The SR 900 was Cannondale's top model for 1985, originally retailing for $995. It looks entirely original except for the seat, which for a bike of this age is pretty rare. Seems to be in pretty good shape except for paint chips. The Cannondale paint from this era seems especially prone to chipping, but on the bright side the gloss is pretty easy to cover with stuff like nail polish. The cranks are super record, the shifters and deraillers are NR, and the bars are Cinelli. Vintage Cannondale road bikes always run high, and they're nice rides. It's not unusual to see entry level Cannondales at $300 so this should get snapped up as a deal so someone doesn't part it out. Just by way of example there is an '85 SR 600 with Shimano Acera on it for $25 more two listings down from this one.

1985 Cannondale Tourer
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/bik/3852744097.html
58cm cannondale sport touring - $260 (clifton heights)
Has been in garage for a long time collecting dust.
260 firm.
Some light rust on wheels.
Aluminum frame.
I believe this to be a 1985 ST500 which in 1985 was Cannondales top tourer, but in 1986 would be the middle grade. I personally prefer this iteration of Cannondale styling with the smaller font and the charcoal rather than gloss black paint. Originally this was a nicely outfitted bike and the owner has made some nice upgrades. Bar end shifters and a high rise stem chief among them, but I suspect the original 27 inch rims may have also been replaced with 700c, but that's a hunch. The Sugino cranks are original, and hopefully the rear derailer is too. The Huret Duopar might strike some people as fit for replacement, but it had a really good reputation for long cage derailers in that period. A nice bike and reasonably priced considering the shifters probably ran about $80 on their own. Snap it up.
