-10-SPEED-32H-QUICK-RELEASE-6-BOLT-DISC-BLACK-REAR-HUB/193648003889?epid=2255330103&hash=item2d16520b31:g:HF4AAOSwImRYI73Q

Some good information here: https://wheelbuilder.com/blog/thru-axles-demystified-/

I wouldn't think it should be too hard to find a disc hub for your bike. For example I have a SRAM X9 6 bolt disc hub here that's 135 mm and has the 8/9/10 freehub. You can put a 9 speed cassette on a Shimano 11 hub, just requires a thin spacer. I know that 6800 road hubs came with the...

If it came with the 6500 group it would most likely be a 1998 or 1999 R1000. The crank is a later substitution. Ultegra was still 8 speed in 1997. I don't recognize the paint scheme. Are the decals on top of the paint or clear coated?

There may be a two letter code bottom right under the cable guide. All my frames are either older or newer than 2000-2001, so I can't say for sure where the code is.

Welcome. I started out with a Cannondale MTB too but since good roads are a lot more plentiful than trails in my area, I have spent more time on road bikes. It's always nice to have a back-up no matter what type.

I did some looking at aluminum Bassos but couldn't find one that looked like the pictured bike.
