86 Cannondale ST400
Just picked up this 1986 ST400 for $60. I'm 6'3", so the 25" frame was a must. It came with front & rear Jandd racks (front low-rider rack installed incorrectly by the seller), a triple Biopace crankset, Slotted Shimano 600 levers (no hoods, of course), calipers, & front & rear derailleurs, Sun Mistral Rims laced to sealed bearing 600 hubs. It also has a set of 9 speed Dura-Ace bar-end shifters installed, which doesn't make much sense considering the 6 speed freewheel. Paint is an 8/10. It will need all new consumables as well as the Suntour Bar Cons sitting in the parts bin. I've had a few of these pass through my hands, both the caliper ST version & the later canti T600, T700, & T1000. But this is the 1st 25" so it will be a keeper, at least for a while. None of the bits on this bike came stock on the 86 ST400, so I'm assuming this was originally purchased as a frame.

Nice! I had one of these, was easy to do a 700 conversion with "modern" 9 speed group and long reach calipers.

You did great. You'll be very happy.
I remember when the Cannondale bikes came out in 1983. A bike shop owner invited me to test ride it. I was impressed.
