    1990 SM400

    I never thought about running a threaded fork threadless but I guess it would work as long as the stem is installed with some engagement on the unthreaded part of the steerer tube. Are you going to buy a threadless headset? You can drive the pins out of the cable guides and shake them out of...

    Does your stem have a two bolt removable face plate? I don't know what the maximum rise is on available handlebars but a removable face plate might be helpful getting it through the stem. You probably have the most rise available on Headshok stems, so there's not much hope on improvement...

    L.L. Bean?

    I think all the MTB frames were the same in 1987 but there was a choice of 24" or 26" rear wheel on certain models, which obviously made for a different frame if only in geometry. Best way to equate it with a Cannondale branded model would be to list the components and compare them to the...

    fresh find: 2 early mtbs Cannondale SM800

    Very interested in the 20". Is it SunTour XCD? Too bad the paint isn't better. 1989 models didn't have model decals as I recall.

    Wanted 63cm Road Bike

    That looks to be a 1991 frame, sold only as a frameset in 66 cm. Essentially an SR or SC600 with the 105SC build.

    L.L. Bean?

    Sure, if priced right. Looks to be in good shape, perhaps better than pictures show. I just payed $150 for a similar vintage Cannondale MTB in much rougher shape.

    Wanted I am looking for a 1987 SR400 ,mint green ,with custom graphics, frame or entire bike 52 or 54cm

    That's going to be a tough one to find. I think many more were sold in Slate with pink decals. I own a few 1987 road bikes but none of them have the custom graphics.

    ‘93 beast of the East

    I have the same bike with pretty much the original LX build. Cool to see the Kooka crank and Ringle(?) stem.

    If you had the money to buy a new bike would you?

    Ran a large black Topstone 4 through the system and came up with it in stock at 5 dealers in the Midwest. Ran it through in Mango and found it in stock at dealers in NY, UT, WA, and FL. So the system evidently works. Seems like it's going to be tough to find.

    If you had the money to buy a new bike would you?

    I ran it through the Cannondale dealer search but the site didn't show any in stock at MI, IL, WI, IN dealers. Just said call for availability. May try some other models and see if it does actually show some as in stock at a dealer.

    L.L. Bean?

    That's the first Bean MTB that I have seen. The others have been touring bikes, made by Cannondale, likely in 1987. http://community.vintagecannondale.com/showcase/st400-l-l-bean-1987-with-a-new-promenade-handlebar.1983/ Search Bean on this site for a few more threads and information.

    R600 Revisited

    Glad to hear that you found a workable pedal setup. The Shimano shoes look like they might be easier to clip in than most MTB shoes.

    Vintage 1997 Canondale F900 parts requested

    I have the same frame, pretty sure it's a 1997.

    Seat Stay Diameter Question

    If you have rapidfire shifters I would stick with the same era XT front derailleur, that is: 8 speed. The newer 9 speed models may have been made for a different pull ratio. I think you would be safe with either M735 or M737 front derailleurs.

    SOLD 1994 Cannondale M300

    Assume that it sold locally. I can't imagine that it would remain unsold for long anywhere in the country at that price.
