Showcase
Purchased this frame set from the UK recently, Original painnt work. Decided to build this up as a hybrid runabout and equipped with Shimano 105 group set.
I traded an 84 Trek 620 for this bike. It's got Suntour Superbe brakes and calipers; Suntour downtube shifters; Suntour Cyclone II FD; Suntour GPX RD(i believe this to be a replacement); Suntour Superbe pedals with Christophe clips and straps; Cinelli stem and bars along with the usual Laprade stem under the Specialized saddle i scored for free from my LBS a while back.
It was necessary to remove the awful bar tape and huge padded grips that were on the bike when i got it. Those went...
After riding the F2000 for a few thousand kilometres I decided to swap frames again. The F700 is lighter and, to my surprise, has a different geometry (e.g. longer top tube) even though both frames have the same size.
I've ridden the F2000 for a rather short time (approx. 3 1/2 months) but it has been to the Alps, a 12 hour race and a mountain bike marathon in that short period. It's a fun ride and I'm pretty sure to keep it. Just in case...
This bike was repainted creamy -yellow immediately after buying as R1000 frameset in 1995.
Rose mark is one of my trade-marks because this is arranged as \"ROSE THORN\" in uniform of my road race team.
With this bike, I used to get high prizes in road time trial races, for example SHIMANO SUZUKA.
I exchanged MAVIC bullhorn handlebar to normal shallow type drop handle bar, and started hard and basic training for win!

She was built in September of 86 but sold as an 87. 56cm. As of this week I've had her for six weeks and have put well over 600 miles on her without a hitch. Found on craigslist for $250.
This was my very first Cannondale that I purchased at The Bicycle Shop in State College, Pennsylvania in 1989.

Update July 19th 2013
Finished this one a few days ago. I replaced a few worn out components but for the most part everything was degreased, cleaned, regreased and polished. New parts include AD-290 levers, XCD rollercam and cheap Farmer John copies. Also had to replace the Sakae cranks as one was rounded, swapped the pedals for some SR Lowfat and had to replace the freewheel and chain.
