Recently upgraded wheelset, stem and fork. Total Shimano 105 groupset replacement.
Bought brand new in 1992 ridden hard but babied ever since new.
This is one of my Cannondales. A M800 Beast of the East. According to framenumber it's a 1993 model.
One of my absolutely favorites, a 88th custom painted red shred. Found this beautiful frameset on eBay and it came from Hungary. the Price was ok the shipping costs horrible high but how often do you get a chance to get a Hand on custom painted C´Dales? Here in Germany it´s something like a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. So I had to get it...
A few weeks later it arrived perfectly packaged...
And it looked good enough for me...
Some...
After long time of searching for a M 600 in Patriot paintjob in the right size, finally this one came to me...
It was in a horrible state so I stripped it completely...
As the components were all in more than a bad shape I decided to get rid off the old parts and rebuild this one with a Deore DX Group after polishing the frameset...
The Headset had to be replaced, too, so I got a NOS Tioga oversize...
Found a SE 1000 frameset in bad shape a few month ago...
Looked good on first sight but it was badly sprayed with a can, so it required a new paintjob. After a few days of thought I decided not to go for a catalog rebuild. This way I could create a new color sheme for the frameset...
Black & White with a few red details should do it...
As contrast to the white mainframe I decided to go with a black XT group...
This one was really hard to find, mainly because it wasn´t named as a cannondale on eBay. Nearly by chance it was found by a nice guy at the classic ibc forum, who gave a hint...
Really ugly, or not?
So I bought it for little money and I was surprised, that it was in complete original state besides the color of the frameset...
So I stripped this one to it´s parts...
After removing the Headset Rests of the original color...
Here is another Restauration of an old C´Dale...
Bought in the US on eBay in a miserable state...
I stripped this one completely to rebuild it with a complete Shimano XT 730 Group. After a new paintjob the frameset looked like this...
Built up with the following parts:
- Suntour bottom bracket
- Sugino crankset
- Sakae pedals
- Sakae stem
- Tange...
