    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    Generally speaking, I think it would be cheaper to go with Shimano for a bar end indexed shifter build. It's probably best to stick with 7 speed unless your rear dropout width is at least 128 mm. To go to 8/9/10 you would need a 130 mm rear hub and it's not recommended to spread 126 mm spaced...

    CAAD 4, 26 to 650b

    I haven't tried it but I'm guessing it will work with narrow tires. This discussion might prove helpful: https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=245242&highlight=MTB+650B What is the goal? The larger diameter wheels will roll over the rough stuff easier but you will have to live with...

    There are a couple of pretty good pictures of the back side of a DuraAce rear adjuster here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RIGHT-Shimano-Dura-Ace-STI-Downtube-Shifter-Cable-Stop-Tension-Adjuster-CURVED/324340256819?hash=item4b842f9033:g:vp0AAOSwcqxfhDEW I believe that they are flat enough on the...

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    That's a good question. I have 7 speed Shimano bar end shifters on my 1985 ST400 but I don't remember what I used for down tube cable adjusters. I'm sure that they aren't anything Cannondale specific. I am guessing that they are standard Shimano. I believe the Shimano ones are made with the...

    Kit List update

    Are all those parts available? Some links are not working. When I select Coda 901-900 hub and click Go I am directed to the vintagecannondale home page.

    Remake of my SR 600

    Depends on how you define modern. Deda, Nitto, Cinelli, and Soma still make 26.0 clamp quill stems, and several additional manufacturers make threadless with 26.0 clamp. I don't think Cinelli still makes 26.4 clamp size but there are plenty of used ones around. The bar I linked is 26.4 but it...

    1986 bare aluminum frame 58cm

    As a bare frame or a complete bike? Would need some component information to come up with a figure on the bike.

    Remake of my SR 600

    Bike looks great. I have the Drop In bars on a couple of my bikes, including my 1992 R1000. I bought one along with a Drop Liteflite when Nashbar closed them out. Should have bought them all as they were under $20...

    It would require some custom machining, but you could have a quill adapter made to lengthen the steerer. Essentially it would be the same thing as the adapters that allow you to put a threadless stem on a threaded fork, but the OD of the top section would be 1 1/4", the same as the steerer...

    1990 SR900 with Campagnolo Athena

    I hope you win it. I'd like to have one but want at least a 58 cm, 60 preferred.

    Brian, check out the 1994 catalog. Killer Vs definitely had 1 1/4" threadless forks. I'm thinking 1994 was the first year for threadless and the last year for 1 1/4".

    1990 SR900 with Campagnolo Athena

    This bike looks like new. I'd love to have one but this one is 2 sizes too small for me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-56cm-1990-Cannondale-SR900-Road-Racing-Bike-Campagnolo-Athena-VGC/174476963791?hash=item289fa32fcf:g:VyMAAOSws0tfhL77

    1993 R2000 2.8 Road Bike with Dura Ace

    I bought a 1992 R1000 a few years back in similar condition and was happy to pay a bit over $500 for it. Top of the 1992 road line, same frame and fork but the (perhaps) more collectible Mavic 8 speed indexed build. Beautiful bike with a very desirable build. I'd love to have it in the...

    Sounds like a great bike. Did you find a later threadless fork? I think 1994 may have been the only year for threadless 1 1/4" steerers.

    Those Record/Wolber wheels would do the job nicely but I think they are a bit overpriced.

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    A great buy for $75. I paid twice that for a 1985 ST400 in great mechanical shape, but has paint scrapes. I think these make great gravel bikes. Usually don't have low enough gearing but that's not too difficult to address. You could probably go to 700C x 35 mm or possibly 38 mm depending on...

    1983 Cannondale ST500 - Tires and ??

    Nice find. I have one that's the same color. I bought it as a frameset and built it with mostly vintage SunTour components. I used tubular rims and 35? mm Tufo tires with diamond tread. I had some good pictures of it but lost them when hard drive died. As for 27" tires, there aren't many...

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    I don't know much about the full suspension models as my Cannondale MTBs have all been either rigid or Headshok models. Hopefully one of our members will be able to give advice if you come across a full suspension model.

    Hi, could anyone help pls identify?

    Don't hesitate to post about anything you may be interested in buying in the future. Assuming that you are looking for a front suspension MTB, I'd be looking out for F series Cannondales from the mid 1990s through mid 2000s.
