For sale is my aged but still useable M600 Cannondale, until i went full suss about 7 years ago this was my regular ride, i am unlikely to use in anger again as my body doesnt really like being battered by hardtails anymore and having a clearout of old kit and decided she has to go to a new home. I bought it in 1993 with my student loan, its my first 'real' mtb.
Its a bit of a mix of parts, highlights:
M600 frame (pre-CAD), cantelever rear dropouts +original pepperoni forks thrown in (these have had little use as i ran suspension shortly after buying it - RShox Judy XC - which died a while ago).
2002 Marzzochi bomber forks - a bit long for the frame , but work fine. But dont 'belong on the bike, later upgrade.
Early Hope Ti rear hub - circa 1995?, on mavic xm517 - never had to replace bearings - so this may present a challenge to change - but they still run true.
The rest of the parts are all useable but not really that relevant from a 'retro' viewpoint.
Tyres - larsen TT
crank - 1/2 FSA gold anodised (second part included), other side is deore, square taper fitment - if i recall i replaced to eliminate a squeak, so might not be that much use.
Seatpost is original and nice and free in the frame - not seized in as with so many bikes this age.
Front mech - original
rear mech - more recent shimano LX - forget how old
Brakes - early V brakes - so dont 'belong' on the bike, but might suit a more recent model.
XT 8 speed rapidfire shifters - circa 2000? (guessing)
Oh one more thing, the rims are a bit concave so may need rebuilding if you wanted to ride in anything other than dry weather
Anything you want to know just ask, i will see if i can a) remember or b) go look and find out.
thanks for looking.
Matt
