What is the measurement of the seat tube center to center?

the fork tube is stamped 1998, so I think 7700 would be 'period correct'

Just wondering why this was given a steel fork, rather than carbon...?

Potential dibs

Just wondering why this was given a steel fork, rather than carbon...?

I would have thought aluminium, Cannondale being all 'advanced' with that material and whatnot

Potential dibs

potentially accepted. but if someone were to pm and pay me before you make up your mind...

Un-potential-dibs

I don't get it, you dibs & undibs within 5 minutes? Proves the worth of said system once again. Or do you mean your dibs is dibs not potential dibs? Oh well.. Just answered your pm anyway.

this frameset takes a 1" threaded headset
seatpost size 27.2mm

The fork is interesting, maybe in 1998 steel was viewed (or understood) as being better for soaking up road noise.

For no other reason than my own prejudice I would rather trust a steel fork of this age than a cf one.

I've never ridden a full aluminium f&f, but I imagine things could get bumpy with stiff wheels and 8.5 bar pressure in the tyres

About your inhibitions concerning cf, this aluminium/cf C4 frameset (now on ebay) with carbon fiber fork did just fine for me last year, vintage carbon, built up after 14 years :-)

I bloomin love this frame.

If this was the 64-66cm variety I'd be all over it.

Seen some delicious bikes built with this frame!

Nom nom nom. Tempted.

don't let me hold you back :-)

how come now so many people wants this frame all at once? where were you two weeks ago? are you all new members? you guys only look at the 1st page of classifieds/not use the search?

[edit] just curious, as I have many other bits for sale in threads now deeply buried in the classifieds page history [/edit]
