The first Cannondale of a friend. Too small for him, he gave it to me. It was all original with suntour XC comp groupo, and the gripshift, but I made some upgrade for riding it : Ritchey crankset, Flite saddle, Suntour SE Pedersen brakes and mavic ceramic rims…

Just finished restoring my 1986 SM700. I bought all new NOS 80's Suntour XC components. Decals from Vintage Cannondale. Waterford Cycles (formerly Paramount Design Group a Schwinn Comapny) did the awesome paint work. The only modern parts are the Brave Machine rims, Moto Digger tires and Azonic DH bars with Brave Machine grips. I kept the old Brooks saddle on it that I had put on it back in '86. I just love these rigid 24/26 Cannondales. I've had many new mountain bikes and kept going back...
