Cannondale SR500 Team Crest

If the frame was 8/9 speed originally, it will work

you might be in luck at some point. i'm planning on selling this when i get the funds for a carbon frame, this one is currently too small for me

DIBS! Whats the size for the SR500? I mean ill just take the frame =)

its 53 cm, measured c-t-c, or 54 cm when measured c-t-t. i'd be selling the frameset, so no worries.

most excellent!!

I've got second dibs if you haven't already sold it

It's working fine for me. the seatstays were actually farther apart than the old 126mm spaced wheel, so it only spread about 1mm when i finally put the new wheel on. it should be fine, its only 4mms, and aluminum will flex, just don't coldset it, that will apply too much force and could compromise the frame.

Just posted a few pix of my team bike

i never knew they came with white crank arms, i don't think they did. i never read about that, maybe it was something special. are you the original owner? regarding selling, you should post pictures so anybody who's interested can take a look before buying. also i'd like to see it myself.

I just found this site tonight because I was looking to see if there was anyone with a bike like this and Yahoo led me here.
I will get the bike down, clean it up and take some pictures to post.

I will have to get it out of the rafters in the Garage. I just went out and verified it has the white cranks. The neck has something like Neiko (not positive, it is dark out there) it is blue. The bars are wrapped in a color matched blue tape. The power train is Shimano 105.
I am the second owner, the original owner is deceased.
I have never ridden the bike other than around the block a few times. It has been in my possession since 1993 and it has always been stored in Southern California. I got it as an investment because I love Cannondale bikes and this one was the most unusual I had ever seen. I was told that it was the limited production version of the bikes Cannondale built for the 1988 US Olympic Bicycling team. Sponsors decals include Tang, Reynolds Aluminum, and of course Crest.

I have no idea what it is worth today, I paid 0 for it in '93

thats sounds pretty much the same as mine. they came with full 105, blue nitto stem, vetta seat and handle bar rap. and you heard correct about the history and its use. there were about 300 made for the floor models, which is what i have, and what you most likely have. i got mine for about 400, so i'd say around there, but probably more due to condition and originality.

yeah i really love it. although i won't be keeping it completely original, i'll be upgrading to 07/08 campy centaur and stripping it of its vitange 105. i feel kinda bad, but the modern components will be a lot nicer i think. i already have the brakes and they're great.

don't worry though, i won't be getting rid of it anytime soon, nor will it be converted to fixed.

seriously? thats your best insult? thanks for wasting my time. at least i have a bike built up with quality parts and i'm not wasting a good track frame just so i can look cool and do some whip skids.

the 'brush off'...

haha thats pretty funny.
80's themes are great though, i really like the paint job on this bike.

It's always blown my mind that Cannondale "we're so subtle" Bicycles made this paint job.
