I wish I could help but I think I only have one 1991, an orange on black SM800.

What's the story on the Bowling Green designation? Serial number should provide size and build date.

The range would appear to be a 900M in 1996 to a Tarantula Competition in 1999. Is this for your F1000 or another bike?

That stem was also used on the 1991 SM2000. Are you looking for one with the Cannondale branding, or something functionally equivalent? Nitto probably made the same stem for other bike brands. There is a similar steel stem shown in the 1991 catalog on the SM800 but it's black and lacks branding.

I think it would make a nice gravel bike, not like I need another. I might be interested though. Top tubes seem really long on these frames. Normally I like the largest MTB/hybrid size but the 62 cm top tube on the Jumbo sounds like a stretch.

Not that I have what you are looking for but are you looking for a Magic branded crank that was made before Cannondale branded them as Coda? I think the 1994 Cannondales were the first models to come with Coda cranks.

What is your saddle height on your road bike? I am about 6' tall but ride with an unusually high saddle position for my height. I have a 1999 F900 in XL size. Saddle top to center of bottom bracket spindle is about 82 cm. My guess is that a large is a good starting point for most 6 footers.

The frame looks like a 2009 Quick 5 but the fork doesn't match the tig welded steel fork shown in the catalog. Fork looks like the 2010 Fatty. V on the bar code sticker translates to 2010 production. So it's perhaps a 2010 Quick that somehow got 2009 decals. What's the standover height?

1992 DV2000? Original Smoke front tire, I can't see the rear. Nice to see this early full suspension Cannondale MTB.

2000€ sounds like a lot to me for a Tiagra bike but I am 20 or 30 years behind the times in terms of what I think of as reasonable prices for bikes and components. I didn't attempt to analyze whether all the components would function well together but in general I don't see mixed component...

Welcome. Three great bikes. I especially like the Delta V 2000.

I am not an expert on these hubs by any means. I believe some SunTour hubs were made by Sansin. I have numerous NOS SunTour hubs from the same general era. I don't remember the rubber bits but will try to remember to look at some of the hubs I have on hand. PM or bump the thread if you...

I'm having trouble seeing why 29" is preferable to 26" for a gravel bike other than that the industry has pretty much abandoned 26" at the high end. As I see it 29" has some advantages for MTBs in rough terrain as the larger diameter wheels roll over obsticles eaier and smooth the ride out...

I agree. I have such a stock of 8/9/10 speed parts from the 1990-2010 era that I have been able to build and maintain everything I've come across with parts on hand. One of these days I'm going to have to give some modern parts a try.

We really need someone who was with the company at the time to answer these kind of questions. I can only guess. I would think that there might have been some pre-production painting of frames to try out new colors and graphics.

Mechanical function is always a plus. I remember trying several front derailleurs with the Deore 9 shifters on the flat bar build before I got one that worked. I probably didn't have a Deore 9 FD with the right mount and ended up using a Sachs 5000 which worked great. I think MTB frames...

Too bad that the pinkbike listing doesn't show the fork or head tube decals. The head tube decal that you posted was first used on 2000 models. Some questions defy a definitive answer.

A complete bike always helps to identify a model, but Cannondale often made changes to the components listed in the catalogs. Cost of parts may have had something to do with it. There were a lot of relatively new component manufacturers in the 1990s, especially for MTB parts. Some may have...

Welcome. It's great that you are getting neglected bikes back in operating condition. I've done a few odd builds too. I put a brand new Tiagra build on a late 80s SR700 that I picked up from a forum member. Made a pretty nice bike of it. I have a CAAD3 R4000 that I built with a flat bar...

It's definitely a 1995 model as that was the first year for F series models, and 1996 would have had a CAAD2 or CAAD3 decal. Seems likely that the F400 was a mid year introduction with the M400 paint. The frame finishing depended somewhat on who was doing it. I've seen some variation on...
