I have owned this F2000 since 1998 (frame serial 10/1997). I got it paid by the insurance company after my 1994 M600 was stolen. More on the M600 at 1994 M600 heritage build. Pretty much at that time I more or less quit mountain biking, and started other things. It served me as a commuter to university, and other places, as I could not afford a car. Tried also selling it, luckily with no success. To me it felt first a bit soulless after the M600 I had built myself. Years went by, and also decades with some commuter use. At around 2015 I wanted to do some mountain biking again so I overhauled the bike and the headshok and started doing some riding with it. Eventually bought a modern all mountain FS bike, but fell in love with vintage bikes, also started building this bike for easier trails and gravel roads. I just do not like how the modern bikes ride on easy terrain single tracks. I prefer that I have to do some work myself. So now I have upgraded it with RaceFace crankset, short Amoeba stem, DEAN seatpost, Titec bars, red Middleburn wheelset, red Flite Ti seat etc. Now it’s fiery, overbuilt, stickered like a Ferrari F1 race car (or Volvo Cannondale), shouting other competitors: "see you when I'm lapping and you eat my dust!". Not apologizing a thing. And now I love it.
