I saw that bike on CL and emailed the owner. Unfortunately it's too large for me. I did do some digging around. The owner stated it's a '95 T400. If you go to
www.vintagecannondale.com and look at their catalogs there is no such animal as a T400. I went back all the way to '85 and couldn't find a reference to this model.
You can view the '95 catalog here at this
link. You can see the only two models offered that year are the T1000 and T700 on pages 35 & 36. Neither of their touring models for that year come in red. However if you keep flipping through the catalog to page 46 you come across the R400 and R300. The R400 comes in "Viper Red" and I think the bike is either a R300 or R400, more likely an R400.
I can't quite match the wheels or hubs to anything in the catalog so I suspect they're not original to the bike. The rest of the components seem to be inline with the R400.
