Need help identifying newly aquired Cannondale...
Here is a link to the slideshow. Can take a few seconds to load but is fairly straightforward once it is up and running. Sorry about the slideshow guys but this connection is slow and is the only option I really have right now to share the pictures so bear with me. The slideshow contains a dozen or so various pictures of the bike and its components.

So I was just given this cannondale. It was partially dissassembled. No idea on year or what it is. Fairly lightweight, suntour downtube shifters, suntour sprint front and rear derailleurs, seven speed rear with double front crank. Crank is a Suntour superbee pro. Cinelli handlebar stem. Has Coda and ALCOA logos on the frame. The wheels seem of good quality and are very lightweight. I threw a set of alex 450's on that had tires mounted for the pics, but there is a picture of the wheels that came with it in the slideshow also. The original wheels have the italian flag colors in a ring around where the tire tube stem pokes through the rim.
It has stampings that have the olympic rings with some italian scripting on one side of the handlebars and a "3 TTT" stamping on the other side. I tried to take a picture of them which is also in the slideshow but I don't know how well you guys can see them.
What is the bike? What do the handlebar stampings indicate? What should I do with it? Bike is in very good shape and is pretty cool.
Here is the serial number from the bottom of the frame:
60072186168
All info you guys can provide on this thing is appreciated!

Looks like a late 80s 3.0 Criterium series to me. The seat stays going all the way to the back end of the chain stays says its a criterium series. It looks like it has the raised cannondale name on the top tube still and someone has then added the cannondale decal on the down tube. The (factory) dents in the chain stays to clear the crank arms were done more subtly on the newer (90s) 3.0 frames. There is a FAQ around somewhere which will tell you the year from some of the digits on the serial number (doesn't work on every model though).
Hopefully thats not too far wrong (memories are fading on these old horses). My friends and I owned a few of these bikes back in the day and they were awesome. Many of them are still going strong today.
