Finding original parts list

[ScottS]

As the title suggests I'm trying to find out what would have been the orginal spec for a bike I have recently bought -

It's (I believe) a late 90s? Cannondale CAD3 Saeco, this is the listing posted by the seller https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=113512

I'm not sure how to go about finding out what parts are original and what has been swapped around over the years, any suggestions?

Well you could try contacting Cannondale direct?

Re:

Would they even be remotely interested in helping with a 20 year old product?

Excellent, a primary source for research - should be quite authoritative

Rk.

I had a cursory look (10 mins max) the CAAD3 Saeco looks to be based on the 1998 R4000. In 99 it was the R5000 CAAD4. See pic below, it looks like DA7700 9 speed with Spinergy wheels

Exactly what I was after, will be bookmarking that page.

Thank you very much, now I just have to justify Dura-Ace, the Spinergy wheels may not like my 100kg frame so will look for something less flexible.

Thanks
