I think I found it. Cannondale introduced the Killer V mountain bike series in 1994 that had the same v shaped top tube, but without the headshock of the Delta V. From the color, it would be a 1996 Killer V500. They retailed for $975, but really outside of C'Dale's light weight frame/fork combo, the rest of the components installed on it would not be much to write home about...standard alivio/coda fare, though deore lx rear derailleur. It looks to be in excellent shape.
