Beauty of the Beast

[s16206]

Hi Guys,

Here is my new project, a 92' Cannondale M800 "Beast of the East".
I found this one in very good conditions and price.
Everything is here like in the brochure, even the straps on the pedals and the Panaracer !
Just the bar ends are too much (and the bottle cage...)

I will probably just put some slick tires to use the bike as a commuter. But all the rest will stay like this.

I just need to clean and check everything. New cables, chain and cassette. For the rear brake I will see.

Some pictures before starting.

Great find. Always liked the look of this vintage.

The bike is finished ! I'm very happy with the result. As expected, the bike was in very good condition.
Stiff and responsive, thumbies work very well. I forgot how nice it was to change gears like that !
I use this bike for commuting by sunny weather, that's why I put the slick tires.

Here some pictures :
