80's Cannondale - Identify and/or help fix

[alex.bouloy@gmail.com]

The number on the bottom bracket is CC14033, any ideas on the model,
type and year? Also, I've included some links to pics of the frame.
A piece of the frame has broken off and I'm looking for ideas on how
to fix it. The piece that broke off is where an adjusting screw for
the rear derailleur sits. I'd REALLY like to get this bike back on
the road and any help would be appreciated. This was my first bike
and I loved the way it felt.

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'd build up a little tab for the b-screw to rest on with some JB
Weld. Now hold my beer and watch THIS!...

That's an annoying little problem, isn't it? I don't think that
there's enough material between the broken bit and the derr mount to
tap in a screw or something.

Would a dept store style derr, which slips between the frame and axle
nut (or, in your case, QR), be sacrilege? Would suggesting a Nexus 8
be overkill?

Cannondale has a replacement hanger available. You hack saw off the
old hanger, you drill a new hole, tap it, bolt the new hanger on. Alan
at REI in Atlanta had one for me a couple of years ago.

Or you could get a welder to tig a bit of fresh aluminum

You can grind and file a suitably sized washer. You want to shape it
into a 'fat comma with a small tail' to form a new "claw" (the part
that broke off). Put the RD mounting bolt through the washer before
threading it into the hanger. Adjust the position of the newclaw to
match the old one (or whatever position gives the best shifting).
Simple, cheap and durable.

"CC" indicates 1985. Maybe an SR 500? See

Remove FD and RD, shifters, and run it as a SS.

Call Cannondale, they can give you exact number. Does look like mid-
80s. 126mm spacing in the rear perhaps? SR300 or SR500 ?

NOICE!!! Perhaps I'll go the single speed route. Never had one
before. I'll try Ozark's suggestion with the washer first to see if
that'll do the trick. I'll let ya'll know how things went.

Thanks for everyone's response. Here's Cannondale's official
response:

"Thanks for the mail and for your interest in Cannondale products.
This bike is a 1985 model. Unfortunately, this bike cannot be repaired
because these frames did not have replaceable derailleur hangers. You
cannot have the bike re-welded or repaired in any way. I'm sorry that
we aren't able to help you further."

Not very imaginative.

"You cannot have the bike re-welded or repaired in any way. "

A little voice-o-God-y, perhaps? Did they also tell you to honor your
muthah and fathah?

It will work, I've used this fix several times for different difficult
situations, including old-fashioned hangers that aren't "index
compatible (e.g., Huret dropouts).

You will need to readjust the RD limit screws to compensate for the
thickness of the washer.

Maybe they do not make a repair kit now but they did and I used it. It
had an official Cannondale part number on it. I would try the washer
thing or I would take it to my friend the welder. He can weld anything
I take by his shop.

I did a bit of googling. http://wheelsmfg.com/p_derkit3.htm the kit I
got looked sort of like the top two. I cut off the old hanger. One of
the holes was already there and tapped. The second hole I drilled and
tapped. So maybe it was not an official Cannondale kit. I may stop by
REI to ask Allan if he remembers the kit.

That sort of looks like it but I fixed the bike two years ago and my
memory might be wrong. If I wanted to drive 30 miles to look at the
old bike I could take a picture.
