1993 Cannondale M800 ”Beast of the East” build thread.

Yeti (repro) grips installed. Love the rough and feminine appearance on this one. And the yellow bottle cage is there to stay.

She is old, she has scars, but still she is beautiful. The Beastess of the East.

Thanks a lot. There was a certain character in the bike that lead the choises all the way.

As the last resort to (not to) win the BotM, changed the worn Tange headset to XTR HP-M902 and the Force 40+ cams to aluminium ones (per -93 catalogue). Like the gray parts better on this bike, as the Cannondale text is also gray.
