Frame: 1991 Cannondale SM800 "Beast of the East" in Black w/ Hunter Orange splatter Fork: Cannondale Pepperoni Headset: Tange 1" in black Stem: ControlStem with noodle in black Handlebar: Cannondale Competition TaperLite Grips: ESI Chunky in white Bar Ends: ControlStix in black Brakes: Shimano...

Unfortunately I did not. And Trek didn't have the frame weight listed separate in the catalog. Not any time soon. The tight, springy frame is a dream to ride. Soon, I'll be investing in some 1.5" Tioga City Slickers, and I have a Trek Sonic cycling computer, with cadence monitor. I also want to...

My friend Jay took probably the best photo of this bike recently, and I had to share it here. I recently installed a Nitto Albatross B352AA heat treated aluminum handlebar, and changed the grips from orange ODI to classic black Ritchey. I love this change, the ergonomics are so much more...

I just picked up this off of eBay, and I think it might work with Dia Compe 290/292 Bat Wing/Dog Leg levers. It appears to allow one lever to actuate two brake calipers via two individual cables. I have some 292 on my Humu, but I'm not in a position to remove the cockpit to test fit these bits...

I found another pair, bought off of eBay from a seller in Poland. These are silver, with a blue Wheeler logo. These are quickly becoming one of my favorite obscure items. I just love this clamp! I need spare parts for when I bash up the black ones on my Trek 990.

I took a long ride, partially through Forest Park, and stopped to get these nicely lit shots. Enjoy all the little details! Here, you can see where the previous owner of this Ti O-Beam seat post ground down the clamp, and it just so happens to help clear my Flite without touching the...

They are! I got them for a steal many years ago, probably not even $20 for the bar, and less than $50 for the seat post. The post was cut, and the clamp has been slightly modified by a bench grinder to clear a narrow saddle. I prefer them installed on this bike instead of hanging on a wall like...

Well, that was quick! I didn't anticipate sitting here and building out this bike this evening, or riding it just after midnight to work out the kinks. This bike rips! It is exactly as nimble and comfortable as I expected it to be. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I'll take lots of more...

Well, it's been a while since I updated this build thread. I haven't touched the bike since the last update, and barely rode it 10 miles. That ends soon. I have recently acquired these Campy Veloce 8x2 downtube shifters, and they will allow me to turn this bike into the flat bar bike I've...

Here is my projected build list: Frame: 1995 Kona Kilauea in Pearl White SN: F5110305 Fork: *Project Two Tripple Butted (need to trade my 16" for your 18") Optional Fork: Modified Judy DH in red with *Steed Springs and a *polished silver arch Headset: Kona Impact in silver Optional...

Here's what this exact bike looked like back in the mid 1990s!

Here is a photo from the original catalog, to show what it looked like. It looks like the only original parts are the handlebar, the rear brakes, the derailleurs, and the rear wheel. Luckily, it still has the seat post collar and cable guide, and I have a fork brake perch for this bike already...

I finally found one of my dream bikes! I recently bought a 1991 Scott Boulder from my friend Matt for $150, and I hadn't picked it up yet. On Friday evening, Matt showed me this bike listed on Facebook Marketpalce, and basically bought back the Scott so I could go buy this bike. The listing was...

Thank you all for the recent interest in the bike, and the kind words! I've spent a lot of time on this bike lately, and I've been taking it on lots of adventures. I'm proud to say that I haven't washed the bike since the last time I posted photos. It's definitely not living a life as a wall...

I installed a Gorilla Brake Beefer the other day, and swapped out the bottle cages for some black Elite Ciussi cages. I think I'm going to start riding this bike to the local Bike Polo games, and I might try my hand at playing. That is why I wanted stronger front brakes, and bottle cages...

I saw, I was just reading a thread from MuchAlohaNui about searching for neon parts, including those Tioga bits he bought from raidan73. I just hope no one else is looking for orange Tioga bits like I am! 😂

In case you want to get some complimenting accessories, here are some other Yellow Tioga things that I have been watching on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223469890564 https://www.ebay.com/itm/193476283749 I've been looking for all of these parts, even PowerClips, in Orange for my Trek 990.

I haven't touched it since last update. It's pretty much ready to be rebuilt, I'm just waiting to find matching paint for a frame restoration. I like to take my time with that part. I have found a less than perfect Cannondale branded TaperLite, and I'm still hunting for a ControlTech seatpost.

A nice shot I got last night, with this kick ass 2000 Kaboom. It has some sweet parts, including a pair of Kona chrome 3 piece cranks, a ControlTech stubby stem and riser bar, XT M739 V-brakes, a black P2, Chris King headset, Phil Wood hubs, and Maxxis Hookworm tires, a very nice alternative to...

Aw, snap...
