95 m900

Hey guys, I’m very new to the mtb world. Last week I noticed my neighbor had some bikes out at the curb waiting for the garbage truck or scrap man to come and pick up. One of them being a cannondale m900 in need of some love. I’ve been wanting a bike to ride around and follow my 3 year old on her tricycle so I rescued the old cannondale brought it up to the bike shop and a few days later she was ready to ride. They put new tires/tubes, grips, chain , seat along with a tune up. Here are some before and afters. Let me know anything I need to know about this cool old bike!

Does anyone know how to tell what size frame this is? It’s a 1995 m900

Measure the seatube to the top.
If it's 41cm then it's tiny, if it's 55 then it hugh
If it's in between it is either medium or large (50cm)

VintageCanadian website will get you lots of info.

That crank is probably worth a lot to someone.

The bike looks nice

Sorry, am I measuring it from the bottom bracket to the bottom of top tube?

From the centre of the bottom bracket, where the crank bolt is, to the top of the seat tube.

There will be a cannondale expert who can tell by eye etc.

(they give effective top tube, but that is harder to measure, or should I say describe how to measure.)

Maybe there is something on the website I mentioned.

Can anyone garner any info from this serial stamp?

Hey guys just an update I found out the frame is a size small. No wonder why I look like an ogre riding it haha. I still think it’s a cool bike and will either keep it for my wife to ride or try to sell it or trade it to get myself something that fits better to my size
