Andy Gilmour is a local, Tucson, legend/guru/greybeard type so if I ride the tour in November on one of this bikes I'm sure people will notice.
OTOH, my sister's race bike from the same era does not have the holes.

If your Cannondale a R900? The CADD alum frames from those years were wicked stiff. The earlier ones has a funky rear drop out pushing the frame shorter by about 1 cm making them super quick. I am not sure about the R series bikes, but my CADD3s had a slightly higher BB for pedaling around corners in the US style around the block crits. My first one was destroyed from a crash. Bought another for 380 bucks from the club. They were cheap throw away bikes for racing unlike a Ti or carbon frame that were in the 1-2000 range which was really popular then.
If I remember correctly, depending on the year, many of them came with a Slice fork which was mfg. by Time.
