Black stem is an Origin8 piece from Niagara. I bet they still sell them. Decals came from the vinatge cannondale site, I think. One may still be able to special order them in gold.

Cannondale frames are getting harder to find and more expensive, plus you can't find the top tube cable guides any more. What a shame, I made a lot of people very happy with those SR and ST bikes...
Since powdercoat is out of the question for me I'm looking at a media blast on the frame and repaint.

Is there a paint system you would recommend? Why did the early bikes have paint chip issues?
