3.0 Series with 26" wheel

[Vincent]

Hello friends,
Could you help telling me the model and date of manufacture of this Cannondale mountain bike.
I check the serial number but doesn't follow the format on this website.
SN# 16121688033

I took a lot of pictures, and have them in icloud or googledrive, but when I tried to insert the links, they're broken. Could you show me how to post pictures here.

Thank you.
Vincent.

Sounds like you have a 16" frame, the 33rd built on December 16, 1988. It would be a 1989 model. Color should ID the model, though two models were painted red that year.

I always upload images from my computer, so not sure why you are having trouble linking them.

Thanks, I was able figuring out loading the images

Looks to be a fairly original 1989 SM400. I can't see anything that's not original outside of tires, saddle, pedals, and bar ends.

Thank you very much for your time

Happy to help. Bike looks to be in nice condition other than the paint loss from chain slap.
