Show us your 700C ATB / MTB / Hybrid

[Neko]

My former 1992 Miyata Alumicross. This probably had no more than 10 miles on it. I committed the ultimate sin and parted it out, as my urge to tinker with things overpowered my (rather strong) will to keep it intact. Definitely regret it. This is right after purchase — I ditched the awful blue bar tape.

My last build.

I've found this thread after finishing my Koga Miyata Terraliner Carbolite (@Spankyfart post nr 29).
Since then I've rebuild a few more (post nr. 36, 77, 102, 120 and 131).
And then I bought a long neglected aluminium Cannondale which was carefully packed and sent to me for a whopping €40,- total!!
The only info about this specific model (SH600) at this blog was:

Thread 'Now something completely different! ; Cannondale SH600 2X2' https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/now-something-completely-different-cannondale-sh600-2x2.32214/

And now mine.
Resprayed, re-decalled (where some detailing was lost, see the tiretracks) and fitted with new 3D printed cableguides.
Red details .... ? And for the moment a yellow CODA seat (where I have a red-detailled Flite titanium still waiting for some shoe-polish).
The original LX parts do the job just fine.

I can finally start with a Marin Sausalito that desperately needs some color.

That is nice, I always have a lot of love for "some" 'dale models.
This looks to be one of them, €40,- ? Dayum..

As well as bumping this thread up, it has been an inspiration for temptation for something different, even though I like and have those early 90s steel 26ers , my actual first flat bar bike was a hybrid (hides behind sofa awaiting abuse)!

Anyway, this Claud Butler Legend appeared locally on the bay, and within my self imposed budget. Someone had clearly loved and upgraded it. After watching for over two weeks hoping someone would be tempted, decided to go for it. In the end XT and DX equipped, rude not to.
Plus it fits in with all my 700c bikes being British brands
Was not upgraded by the current owner, who bought it to use on a trip from Spain to the UK using minimal cash on the trip!
Then upgraded to those upright bars for trips to the local Sainsburys. Boy, scary much above 15 Kmph! Flat bars ASAP.
The seatpost clamp was mine, to replace a standard nut and bolt!

Now what to do? Got a bit of patina, so a restomod work bike with racks seems an option, with the parts going to a minty lugged hybrid in the conservatory

The 1993 MARIN "Glen Ellen" 700c Hybrid I built for my younger brother a while ago. Full XTR M900, Chrome bad & Flite Titanium saddle ...

Latest offering. As a retired loafer my job is to ride around chuntering grumpily.

this one keeps going through minor changes to save weight and upgrade the cheaper parts but it is a whole different proposition to the ebay munter it started as... build thread - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/graham-weigh-cx-build.470562/
