Hello everyone, finally i registered at this site, because a member of the german forum IBC* pointed me to one thread over here (*a site where i´m active since 2007). Because i found no special place to introduce myself, i will combine it with some pics of my Cannondale SM 2000 in absolutely mint condition. I´m the first owner of the bike, initially bought it to build myself a nice and light commuter bike for my transportational needs in Münster, but when this beauty was rolled out of the work shop half built up and the metallic glitter of the paint job dazzled my eyes it was almost instantaneously obvious, that this bike would never see a life as a "normal" street bike. 
One month later i bought a Specialized Hard Rock cruz for that purpose.
Now some pics:
some years ago with the original saddle and skins:
edit, just noticed, that i almost totally forgot to tell you something about my person. I´m 42 years old and i (i guess like a lot of you folks) was infected by the MTB virus during my last years in school in the ending eighties. Another factor, which contributed to my affiliation with MTB and bike technologies in a broader sense, was the town where i lived from 1990 till 2004 - Münster, the unofficial german bicycle capital.
