Cannondale M800 Comp - Beast of the East... ;)

[remy b]

Hi!

I haven't posted my good old 'Dale yet, so here it is : a light and very lively bike that really looks cool...



I ordered the original bike directly from Cannondale US, as it was not available in Europe then.
Size M / 17, with the original P-Bone forks.
PlanetX stem & bars.
The brakes are either vintage DiaCompe or Tektro Veeeez.



One of my favourite brands...



Libor Karas rode that very frame, hence the limited edition...



I nearly immediately SSed it (44*19 at the moment : a rather versatile bracket - 42*18 doesn't require a chain tensioner, but my 42 ring is has passed away...).



I either ride it with vintage IRC Pirannah Pros...


Or with slick tires for that cool cruiser style (and they have those reflctive stripes that make you look like a real star!!!).


As the sun is still shining, I think I'll go for a ride along the river...


Cheers,

Rémy

Actually I did hesitate between a very low-profile black and that outrageously flashy yellow...

The bike has hed a couple of variations since I got it, including a road configuration for a triathlon, in the good ol' days!

Cheers,

Rémy

Nice. Always like a good Beast!

Those >'97 P-bones are cool. I just put one from a Beast on my wife's M500.

44*19 with slicks and ususally 44*21 off-road with this bike I mainly ride for cool rides...

Nice.

Really nice. P Bone forks are so good, criminally underrated when all anyone wants it seems is project 2s. I have some on my kili and love them.

Yellow is a great colour.
