Trying to ID this Cannondale frame

[MCA4President]

Is anyone able to help me I'd this frame I have? The components aren't really any help as it's all M730 6 speed which on it's own is unusual. Also it appears to have been repaired just below the rear brake stud. Any information would be appreciated, though I appreciate there's very little to go on.

Is that B1-0301 the only numbers on it? Nothing under any of the other stays or the bb shell?

Should polish up nice

M2000 ?

Yeah, the B1-0301 is literally the only mark on it. Nothing on the BB shell.

That’s odd. I’ve seen them with similar numbering, but then there’s usually a longer number on the underside of the other stay

I'll take another look when I get home, but I did have a really good look. It's not impossible that I missed it mind you. I guess the serial number I do have will give no clue as to its year of manufacture. I imagine it's somewhere between 92-94.

"cantilever rear drop out" + mud cutter stays + 1" steerer + weld top seat tube (without collar) : I would say 91

really helpful thank you.

Has the left hand seat stay had a repair just under the canti mount? Looks like a weld has been semi flushed off, did they come like this?

So if we're '91 and we have full XT, then I think Retro Spud may be right in saying SM 2000. Shame it doesn't have the paint anymore.
