cannondale sr300 question

dad25kids said:

I'm considering purchasing a used Cannondale SR300 but wanted some input.
1) I wondered what year(s) that model was made
2) Is it a decent bike for a beginning road bike?
3) If it is stock and in excellent cond. - what would be a fair price?

Thank you for your help!

I don't know what year it is, but I bought mine last year off ebay from a guy who was selling it for a friend of his who had left it in his garage for years and years. After I regreased all the bearings, it is like new. I love that bike. It's a great bike. It's a little heavier than the brand new models at 22 lbs (10 kg), but it feels light to me. My guess is that it's a mid 1980's model, but I'm doing a websearch right now. Maybe I'll come up with the straight story. I'll let you know if I do.

I found a few for sale ads which are probably out of date now. I couldn't find any info on this particular model listing the date it was made. Oh, well. It's a good bike.
