Joel, I agree about the decals. The wheels were such a great deal from Nashbar over the winter, I couldn't resist. I didn't want to ruin the return if I didn't care for them. I'm going to ride it a few more times and then decide whether to peel the decals off or not. They will most likely go, because the wheels ride very well.

I'm trying to dredge up an old memory, IIRC the Silk Road's design had something to do with the Paris-Roubaix race, which is famous for it's sections of cobblestone roads. Rock Shox built the Ruby fork for the same race. Seems neither were able to race the P-R per UCI regulations. Correction sincerely welcomed.
The SRs were never popular in my area.

I'm not an expert about the Headshoks. Most of what I've learned is in the PDF catalogs, which are on line at
Vintage Cannondale.
The 1993 Catalog shows the MTB version of the Headshok, but the Silk Road Headshok does not seem to debut until 1995. That year the SR2000 and SR900 ran the Headshok. In 1996 there was the SR900 and SR500 (mine).
Apparently the Rock Shox was raced in P-R in '93 & '94.
Eventually, C-Dale did use them on the P-R, but I can't find out when. I'm not certain about the year of this Catalog page, but I'd guess 1999 or 2000.
