Looking good. Nice to see someone finish a project. Mine just return my stares.

Looking good. That was the #16 hanger then? You might check around with Cannondale shops. Bet one of the older ones will have the cantilever studs.

I understand. I'm looking for a 1989 SM800 purely for sentimental reasons.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I'll keep a lookout on local craigslist for an M400.

Are you exclusively looking for that year and model? The M400 had the 3.8 series frame and a steel fork. The M500 and M900 had the lighter 2.8 series frame and a Pepperoni aluminum fork. The M900 weighed 3.5 pounds less than the M400. The older 3.0 series frames had virtually the same geometry.

I was thinking quill for some reason. Not sure if I have any 1 1/4" threadless stems.

I would guess a 20" would be right. Standover height on a 20" is 31.3" and the effective top tube length is 23.3" center to center, 23.8" actual. You might look around locally for other brands with similar dimensions that you can test ride and get a feel for the sizing. BWorks in STL has...

I haven't found any of the 5/16" threaded ones for sale. I'm wondering if I could run a 5/16" die over the M8 thread and make them work. M8 is only .003" larger in diameter than 5/16" and the thread pitch is pretty close. I will try running a die over an M8 bolt and see how it turns out. If...

I have at least one, an ITM Eclypse. Nice nickel plated tig welded steel stem. Would have to check but pretty sure that I have the road model on my 1999 R4000.

Depends on what made the mark. Soft cloth and some mineral spirits will clean up some marks. I would try some fine polishing compound next.

Did the 1992 replacement fork have a steel steerer? I'd guess they only tried AL steerers on 1 1/4" forks but don't know for sure. The only 1 1/4" bike I have is a 1993 M800 but I've never had the stem out to check the steerer. Guessing that it's steel, hope I can get around to checking it...

That looks like a great survivor. I have never used those shifters but the road versions of the Power Shifters work great. I would try to lube derailleurs well and make sure there's no excess cable friction and give it a ride or two before deciding to modify it. If you decide to modify, you...

That's interesting. I wouldn't have though that Cannondale made a threaded AL steerer tube. What size head tube does your 1992 bike have? Measure the diameter of the stem quill. 7/8" means it has a 1" head tube, 1" means it's 1 1/8", 1 1/8" means it has a 1 1/4" head tube. These are nominal...

I assume this is the part you mean. The threading is 5/16"-18 and is just under 10 mm long. The diameter of the round portion with the wrench flats is 10 mm and is 6 mm long, with flats for an 8 mm wrench. The barrel is 8 mm in diameter and 16.5 mm long. The internal thread is M6. Overall...

Did you ask if it was just the threaded forks or the Headshok forks as well? I have one of each that could be in that time frame. The Headshok fork almost certainly is but I can't find a serial number on the frame with the threaded fork. From the date range I'm guessing that it may only...

What year was your 1992 fork recalled? Do remember the reason for the recall? I have several 1991-1995 Pepperoni forks so would be interested to know where the problem area was. I would assume the 1994 fork is original if the paint matches the frame and the fork has the Pepperoni decal...

Thanks. They don't have any more of the shifter kits but I will check their other items.

What a find. That part's a pretty common request here as well as on other bike forums but the one you bought is the first factory replacement kit that I've seen. Pity that the seller doesn't have 50 of them.

I would think you could JB Weld the stud back in the boss. I'd saw the broken part off the stud so that it can thread into the boss a bit more. With the epoxy it should hold as long as you are careful not to tighten it to much. If that doesn't work you can order one of these...

I wish it was bigger as well. Well worth the price if I can get to IC in the next couple of weeks. Bob Mould and Rick Nielsen shows are on my calendar. I'm with you about UPS. They crushed a custom Serotta MTB that I bought on eBay. I got my money back but lost out on a one-off bike. UPS...
