"Risen from ruins" or the story behind this bike:
A colleague discovered this heavy used F800 on a flea market in southern Germany and sent me some pictures by Whatsapp and of course i immediately wanted it because the 502 M crankset! ( Paid 55€!)
The bike was ugly, dirty and covered with power bars sticker.
After holding in my hands i noticed, that the fork works still very sensitiv.

Revived this F1000 recently and converted the cockpit. Original ‘Diamond Black Metallic’ paint. Riding smooth now!
This is the frame I picked up last year that was too small for me. I handed it off to my roommate and recently added some minor upgrades/cleaning for a birthday gift. The saddle bag is thanks to @Brian
Our old F600 Furio needed an update so I did some gravel bike type mods just for fun.
- Shimano GRX 1x11 chainset. 42T cassette, XT derailleur.
- Hope Mini Mono disc brakes (was V brakes)
- Old Coda wheels of an old Jeykll with narrow tyres.
My old lime green frame cracked so I found another one, almost unused, and transplanted the forks (serviced and painted them) and equipment - XT, Hope Mini Mono brakes, Hope hubs. As good as new!
Bought this 28 dt Swiss weels
I like the look
I hope it’s a good speeder
Ho recuperato il suo telaio e poi è stata costruita con tutto componenti dell'anno della bici. Unico elemento dei nostri giorni le pinze freno
This always has been my favorite Cannondale. No completely polished frames were sold in Switzerland. The fork was always black for legal reasons. If I having it correct in my mind, 30% of a vehicle were not allowed to shine.
