I recently got this Cannondale. I'm not sure if it's old enough to be considered a "classic" but when I took it to the shop today to get a new tube everyone who worked there said "Oh, an old Cannondale." Can anyone identify what the model is or when it was manufactured? I can post more pictures if needed. Thanks!

Hmm, many of the components look suspiciously like the Shimano 600EX gruppo I put on a Trek road bike in about '87; first of the SIS era. Def. look like 600EX pedals, and I think I can make out the "600" on the crank arm. Pre-aero brake levers put it at before 1990, I'd reckon. BTW, a drive-side photo has much more information / identification potential.

What do some of the components say? Labels on the rims? Seatpost?

Marginally-notables: no front brake; it looks like it was re-taped since the removal. Braze-ons for lowriders; where does that place it historically? Very little difference in chainring size; not sure what that indicates, if anything, wrt. identification. From the seat position, it was probably ridden by someone too small for it.
