Wow, pretty darn light for a single butted frame of this size. What´s the weight of the fork?

Looks nice! One tip regarding the tyres; there´s a british company that has a new skinwall model for sale. They´re 2.35 inchers and would probably fit the RockHopper nicely. http://halorims.co.uk/products-details. ... pe=all&c=P

Nice frame! I like such details as the cable stops brazed on the headtube.

The photos don´t reflect the impression you get in person. In reality the blue is much darker with a tint of lavender than in these pics made with a flashlight.

Exactly what i was thinking about...! Nice one for bike-heads like us. :D

ohh, sh*t.

I think they´re as useless as every pulley wheels with sealed precision industrial ball bearings fitted to an outer cog. Did your wheels loose the sealing rings or were those damaged? Maybe you should look after that. I have a pair of Tacx Delrin pulley wheels which are in part time use...

I love the aqua fade paint job! Have fun restoring this lovely FAT. :)

Is that a set of Suntour XC II pedals you´re using there?! :shock: Are you aware of the most recent prices paid for those pedals and how easily they can be detached from the crank? I would go with some cheaper and more unobtrusive ones on a commuter like Sakae Low-Fat or something like that...

I really like the copious use of Suntour parts. I think, every bike deserves some of them. :)

As we´re writing a pair of New Panaracer Timbuk II re-issues is on it´s way to my flat. Can´t wait to get my hands on those... :D

wow.......quadruple posting....... big things are going to happen. :D

What an awesome bike! Deserves a free bump... :D

Now, when we´re at it - i remember two other great paint schemes from Cannondale i saw back in the early nineties. Unfortunately i had no camera with me when i saw these bikes in a show room of a bike shop in Münster, i just had some stencils and a piece of paper with me.... :D First...

I totaly agree. The SM 1000 paint job is one of the most attractive ones C´dale has EVER made. The deepness of the blue is unrivalled. I remember a pal of mine back in the nineties - he used an SM 1000 with this colour scheme as a street/town bike in Münster - North Rhine/Westphalia ...... later...

Well, i thinks that´s one of the circumstances that make dealing with older bicycles so ambitious and puzzling. If someone could combine every part from any period of mountain biking then literally everybody with a slight amount of taste and money could build up a "retro" ride. But maybe...

My all-times-fav; Rocky Mountain Blizzard 1990

That´s so difficult about elucidating the history of SunTour, the years after 1993. Artifacts even more sparse than from the years before when compared with Shimano´s heritage. It almost seems like exploring terra incognita or archaeology to me. :) Sometimes in the forums i frequent photos of...

*gosh*......Had a look in my copy of Sutherland´s and it also appears there. Could be be a typo i suppose....:?: Yep, i try my very best.... :D

What are those specs in the third row? 8 speed non-MD was only available for the Superbe and SL road race group and those hubs had an overlocknut dimension of 126 or 130 mm iirc.
