Hit the garage sales this am and ran across a Cannondale SR800. 6 speed free wheel, suntour group (didn't look close enough to verify which group - dumb move!) Mavic rims/suntour hubs, quill stem (I think 3T) Color is a very sun faded pink.
Owner had a sign on it "high end Tri-bike." - Uh, no, someone added a Scott clip-on and a forward angled seatpost with a Selle Flite. So I'm thinking, ok it's a modified old road bike that someone thinks is worth a small fortune and moved on.
Back home at lunch I did the web research and believe I'm looking at an '86 SR800 (only year I found for the "coral" color and in '87 the SR800 went Shimano.) Looking at the specs from this '86 catalogue (OH MY!) tells me I should maybe go take another look? http://sanaandterry.com/cannondale/year/1986/1986.pdf Page 10 has the specs, pg 11 a pic.
I'm thinking I'll go back and look closer to verify: Mavic GP4 tubbs? Superbe Pro? CroMo fork (before the forks went alum?) If the components, ser# year all check out, Can you guys give me your thoughts on this bike?
Thanks!
