serial number should tell you -vintage cannondale to decipher

id say 92/93 tho

 

[Woodyuk]

thanks I was thinking the same maybe 92/93...
I will check serial number later

That one is a 94. The P-bone fork isnt original though, should be a pepperoni

Indeed '94.
Should match with purple bits & parts.
Nice bike!

Perfect thanks so 1994 that will help with fitting the parts
and correct it does have originally pepperoni forks which I still have. Just can not decide if to keep the P Bones or put the pepperoni forks bak on the frame ?? :roll:

pepperonis give a more compliant ride imo
the p-bones are rigid as hell

But I think the P Bones look a hell of a lot nicer - maybe get them sprayed up to match the frame?

Was thinking about getting the frame and Pbones sprayed white but still can not decide if too keep original colour and pepperonis??
