Thanks to Andyastar my 1991 M1000 hanging in an unloved corner of the garage began to resonate as a worthy project.

I bought her new (first new bike as an adult) almost 20 years ago in San Rafael, Marin Co, CA, and she came with a Judy SL (2.5\"!! HAHA) - I resurrected her 2 years ago as a City SS with various leftover and 2nd hand parts. 46x13 = fast and so light. Chain tension device adapted from DH chain guide parts I had around. I finished the Sea Otter Classic cross country race on it (had to ride it UP the Corkscrew) not in last place, and took two epic Moab trips (Slickrock, Poison Spider, and down...
From 1996 till 2014, did a great job, been in places where no car would reach. Now it is stolen, I just hope the tief doesn't repaint it, the mango color is unique, it changes slightly during the day from yellow in the morning to dark orange at sunset, rewarding your ride.
No. 4 of 4. Bought in 2011 from the online shop STEWARTS CYCLE CITY in Nelson (NZA), in fairly good conditions. Then rebuilt front and rear suspensions, changed stem and handle bar putting a new whole TRUVATIV set, changed shifter Grip Shift SRT 800 (completely broken) putting a new Shimano Twist Shifter, changed tyres and grips. The bike was built in june 1996 and is shown on the 1997 catalogue. In spite of the old age it's still a reasonable downhill tool.
No.3 of 4. Bought in 1997, 2.nd hand, from my cannondale dealer and kept till now. Just changed from original version Answer handle bar, Shimano Twist Shifters (ex Grip Shift SRT 800), Syncros seatpost. The bike was built in september 1995 and is shown in the 1996 catalogue. It also differs between catalogue for the shimano lx crankset instead of coda.
2000 Cannondale F 700 with Shimano XT group set and Easton Carbon bars and seat tube.
Another great Ebay find. Hardly ever rode and sat in a garage for about 15 years until I brought it in 2012.
I brought a Killer V 900 new many years ago just like this one and rode it 37.5 miles to work everyday and 37.5 miles home every night for about three years. On the weekends I would just do about 50 miles round trip and take one day off. Spending that amount of time in the saddle it wasn't long before I started racing. So I took off the front fork and put on an after market Manituo, missed spelled but all you old heads know what I mean. I started XC at first and then fell in love with the...
