    1995 C600 headset size.....anyone?

    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"...

    What do I have?

    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...

    The Rarest Cannodale MTB 1990s/2000s

    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...

    Under the black paint a stainless steel stem

    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...

    Cannondale bible

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

    What do I have?

    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...

    POLL: to vintage or not.

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

    What do I have?

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

    Trying to narrow down the year of my F4000 frame

    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

    Trying to narrow down the year of my F4000 frame

    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...
