2004 Bad boy

Very nice example. Just needs to be L/XL frame size.

I thought that the frame sold pretty well. Were you happy with what it brought?

I checked my 1999 XR800 which has Campagnolo Vento wheels and 35 mm Kenda Small Block Eight tires. The tires measure about 33 mm and there is 5-6 mm clearance at the chainstays. My advise would be to stick to 35mm tires for these frames unless you know for a fact that the tire you are...

It's good to know about Ten Tusscher as the shop is still selling Cannondale. Those long time dealers are getting scarce and are a good place to start looking for obsolete parts and special tools. If you visit them you might inquire about the 5/16 inch threaded cantilever studs for the old...

Your guess sounds likely. It can't be a 1997 model as 1996 was the last year for the 2.8 frames. If lower end, it would have come with an AL fork. The R600 and above had carbon forks. Great looking bike and Ultegra 6503 is nice stuff.

Are you referring to XR800/Cyclocross models? I think that I have 35 mm tires on one of mine. I will try to check the width and clearance tonight.

Interesting bike. You might check the serial number for build date. If you have the "version 2" serial number it will also give you the dropout spacing. In 1991, Ultegra was 7 speed and only down tube shifters were available. In 1992 it changed to 8 speed and STI was available. Your frame...

2003 Jekyll decal style. Also note that in the 2003 catalog, the only bikes shown with the bend in the top tube are Feminine 400 and 500. Not sure if the bent TT was specific to them or a feature of certain sizes.

2002 Jekyll decal style.

Patrick, you may want to shoot Marco a PM.

Glad to hear that you went ahead with the project. Thanks for saving one.

Yes, the XR800 was the CX model at the time. The XS800 had Headshok front suspension but was otherwise the same. Wheels are Campagnolo Khamsin. There was a CX version of the next level up Scirocco wheels but I don't know how it differed from the road version. I assume the rim was slightly...

I didn't realize that baking temp for powder coat was that hot. I should look into the heat treatment process for 6061 and see what the critical factors are. Paint generally looks nicer anyway as far as I'm concerned, but I know some folks really like their powder coat results from places...

Welcome to the forum. I'm pretty sure that 1998 was the first year for the XR800 and XS800. They were Viper Red that year. Cannondale may have made some CX frames before that for team members. Here's my 1999 XR800. I'd love to find the same frame in 60 cm size, or even better a 60 cm XS...

All except the R400 I think. It had a threaded fork and a quill stem. Pretty sure it had a 1" head tube.

Nice job of painting the bar and stem. Are you getting wet paint or powdercoat on the frame?

Black ones were made. I would check with Craig at Mendon CycleSmith.

Checking on the stem with friend in STL.

Pretty sweet 1st Cannondale.
