Yes, the elastomer fitted inside the spring

First 100 miles completed, no issues, no stone chips, no punctures. She rides better than new, with the updated components and every part fully refurbished. Even the head shock is working as it should.

Finished .......

Pleased so far.......

A rainy day in England, but gives me the chance to go into the man cave and crack on with the reassembly....... So far no issues.......

Assembly starts tomorrow

Just got my frame and forks back from the paint shop after they gave it a coat of lacquer. They’ve done a great job, it just looks wet, the shine makes it even hard to photograph.

Now that's another nice one you have there....... Love the "F" Series bikes, best looking front suspension bikes ever. And they ride great and perform great. Looking forward to your updates........... What's the plan ??

Looking forward to your updates .....

I'm Getting There.........Well, I got the frame back from the paint shop, but only for long enough to apply the Cannondale Frame Stickers, then I quickly rushed it back to the paint shop so they can lacquer it early next week. Very pleased with the quality of their work, the Audi Nardo Grey...

Yep, powder coating and the heat process is fine on a steel frame, but on an alloy frame i wouldn’t risk it.

I decided to go with paint as opposed to powder coating. Unsure of how the alloy frame would have dealt with the powder coating process of being baked on at 175 degrees centigrade, and was assured the paint (Automobile) Will be fine for trail/trekking.

Sorry for lack of updates, frame still away at spray shop and don’t want to rush them. Spent the weekend refurbishing some of the components I’ll be reusing in the build (Of which there’s very few), Rocky Mountain Bars, Cannondale Stem, which after a degrease and some satin finish paint, have...

I purchased a new F2000 almost as soon as they came out in 1999, after having my F700 stolen on it's transit back to England. My F2000 was the same color as yours and one of the first hydraulic disc braked bikes (That worked). But for some reason I just never quite fell in love with it as I had...

Yep, I know what you mean, but I wanted to keep it original ....... but using later/better quality components.

Totally Stunning........... You've done an amazing job, another one saved.

Yep, the XT pedals are really light. The 1997 F700 had 8sp cassette as standard, so stuck with original 8sp for the rebuild, may try going up to a 44 on the front, if the deraillure can handle that, that’ll be fine for my trail/river bank riding.
