1993 Cannondale M800 BOTE

So I decided to roll the dice and build the wheel myself, borrowed a buddyā€™s truing stand. I found a youtube video I liked and really took my time. I took stephanā€™s advice and made sure the spokes were attached to the flanges the same as a previous build.

Overall Iā€™m very pleased with the outcome. Iā€™ve been out for a ride around the block a few times, hopped off a curb, took a half dozen bunny hops and forced a high torque pedal going up a hill in a high gear. Checked the wheel afterward and it remained true, no odd noises came from the wheel so I think Iā€™m good to go šŸ˜

I plan to enter my BOTE in the American BOTM this month, figured this is a good time to share the current build.

Couple changes are swapping the cranks from Cooks to RF, Cooks needed to go to the Merlin and I actually think the Turbines suit the build quite well, Ringle skewers to go with the hubs, also made a custom front brake hanger noodle using a V brake noodle, think it looks much better

Looking great, good luck with the entry. Am still on my M800 build.
 
Such a cool looking bike and great choice to go the polished route.

There was a Cannondale of this generation on ebay recently, low starting price and no bids. Crazy how much bike these are for the money. I remember really wanting one back in the day in the black and red combo.

Love it, well done.
