Only the SM800 shows in the 1991 catalog as being jade green, but that could be a replacement frame or sold as a frameset. It's not an SM800 as they had a sloping top tube. It has 26" wheels? Steel fork? That would make it SM700 or below. Check the component lists in the catalog and see if...

Try a PM.

Bike looks to be in immaculate condition.

That's a beauty. Any Idea on pricing? I have a couple of Super V projects........

Wheels needs to work on their Cannondale model list. There's nothing there before the CAAD era but they list that hanger as fitting 1991 frames. There were no CAAD frames until the 1996 hybrid and MTB frames and 1997 for road frames.

Is that a 20" frame or a 22"? I have the same frame and fork here, 22" frame. If I ever get around to packing it, it's probably headed to Idaho Brett to build up. I think it would look great with a full 1993 Shimano LX build, as everything is black.

Since you need a new freewheel (not cassette) anyway, you might as well see if you can convert the bike to 7 speed. I'm assuming that you still have the original wheels. You will need to see if there's room for another cog. According to Sheldon Brown a Shimano 7 HG freewheel is only 2.4 mm...

I think the Wheels Mfr. #17 is the right one. I can pull one off a CAAD2 road frame and check it on a 3.0 but it will take me a while. https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers/cannondale/derailleur-hanger-17.html

That model actually came with a RS Quadra 5 and Acera X V-brakes. I could see putting a rigid fork on it, but you'd want to find one with an axle to crown distance that's similar to the Rockshox so the handling doesn't change much.

August is late enough in the year to have been 1994 production. I can remember new models showing up in shops late in the summer.

The rub on the large cog could be from incorrect chain length. Does it happen with all three chainrings? My first Cannondale was a 1989 with XCD. I put almost 8000 miles on it with only replacing the chain a couple of times, and one freewheel. I don't recall either of the issues you're...

Looking back at the photos, it appears that you bought the 1994 T1000. That bike should have been 7 speed Shimano and should have had a cassette hub. Perhaps post photos of all the parts and we can figure out what you have.

Gripshift for SunTour is probably going to be hard to find. I have a few sets for Shimano 7 speed. I'm not sure I have 7 speed SunTour MTB shifters but I'm sure I have 6 speed. SunTour made 7 speed freewheels with 30 or 32 large cogs. There's a NOS with a 32 on eBay if you want to spend...

That's an 18" 1992 3.0 frame, could be M700, M1000, or M2000. It has been stripped and polished but it looks like the finish hasn't been maintained. I would just check eBay and see what 3.0 framesets in similar condition have been selling for. UK or New Hampshire?

I'd guess you are right on the year, though it could be a 1995. 1995 was the first year for polished frame, but that model came with a carbon swingarm. Force 40 brake cable routing is another reason in favor of 1994. Guessing someone stripped and polished a painted frame. Check the serial...

Since you mentioned the earliest Headshok, here's my 1992 Delta V 900. Built up ten or twelve years ago from a frameset I found on eBay.

Would a smaller big ring give you enough clearance? I have no idea what options exist for modern cranks. How much room do you need? I'm assuming the crank takes a Shimano external cup bottom bracket. You could have the left side shell faced by a couple of mms and use a spacer under the...

Klein had the first press fit bottom bracket that I know of, but I'm not a fan as it greatly limited what you could do if you wanted to change cranks. If I wanted to put a Campagnolo crank in my Aeolus (which I probably would have liked to do when I built it up), It might require a custom...

How many of those curly bars are turned upside down?

I don't remember the details but I think there was some legal back and forth between the two companies regarding who had rights to details about the manufacturing process. I'm just guessing but I'd think Cannondale sold a lot more bikes.
