A shy 1995 Cannondale M2000 which reached its final iteration after a long restoration and customisation journey: - Optimised for fast gravel and road (who needs a modern ugly Gravel bike?) - 7,93 kg light - Cassette is 11-28 (reduced to 6 cogs), crank is 30/48 - Ultrafast Rene Herse Rat Trap...

My M2000 also reached the final iteration of its long customisation journey: - Optimised for fast gravel and road - 7,93 kg light - Cassette is 11-28 (reduced to 6 cogs), crank is 30/48 - Ultrafast Rene Herse Rat Trap Pass tires The ultimate joy to ride :)

For me, it's the needle in the haystack: the 1990 Cannondale SM Omega:

Thank you! I also found this article on the topic of high pivot designs, interesting how fashion "returns" :)

Beautiful refurbishment and bike :) And again we seem to mirror our tastes in bikes @Vesatoro :) You mentioned you notice slack in the rear swingarm on bigger bumps on the old high-pivor swingarms. Could you explain what you mean, especially compared to the low-pivot swingarms from 1996 onwards?

Hello everyone, For a retro bike (Cannondale Super V), I am looking for a shock (rear shock) with the following specifications: Eye-to-eye installation length: 135-140 mm Bushing width: 22 mm Air/Oil spring (as light as possible) Ideally with lockout or Pro Pedal. Unfortunately, despite the...

What a great, value adding post - thank you!

Snapshots during the maiden voyage:

The status so far: The bike still lacks the caps for the bottom bracket bolts and the hite-rite device, which will be added after the test rides I am planning to perform over the next week(s). Overall, a beautiful bike, and the paint job with the sparkling metallic is actually gorgeous. It...

It's time for the build. The goal was a original spec bike with some added colour. So I felt I needed to incorporate these outrageously colourful accessories: Ready for the assembly :) More later :)

Thank you :) Yes, I applied several layers of the primer, (miss) using it as a filler for the scratches on the aluminium tube, and sanded it down before using teh model paint. The way I did it was to mix the metallic blue base colour (I used two different colours of blue/metallic blue to...

It's time to treat the wounds: A good aluminium foundation and model colours are the way to go: First, treating the large chip on the down tube - right at the transition of the overlaid metallic paint, unfortunately: That worked: Then, the easier part: repairing the decal of the US...

Fully agreed! Well said! I have two of these M2000s, each one with a slightly different variation of this paint job. The best I could do to capture its magic:

The project is ready for restoration :)

Some of the vital parts arrived: straight from Texas, a very rare Cannondale 285 (Nitto) stem in the ultra rare Aluminum version - 120 long, and the absolutely perfect length for my usual reach: Also, the 91 XT shifters, the very first of their kind, cursed by design though, are here: They...

I have decided to build the first Cannondale M series MTB with Pepperoni fork - the 1990 SM2000. Came across a frame in decent condition with some major paint chips, planning to restore it :) Here's the frame - large chipping on the down tube, but thankfully no dent: The fork was much...

Great find! I am currently restoring exactly the same bike in one size smaller, coincidentally. The wheels were Wolber 18, and quite heavy: My bike also has quite a bit of paint chipping, and I am planning to restore the paint in these places with model paint. IF you plan to do so too, I'm...

Hello, For a Cannondale SM2000 1990 restauration project, I am looking for the according Cannondale 285 quil stem, either in steel (small weld) or aluminium (big weld) version: Its for this bike: If anyone has such stem, please let me know via PM :)

The best ever fully rigid Cannondale for sure ;) Can you perhaps share some information on the SRT 800 Grip Shift housings, or perhaps some pictures, even? They seem to be the smoky ones, not the clear ones. Do they have an item number, such as, on the later ones, SRT 800X-81 and SRT 800X-32...
