I was able to buy a started project from a friend in the hobby, as he had to reduce the number of bikes. The 1995 M2000 is the last fully rigid flagship model, as the top of the rigid range was M900 after this. Seems to be fairly rare bike, as supposingly sales turned towards F-models in the mid 90's.
The bike had almost all original catalogue spec parts, so the catalogue was the way to follow. No updates or tuning parts... except for the pedals that were missing. The catalogue Onza HO:s are not SPD-compatible, so I did put 747s (as all my pedals are 535/747). Saddle was changed to similar but one in better shape, rear cassette, chain, some cables and housings replaced and new canti bolt washers installed. Wheel QR's were changed to XT (from some no-name items) and broken seat collar qr replaced with a correct one. The broken cable doughnuts were glued intact and some minor touch-up painting done. The still original tires and rims were cleaned.
The factory specced M2000 (1995) is very understated, even shy. Beautifully painted frame build with featherweight components to supposingly the skinniest aluminium vintage Cannondale ever at catalogue weight of ~10 kg. It almost flies away.
