    Is my Canondale rare? Please help never seen one before

    There was a Street Headshok in 2003, only available in Europe. But that frame had loops of about 1" in diameter on the undersides of the seat stays. No prominent CAAD decals on it either. No Street model in the 2004 USA catalog, but perhaps it was in the European catalog. Check the bar code...

    Is my Canondale rare? Please help never seen one before

    I don't remember the model but it looks to be basically similar to 2000 and up F series frames. Odd that it has no CAAD decals. Perhaps has already been repainted.

    What Tire Size for 1987 Criterium?

    I would have said 28s off the top of my head, as I thought that I had run some on my 1987 SR600. Actual size of different brands do vary greatly though, and the rim width can affect the diameter of the tire once mounted and inflated. Was the clearance much tighter at the front compared to the...

    Used Synapse Ultegra worth $1500?

    Found it at the Helen's Cycles site. It's a 2016 Synapse Carbon 3. I have a 255 page print copy of the 2016 catalog but the bike doesn't appear there, so evidently a mid year model introduction. https://www.helenscycles.com/product/cannondale-synapse-carbon-ultegra-3-27312.htm...

    Used Synapse Ultegra worth $1500?

    Paint looks almost identical to the 2017 Synapse Carbon Disc 105 - only problem is the Disc 105 part of the equation. Still looking through the catalogs.... https://www.cannondale.com/-/media/files/manual-uploads/manuals/2017_c_catalog_full_lr.pdf

    CAAD9 Restomod

    I wouldn't think your M700 would weigh 30 lbs. As I recall, my 1995 M900 weighs right at 25 lbs.

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    Glad to hear that it worked. Lots of experienced folks over at the Paceline forum.

    Need hlp with the year of my F600

    2002 looks right based on the decals on the fork. Also the disc brakes and CAAD4 frame are consistent with a 2002 F600. You might check the component list in the back of the 2002 catalog and see how it compares to your bike.

    New/old Cannondale tourer

    Don't blame you. I've never paid $90 for a cassette of any brand/vintage. I've taken a lot of cassettes apart and replaced the spacers in order to get what I was after.

    Need hlp with the year of my F600

    1999 was the first year for disc brakes. Your BB stamps look consistent with 1999, as 2000/2001 should have had a 2 letter date code in the same place that you have the size (XL). On the other hand, the head tube decal is from 2000 and later. I didn't find your paint/decals in either 1999 or...

    12-32 and 11-28 are the common ones these days. Here's a lower end HG 13-30 that's reasonably priced. He only has one though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234027236447?hash=item367d1c3c5f:g:wgIAAOSw6jhgr7rF HG70 if you want to spend $90...

    F500 Wanted - Mean Green (1999/2000)

    Sorry to hear that you've joined those of us in the stolen Cannondale club. Hope you can find another one in Mean Green but it might be tough. I think that color was only used in 1999 and only on the F500, SV400, and MT2000 (tandem) MTBs. Tropic Green was available on several MTB models that...

    Not much here for NOS MTB cranks other than the FSAs. I have a lot more stuff for road bikes than mountain. Perhaps you just need a new cassette and chain. I might have something that would work depending on what you need.

    OK, 567 was rated for 32T large cog and 39 capacity. https://si.shimano.com/api/publish/storage/pdf/en/si/R430D/SI-R430D-000-00-ENG.pdf

    The RSX shifters were just that much cheaper than the 105s would be the main reason for the T900 being 7 speed. Are you sure about that model number for the RD? Doesn't ring a bell for me and doesn't show up in a search of Shimano tech docs.

    The M591 is rated for a 34T large cog and total capacity of 45. So it should be able to handle the range of gearing on your bike. I don't know what model your present derailleur is but an M560 GS is rated for a 30T large cog and total capacity of 36, with the SGS rated for a 32 large cog and...

    CAAD 4 Identification please

    With the exception that it's a CAAD4 frame, that looks like it could be a 2000 Silk Road 400 - which is shown as a CAAD3 in the catalog. The 400 had mostly Tiagra components with Coda crank and brake calipers and CXP11 rims. CAAD4s originally had 1" head tubes (35 mm OD), but later ones may...
