Basics
The Cannondale R400 is a road bike 60 cm in size. A classic for bike restorers as it is no longer made and has a good frame.
Frame
The frame is 6061 T6 aluminum, tungsten gas-welded to keep the weight low by eliminating filler metal. The fork is a unicrown aluminum Cannondale Slice Si, with no rear shock. The profile follows the thick, hollow-tube look popularized by this early version with the big down tube.
Wheels
The R400 has 700 by 23c Hutchinson Flash tires on Mavic Mach 1 CFX 32-hole rims. The hubs were Shimano 3300s with DT stainless steel 15-gauge straight-gauge spokes with brass nipples.
Components
The brakes are Cannondale’s own Delta brakes with Shimano Sora STI levers. Shimano also contributed the derailleurs — the FD 2203 in the front, I replaced the original Sora GS in the back. The crankset is Truvativ Touro A1 with 30/42/52 teeth with a half-inch by 3/32-inch chain and eight-speed, 12-26 teeth cogs. The Cinelli Altera handlebars are mounted on the original stem. The headset was a 1 1/8-inch threadless Cane Creek S-2.
She is well used and well loved, and is in working order. A great frame and good components.
Postage includes the cost of a bike box.
